Due to the hierarchical structure and heterogeneity of most deployed wireless networks, multiple data transmissions using the same communication resource, such as same frequency band and time slot, are likely to occur in the same area. ...

A privacy-preserving secure communication in ad hoc (without infrastructure) mission critical wireless networking system suitable for unmanned aerial vehicle communication systems is introduced and analyzed. It is expected that in a critical condition, ...

In recent years we have seen a gradually increasing concern for the urban landscape and the way it is designed and evaluated. This concern, a result of the emergence of digital technologies and convergence of different scientific disciplines, is based ...

Wireless networks are particularly vulnerable to spoofing and route poisoning attacks due to the contested transmission medium. Recent works investigate physical layer features such as received signal strength or radio frequency fingerprints to localize ...

Plastic waveguide links are proposed as a cost-friendly, light-weight and EMI-robust alternative for copper and optical interconnects for Gbps data transfer up to 10 m. Measured properties of the rectangular polypropylene waveguide such as dielectric ...

This paper presents a front-end architecture for fully integrated 60 GHz phased array receivers. It employs LO-path beamforming using a phase controlled phase-locked loop (PC-PLL). To demonstrate the architecture a circuit is implemented featuring a two ...

Development of miniaturized communication systems for exchanging data over short distances with little power consumption is an actual problem. This problem is solved by such standards as Bluetooth, ZigBee etc. Nowadays for extra size devices with power ...

In many fields of technology more mobile transmission paths will be used in the future. In order to ensure a secure transmission of data, studies for coexistence of the used radio technologies with other currently wide used radio systems (WLAN, ...

Smart grid uses intelligent transmission and distribution networks to deliver electricity. It aims to improve the electric system's reliability, security, and efficiency through two-way communication of consumption data and dynamic optimization of ...

We study a fundamental problem in determining the multicast capacity in energy-constrained wireless networks with lossy transmission links. The multicast capacity in our paper is defined as the maximum number of packets that can be disseminated from the ...

Minimizing latency and energy consumption is the prime objective of the design of data aggregation in battery-powered wireless networks. A tradeoff exists between the aggregation latency and the energy consumption, which has been widely studied under ...

In this paper, we present Esense, a new paradigm of communication between devices that have fundamentally different physical layers. Esense is based on sensing and interpreting energy profiles. While our ideas are generic enough to be applicable in a ...

Mobile devices equipped with multiple network interfaces can increase their throughput by making use of parallel transmissions over multiple paths and bandwidth aggregation, enabled by the stream control transport protocol (SCTP). However, the different ...

This paper addresses, in the context of wireless network design, the problem of optimally partitioning the spectrum into a set of nonoverlapping channels with nonuniform spectrum widths. While narrower bands split the total available spectrum into more ...

Classification algorithms used to support the decisions of human analysts are often used in settings in which zero-one loss is not the appropriate indication of performance. The zero-one loss corresponds to the operating point with equal costs for false ...

Public-key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) is a versatile tool. It allows a third party knowing the search trapdoor of a keyword to search encrypted documents containing that keyword without decrypting the documents or knowing the keyword. However,...

New applications based on cloud computing, such as data synchronization for large chain departmental stores and bank transaction records, require very high-speed data transport. Although a number of high-bandwidth networks have been built, existing ...

The measurement of an emitter's position using electronic support passive sensors is termed passive localization and plays an important part both in electronic support and electronic attack. The emitting target could be in terrestrial or underwater ...

To cope with challenging problems faced by traditional multicast routing protocols, many branching-router (BR)-based multicast routing schemes with desirable features have been proposed. However, the current BR-based methods still lack efficient ...

The capacity of access links has increased dramatically in recent times, and bottlenecks are moving deeper into the Internet core. When bottlenecks occur in a core (or AS-AS peering) link, it is possible to use additional detour paths to improve the end-...
