The INTERPLAY research team participated in the 2026 International Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) Symposium, contributing to scientific discussions on wireless systems, measurements, and data-driven analysis.
Professor George Tsoulos organized and chaired the special session "AI-Assisted Modeling, Analysis, and Measurements for Wireless Systems", which brought together nine international contributions on machine learning, wireless propagation, antenna systems, remote sensing, and measurement-based analysis.
As part of the symposium, Dimitra Zarbouti presented the paper "Temporal Dynamics of Urban RF-EMF Exposure from Long-Term Fixed-Site Monitoring".
The work investigates how RF-EMF exposure evolves over time in a real urban environment using continuous measurements collected over a 22-month monitoring campaign in Kalamata, Greece. The analysis revealed clear daily and seasonal patterns associated with human activity and mobile network utilization, while also highlighting differences in the long-term behaviour of individual cellular frequency bands. The results demonstrate the value of continuous fixed-site monitoring for understanding the temporal evolution of wireless environments and the factors that influence them.
The presented research contributes to the objectives of INTERPLAY by strengthening the measurement and analysis methodologies needed to better understand wireless network behaviour in real operational environments. Such insights support the development of intelligent communication and sensing infrastructures for future smart city and public safety applications.
