A Strong Authentication Scheme with User Privacy for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used for many real‐time applications. User authentication is an important security service for WSNs to ensure only legitimate users can access the sensor data within the network. In 2012, Yoo and others proposed a security‐performance‐balanced user authentication scheme for WSNs, which is an enhancement of existing schemes. In this paper, we show that Yoo and others' scheme has security flaws, and it is not efficient for real WSNs. In addition, this paper proposes a new strong authentication scheme with user privacy for WSNs. The proposed scheme not only achieves end‐party mutual authentication (that is, between the user and the sensor node) but also establishes a dynamic session key. The proposed scheme preserves the security features of Yoo and others' scheme and other existing schemes and provides more practical security services. Additionally, the efficiency of the proposed scheme is more appropriate for real‐world WSNs applications.     

A Hybrid RF and Vision Aware Fusion Scheme for Multi-Sensor Wireless Capsule Endoscopic Localization

A huge torrent of data traffic is generated from various heterogeneous applications and services at the Internet backbone. In general, at the backbone, all such applications and services are allocated spectral resources under a shared spectrum environment within elastic optical networks (EONs). In such a fully shared environment, connection requests (CRs) belonging to different traffic profiles compete for spectral resources. Hence, it is very challenging for network operators to resolve resource conflict that occur at the time of provisioning resources to such CRs. The heterogeneous traffic profile (HTP) considered in this work includes permanent lightpath demands (PLDs) and scheduled lightpath demands (SLDs). We propose various distance adaptive routing and spectrum assignment (DA-RSA) heuristics to resolve resource conflict among these two traffic profiles in EONs under a full sharing environment. Conventionally, preemption was the only technique to resolve such resource conflict among HTPs. Since preemption involves the overhead of selecting CRs to be preempted and then deallocating the resources given to those CRs, excessive preemption adversely affects the performance of the network. Therefore, in this work, we utilized bandwidth splitting as a solution to resolve resource conflict among HTPs under such a shared environment in EONs. Moreover, an integrated solution consisting of splitting and preemption is also proposed. We refer to this new integration as flow-based preemption. Our simulation results demonstrate that bandwidth splitting-based heuristics yield significant improvement in terms of the amount of bandwidth accepted in the network, link and node utilization ratio, number of transponders utilized and the amount of bandwidth dropped due to preemption. Moreover, the flow-based preemption approach is proved to be superior in performance amongst all proposed strategies.

Wireless Power Transfer and In-Vehicle Networking Integration for Energy-Efficient Electric Vehicles

This paper presents the wireless power transfer (WPT) technology based on inductive coupling and the design challenges of a hybrid energy harvester (EH) circuit as a promising solution to promote the energy efficiency of the electric vehicles (EVs). The design methodologies of ultra-low power (ULP) electronic module based on low leakage conditioning and processing device are detailed based on nanoscale transistor technology so that the WPT and hybrid EH can be implemented for self-powered devices in EVs. Moreover, in-vehicle network design verification based on a new power-aware behavioral model formulation and extraction for high-speed and ULP transceivers that enables the transient prediction of power and ground currents and voltages when multiple drivers are simultaneously switching for signal-power integrity evaluation. The derivation of the proposed model is based on the analysis and extension of the input/output buffer information specification (IBIS). The analysis of the previous IBIS and Mpilog modeling approaches is followed by a new model formulation along with a well-designed characterization and parametric extraction procedure.     

一种新型的无线光通信调制方法

针对脉冲位置调制(PPM)和数字脉冲间隔调制(DPIM)等方法存在的问题,提出了一种新的双宽脉冲位置调制(DD-PPM)方式.在给出其符号结构的基础上,分析了带宽需求、传输容量和平均功率,推导出弱湍流信道下的误包率模型,并将其与开关键控调制(OOK),PPM和DPIM等典型调制方式进行了比较.理论分析和仿真结果表明,DD-PPM不仅比OOK具有更高的功率利用率和更好的差错性能,比PPM具有更高的带宽效率和传输容量,比DPIM具有相近甚至略好的差错性能,而且因符号长度固定,解调时不存在等待或缓存器溢出等问题,较DPIM更易工程实现.因而作为一种折中的调制方式,DD-PPM在无线光通信中有一定的应用场合.

An Anonymous Authentication Scheme for Plugin Electric Vehicles Joining to Charging/Discharging Station in Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G) Networks

Incorporating electric vehicles into smart grid,vehicle-to-Grid(V2G) makes it feasible to charge for large-scale electric vehicles,and in turn support electric vehicles,as mobile and distributed storage units,to discharge to smart grid.In order to provide reliable and efficient services,the operator of V2 G networks needs to monitor realtime status of every plug-in electric vehicle(PEV) and then evaluate current electricity storage capability.Anonymity,aggregation and dynamic management are three basic but crucial characteristics of which the services of V2 G networks should be.However,few of existing authentication schemes for V2 G networks could satisfy them simultaneously.In this paper,we propose a secure and efficient authentication scheme with privacy-preserving for V2 G networks.The scheme makes the charging/discharging station authenticate PEVs anonymously and manage them dynamically.Moreover,the monitoring data collected by the charging/discharging station could be sent to a local aggregator(LAG)in batch mode.In particular,time overheads during verification stage are independent with the number of involved PEVs,and there is no need to update the membership certificate and key pair before PEV logs out.

A New Scheme for Seamless Inter-Cluster Handoffs in Wireless ATM Networks

Many schemes to reduce the inter-cluster handoff delay in wireless ATMnetworks have been proposed, but the previous schemes waste relativelylarge network resources to decrease the path rerouting delay. In thispaper, we propose the 2-layered cluster concept, where the seamlessinter-cluster handoff can be supported regardless of path reroutingtime. As a result, the waste of wired resources and the rate of theinter-cluster handoff can be reduced. From the performance analysisand simulation, the inter-cluster handoff rate for non-real-timetraffic is only about 1/3 of the conventional result. Suchadvantageous features of the proposed scheme neither incur anyincrease of the total handoff rate nor require additional ATMswitches.

A New Coded Cooperation Scheme for Wireless Communications and its Performance Analysis

We propose a new coded cooperation scheme for wireless communications to obtain transmit diversity in the scenarios that agents such as mobile handsets, sensor network nodes and etc., due to size, power or other constraints, cannot utilize multiple antennas. New scheme supports more than two cooperative users with a relatively low cooperation level. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in a frequency nonselective slow fading channel. For two cooperative users, we provide the exact analytical analysis. However, for more than two users, as the analytical analysis is very complicated, our performance evaluation is based on computer simulations. Our numerical results show that each of the N cooperative users obtains a full diversity order of N at moderate to high signal to noise ratio regimes. In addition, the results indicate that the new coded cooperation scheme can achieve a noticeable gain over the non-cooperative scheme. Further, the simulation results confirm the analytical derivations derived for two cooperative users.

A New Scheme to Avoid Collisions for Broadcast Packets in Wireless LANs

This paper proposes a new approach to avoiding collisions for broadcast packets in distributed wireless LANs. The basic idea is to use in-band pulses to convey the medium access control information for broadcast packets. The new approach extends the basic functionality of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) from the unicast case to the broadcast case and significantly improves the broadcasting efficiency in wireless LANs.
