RIS can customize the radio propagation environments by reconfiguring the phase and amplitude of the incident signals. RIS is a thin surface composed of N elements, each being a reconfigurable scatter: a small antenna receives and re-radiates without amplification, but with a configurable time-delay. RISs are made of passive or active metamaterials. The active metamaterial may be tunable metamaterial by changing the bias voltages of the varactor or PIN diodes, reconfigurable metamaterial using plasma, graphene, vanadium dioxide (VO2) materials and space-time-coding digital metamaterial with the aid of field programmable gate array (FPGA). RIS can be categorized into three types: 1. Reflector type: the RIS only reflects incident signals towards the users on the same side of the base station (BS). 2. Transmissive type: the incident signal will penetrate the RIS and be transmitted towards users on the opposite side of the BS. 3. Hybrid type: the incident signals will be spitted into two parts: one part is transmitted and the other is reflected. The RIS is mainly considered to be a beyond 5G technology operating at frequencies from tens of Gigahertz’s (GHz) to Terahertz’s (THz). At these frequency bands, the signal propagation is heavily attenuated and be blocked completely by the obstacles in the propagation environment. RIS can be made in different shapes, including but not limited to building facades, indoor walls and road bill boards, Typical applications of RIS, can be categorized into two types: 1, wireless communication, RIS can improve the spectrum efficiency, coverage extension and energy efficiency. 2. RF sensing, RIS has a wide range of applications in improving security, smart space, safety and the communication reliability of wireless networks. This talk will be focused on the different RIS types and presented the most recent research activities at FEE Antenna Research Group in Faculty of Electronic Engineering, Menoufia University, Egypt in this topic.","PeriodicalId":156721,"journal":{"name":"2022 39th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115652363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of network using bit error rate (BER) is considered under various channel fading effects. Hence, the relations for BER at different signal to noise ratio (SNR) are formulated under different channels based on distributions, namely: Rician, Rayleigh and Erlang. Thus, closed form expressions for BER analysis of WSN are derived under these channel fading distributions aided by Maple 7 environment. The derived closed form expressions results are compared with conventional channel model based on Nakagami-m distribution. The BER behavior is studied by changing the modulated signal parameters, such as spreading sequence length, M-ary signaling and bit duration. The obtained results confirm that channel based on Rayleigh distribution achieves lower BER at all SNR compared to other channel distributions (except at very low SNR, which is higher than Rician distribution-based model), while channel based on Nakagami distribution achieves lower BER at higher SNR only. It is observed that channels based on Rayleigh and Nakagami-m distributions give the lowest possible BER at higher SNR values, while the channels based on Erlang distribution have the highest BER at all SNR.","PeriodicalId":156721,"journal":{"name":"2022 39th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125061668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exact symbolic expressions are obtained by a symbolic solver for both the objectives and constraints. Two optimization problems are formulated: A single-objective optimization problem for minimizing the noise and a multi-objective optimization problem for minimizing both noise and power consumption. The proposed optimization flow is very fast and takes less than 20 s on a standard computer.

In this paper, we propose a customized AES to enhance the security of the AES algorithm to be hard to cryptanalysis and become safer to use in sensitive networks and applications whose security is of utmost priority, like military networks and applications. Security of customized AES will be improved by modification in two points; the first uses a new AES key expansion algorithm to remove dependencies between round keys and improve key expansion time, and the second point uses a key-dependent S-box for each round to overcome the problems caused by using a static AES S-box. Finally, results show that the Proposed AES provides a significant enhancement in security compared to the original AES.","PeriodicalId":156721,"journal":{"name":"2022 39th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"362 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134406084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
