During last decade, there have been impressive endeavors to design efficient authentication protocols which can provide secure and anonymous communication for end-users. In this research, we formally analyze a recently improved authentication protocol which is proposed for RFID tags consistent with EPC Class 1 Generation 2 standard. Our analysis show that however the authors have tried to improve the original protocol and make it secure against various active and passive attacks, but still their improved version has some serious drawbacks which make it vulnerable to traceability and forward traceability privacy attacks. Our attacks are mounted in the Ouafi and Phan's RFID formal privacy model which is an extended version of Juels and Weis's well-known privacy model. Finally, we modify the structure of analyzed protocol and propose a revised version which prevents all discovered attacks.","PeriodicalId":183694,"journal":{"name":"2017 Advances in Wireless and Optical Communications (RTUWO)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124722822","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}

In D2D systems, user equipments (UEs) do not necessarily communicate via evolved Node Base station (eNB); instead, they are allowed to communicate directly with each other. This underlying communication generates interference due to reusing the same resources of the conventional cellular network. Therefore, efficient interference management techniques are required to keep the interference under control. Most of the existing results assume perfect channel state information (CSI), which is considered to be an unrealistic assumption. In this paper, the problem of interference management for underlay D2D users in a two-tier heterogeneous macro-small cell network is studied assuming imperfect CSI. The effect of channel estimation error on the coverage probabilities of D2D and cellular users is investigated. We also derive an expression for the D2D optimal power that aims to maximize the coverage probability and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of both links while satisfying minimum quality of service (QoS) requirements (SINR target).","PeriodicalId":183694,"journal":{"name":"2017 Advances in Wireless and Optical Communications (RTUWO)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126759140","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}

According to analytical, asymptotic and Monte Carlo simulation results, the hybrid untrustworthy relay selection strategy achieves cooperative diversity order in high signal-to-noise regimes. However, friendly jammers and loop interference severely affect the system performance and degrade the achievable cooperative diversity order from M to 0 and also cause system coding gain losses.","PeriodicalId":183694,"journal":{"name":"2017 Advances in Wireless and Optical Communications (RTUWO)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125628048","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}

These vehicular communications have stringent transmission requirements. Among various proposed communication protocols, use of heterogeneous networks, combining long term evolution (LTE) with dedicated short range communications (DSRC), have shown promising results. This paper proposes an LTE gateway selection procedure that enables multitier hybrid architecture. The proposed multitier heterogeneous adaptive VANET (MHAV) framework consists of two tiers, the high tier consist of authority owned vehicles or public transport operators such as buses, lorries and taxis, while low tier consist of privately owned vehicles. Having an authority owned gateway addresses the security and privacy concern raised by private car owners on sharing their information with other cars. Results from implementation of our proposed algorithm using extensive system-level simulations showed an increase in coverage area for DSRC while minimizing the number of gateway switches made by 30–35% in comparison with previously proposed multitier registration techniques. Traffic on LTE network in our simulations is also reduced by 50%.","PeriodicalId":183694,"journal":{"name":"2017 Advances in Wireless and Optical Communications (RTUWO)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115442013","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}
