About

Stojan Kitanov is a telecommunications researcher whose work sits at the intersection of next-generation mobile networks and distributed computing architectures. His research focuses primarily on 5G network technologies and fog computing, exploring how edge-distributed computing paradigms can address the escalating demands of mobile broadband and the Internet of Everything. Kitanov's most influential contribution, "5G and the Fog — Survey of Related Technologies and Research Directions" (2016), has garnered 61 citations and stands as a comprehensive reference point for researchers navigating the convergence of 5G infrastructure and fog computing frameworks. Alongside this, his 2016 state-of-the-art survey on fog computing for 5G networks further cemented his role as an early synthesizer of these emerging fields, accumulating 19 citations. His work consistently addresses critical challenges such as Quality of Service, latency reduction, and service orchestration — themes he continued to develop in his 2018 paper on fog computing orchestration mechanisms. Kitanov's research emerged during a pivotal moment in wireless communications history, and his early, prolific output in 2016 helped lay conceptual groundwork for researchers and engineers shaping the practical deployment of 5G-enabled, fog-supported intelligent networks.
