LINCS Lab at ICC 2026 in Glasgow, with Six Research Papers!
LINCS Lab is proud to announce its strong presence at the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) 2026, held in Glasgow, Scotland, with six research papers accepted at this major international conference in communications and networking.
IEEE ICC is one of the flagship international conferences of the IEEE Communications Society, bringing together researchers, academics, and industry professionals from around the world to exchange the latest advances in communications technologies. This year, the LINCS Lab contributed research addressing key challenges in 6G wireless networks, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), non-terrestrial networks, network slicing, cell-free massive MIMO, wireless security, adversarial AI, and intelligent resource management.
The lab was represented on site by Prof. Soumaya Cherkaoui, Dr. Deema H. Tashman, and Dr. Muddasir Rahim who attended the conference in Glasgow and presented the research papers. Their participation provided an excellent opportunity to share the lab’s research with the international communications community, engage in discussions with researchers and experts, and explore future collaboration opportunities.
The accepted papers from the LINCS Lab are:
D. H. Tashman and S. Cherkaoui, “When Critics Disagree: Adaptive Reward Poisoning Attacks in RIS-Aided Wireless Control System,” accepted in IEEE ICC 2026. [
