An initial static authentication takes place at the beginning of a session, during which the secret is securely shared between two parties. Once the session is established, the continuous authentication scheme generates time-bound tokens using the shared secret, a time-varying component, and a random value. These are used to verify the identity of the connected device in fixed time intervals. These time-bound tokens, which only remain valid for a predetermined time frame and ensure the continuity aspect of the mechanism, can be linked back to the original secret at the server for verification. Therefore, lightweight continuous authentication is achieved using only a few low complexity cryptographic operations, like hash and MAC, without the need to perform costly cryptographic operations. In case of failure, the node is temporarily blocked for an exponential function period of past occurrences of failure. Performance evaluation over a mesh routing protocol shows that our proposal fulfills lightweight and low bandwidth constraining requirements while satisfying the security requirements of an authentication scheme.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123059730","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}

As known, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and both FBMC and UFMC have common characteristics like the use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in their functional blocks diagram. However, the FBMC and UFMC are mainly based on different filtering operations, which induce a high implementation complexity but present a better performance in a broadcasting system when compared to the classical OFDM. Their computation complexity is studied to highlight the optimal low complexity algorithm. Furthermore, the compromise between FBMC and UFMC waveforms applied to DVB-T2 in terms of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) performance gains, spectral efficiency, and complexity is established. This paper shows that UFMC is a good compromise as its complexity is reduced to the same complexity as OFDM while having advantages.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124486612","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 advantage of diversity technique is exploited to improve the signal robustness in an Single Frequency Network (SFN). Co-located and distributed diversity topologies are foreseen to deploy MISO in DVB-T2 system. While the former supposes that transmitters are localized on the same site, the latter implements transmitters at distributed sites. In this work, the performance highlighted by these topologies is presented in comparison to the performance of Single Input Single Output (SISO) technique. Moreover, in addition to the Bit Error Rate (BER) classically used to evaluate system performance, the Modulation Error Ratio (MER) is also used. The results have shown that co-located MISO technique outperforms SISO technique by 2.18 dB while distributed MISO technique outperforms SISO technique by 5.37 dB at a BER of 10−5 in presence of Rayleigh P1 channel. In the case of SFN, co-located MISO technique outperforms SISO technique by 2.58 dB while MISO distributed mode outperforms SISO technique by 15.24 dB at a BER of 10−5. Furthermore, the MER values confirm the performance improvement of DVB-T2 system when distributed MISO is exploited.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"119 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129298127","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}

This paper presents simulation performance of indoor transmission at selected carrier frequencies in the range 73-142 GHz. All simulations assume an average Effective Isotropic Radiate Power (EIRP) of 40 dBm and a receiver antenna gain of 25 dBi. An LTE testbed with up/down converters is used for video streaming over 20 MHz channels at 73 GHz and 142 GHz. The higher carrier frequency (142 GHz) has encountered lower reflection losses and performed better than the lower carrier frequency (73 GHz). A ray-tracing wireless prediction software with a scattering model is also used to simulate broadband transmission over 2 GHz channels at a carrier frequency of 100 GHz. In one office space of about 13m-by-25m, an optimally located single transmitter has provided a near ubiquitous coverage with a channel capacity over 14 Gbps. In another office space of 35m-by-50m, three optimally located transmitters have also provided a near ubiquitous coverage and a channel capacity over 10 Gbps. Signal scattering from common indoor building materials has extended coverage and enhanced signal quality especially under Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) conditions. The frequency range 73-142 GHz is useful for future high-capacity, high-speed and low-latency indoor communication systems that can use LTE-based signalling.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"2011 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125635024","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}

To alleviate the effects of the noise, several mitigation techniques can be resorted to. In this context, information on the impulsive noise’s statistical parameters is generally required in order to optimize the mitigation technique performance. To this end, this study proposes a deep learning approach for the estimation of the statistical parameters of impulsive noise with memory where the received signal is impaired by Rayleigh fading and two-state Markov-Gaussian impulsive noise. A deep Convolutional Neural Network - Long-Short Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) model is designed to extract this information. Provided results demonstrate that the model outperforms baseline approaches and is able to efficiently learn and infer the impulsive noise parameters from a relatively small number of symbols, making it suitable for impulsive noise detection and mitigation in dynamic environments.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131985358","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}

Within this context, long range (LoRa) has emerged as one of the prominent low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies that is envisioned to accommodate the future IoT requirements. Nevertheless, in dense deployments, LoRa has limited capacity since it adopts the ALOHA random access protocol which suffers from unavoidable collisions. Therefore, recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been integrated with LoRa in order to improve its spectral efficiency by multiplexing users in the power domain. This work studies the performance of NOMA-enabled LoRa networks in both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. Finally, the effect of inter-spreading factor interference is investigated in order to highlight on the impact of the imperfect orthogonality of LoRa spreading factors.","PeriodicalId":354985,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125519753","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}
