  Out-of-band emissions (OOBE) measurements in the 36–37 GHz band were performed on a commercially available outdoor 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) gNodeB operating in the n260 band (37–40 GHz). The 5G mmWave gNodeB is part of the Institute for Telecommu...

• Jaden Pieper and Stephen D. Voran, “Unseen but not Unknown: Using Dataset Concealment to Robustly Evaluate Speech Quality Estimation Models,” Conference Paper, May 2026

  We introduce Dataset Concealment (DSC), a rigorous new procedure for evaluating and interpreting objective speech quality estimation models. DSC quantifies and decomposes the performance gap between research results and real-world application requir...
