Key issues are certainly security provision for applications exchanging data in diverse wireless networks and seamless mobility (handoff) between different coverage domains and, possibly, access technologies. Many proposals are based on the use of the mobile IPv6 protocol. In this paper we analyse the security threats emerging from some MIPv6 mechanisms for mobility management, and we propose a solution to secure them, under the assumption that both communicating end users are attached to a MIPv6-enabled IP multimedia subsystem network","PeriodicalId":292242,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Software in Telecommunications and Computer Networks","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115767249","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}

Use will be made of an assembly of constitutive elements representing a postured human subject. Based on the SAR dependence on frequency, two different equivalents of the exposed human body are proposed. For frequencies below human resonance, the irradiated body is assimilated to an interconnected multi-sphere electrode structure. Conversely, above human resonance, the human equivalent is envisaged being composed by a disconnected assembly of double-cone antennas surrounded by biological media. Simple formulas for the local SAR evaluation are derived accordingly","PeriodicalId":292242,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Software in Telecommunications and Computer Networks","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125440714","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}

During the handoff period the STA cannot receive traffic and the quality of these applications is therefore reduced. A significant cause of this latency is that the STA normally scans all possible channels before synchronizing one of them. Considering that normally several channels are empty and that the 802.11 infrastructure architecture provides for fixed access points, it is possible to reduce the overall latency by reducing the number of channels to be scanned. In this paper we show an algorithm for selectively scanning just one probable channel. If such a channel is not available, the algorithm selects a second candidate until it scans all channels. These probabilities depend on the movements inside that LAN of previous STA. We show motivations and specifications of the algorithm","PeriodicalId":292242,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Software in Telecommunications and Computer Networks","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130721295","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 probes are inherently wideband and thus non-selective, what makes them a good choice for quick wideband surveys. On the other hand, this characteristic presents a problem when trying to discriminate signals in a multifrequency environment. The most commonly used diode-based probes have another significant drawback: some probes are very sensitive to the waveform of the measured signal. As shown by the measurement experiment described in this paper, the measurement result of such a probe can show overestimated value of the field strength, which is still usable for the worst-case RADHAZ analysis. Also, the experiment shows that such probes can show the underestimation of the field strength, which makes them unusable for RADHAZ survey.
