The study is motivated by the extent of electromagnetic radiation in our surroundings, raising worries about health for wireless device users and wearable devices that utilize UWB technology. The proposed antenna is made of a foam substrate having a dielectric constant of 1.07, a thickness of 2 mm with a dimension of <span>(36times 48times 2 {text{mm}}^{3})</span>. The designed structure optimizes UWB (3.1–10.6 GHz) in connotation with the ISM band of 2.4 GHz. The proposed antenna works well over the wide frequency range resulting in a bandwidth of 11.53 GHz and a total gain of 8.05 dBi. An excellent impedance matching is obtained by creating a stub at the feed point which gives the maximum value of S₁₁ as − 44.88 dB. The analysis focuses on the SAR values to measure the rate of electromagnetic energy absorption by human tissues over 1 and 10 g by constructing an equivalent three-layer body phantom model.

NOMA simultaneously serves multiple users within a single resource block, leading to unbounded yet regulated multi-user interference. SIC is widely adopted in the NOMA system to detect users’ symbols. Nevertheless, multi-user interference and error propagation in the SIC layer are inherent challenges in NOMA. Recent studies have aimed to minimize interference and error propagation, imposing stringent conditions on the number of users and power allocation. Thus, this paper proposes novel multiple feedback-based SIC algorithms for the uplink multi-user NOMA scenarios that outperform the conventional SIC.

This paper addresses critical issues such as low spectrum resource utilization and the energy constraints of devices. The investigation focuses on the system performance of the shared relay Cognitive Radio Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (CR-NOMA) network based on Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) network model. Unlike the existing CR-NOMA model in which the secondary network user do not participate in the transmission of information from the primary network, we consider the secondary network near user as shared relay. The shared relay utilizes SWIPT technology to harvest energy using a nonlinear energy harvesting model. Additionally, the shared relay assists in transmitting information from the primary network base station to primary user, as well as from the secondary network base station to far user of the secondary network. Subsequently, we conduct a series of simulations to analyze the effects of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), power distribution factor, interference threshold, and time-switching (TS) factor on system performance. Furthermore, we compare and analyze the performance of our proposed network model against CR-NOMA network across three dimensions: outage probability, throughput, and energy efficiency. Our results demonstrate that the proposed network model exhibits superior outage performance and enhances user throughput compared to the CR-NOMA network.

The paper proposes a sector clustering algorithm based on K-means called KMSC. KMSC improves efficiency and balances the cluster size by employing symmetric dividing sectors in conjunction with K-means. For the selection of cluster heads (CHs), KMSC uses the residual energy and distance to calculate the weight of the node, then selects the node with the highest weight as CH. A hybrid single-hop and multi-hop communication is utilized to reduce long-distance transmissions.

Since computational security acknowledges the possibility of breaches when adequate computational resources are available, that is why information-theoretic security is being explored, which suggests the existence of unbreakable cryptographic systems even in the presence of limitless processing power. Secret key exchange has traditionally relied on RSA or DH protocols, but researchers are now exploring innovative approaches for sharing secret keys among wireless network devices, leveraging physical or link layer characteristics. This research seeks to revolutionize secure multi-party key acquisition in wireless networks, capitalizing on information-theoretic security and collaborative data extraction. The proposed secret key generation framework comprehensively organizes and explains the information-theoretic aspects of secret key generation within the lower layers of wireless networks, especially the link layer, proposes a novel information-theoretic SKG framework for the dynamic acquisition of symmetric secret keys, and responds to contemporary information security challenges by relying on information-theory principles rather than vulnerable mathematical relationships in the post-quantum period. A new cryptographic key can be generated using a straightforward method, and when it is combined (XORed) with the previous key, it creates a continuously changing secret for encryption and decryption. This approach enhances security because, as attackers attempt to break the encryption, the system generates fresh, dynamic keys, making it progressively more challenging for them to succeed. The research work in question integrates key renewal, or how often keys are updated (dynamic keys), with a security off-period. It introduces a framework for determining the best key refresh rate based on the anticipated rate at which keys might be compromised. Furthermore, the proposed framework is scalable, allowing new nodes to quickly join the existing network. The system was tested with multiple nodes equipped with IEEE 802.11 interfaces, which were set in monitor mode to capture frames at the link layer. Nodes map their on-time frames onto their Bloom filters. Nodes exchange these Bloom filters in a feedback mechanism. Nodes extract those frames from their .pcap files, which are present in all Bloom filters; these are common frames among all nodes. These frames are used to form a shared secret that is passed to HMAC Key Derivation Function by each node to acquire the final encryption key of the required length. The validation of this encryption key is performed using a simple challenge-response protocol; upon successful validation, encrypted communication begins. Otherwise, the key generation process is restarted.</p>","PeriodicalId":12040,"journal":{"name":"EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
