The Communication Networks Research Group (CNG) concludes a productive year in 2025, marked by various research outcomes and two new project fundings. During the year, CNG received two research grants. The first is the TÜBİTAK 2247-A project titled “Goal-Oriented Networks for Sustainable Machine-Type Communications (GÖREV),” and the second is a TÜRK TELEKOM project titled “Goal-Oriented Solutions for Network-Based Control.” In addition, the group published 14 conference papers and 2 journal papers, and obtained 8 granted patents, which are listed below:
