In this paper, a localization algorithm is developed to calculate PUs position and a novel location based CR (LCR) routing protocol is proposed that has the following properties: (i) it considers the existence of heterogeneous PUs, (ii) exploits PUs location information, (iii) jointly selects spectrum and route, (iv) protects PUs from interference. Clusters of CRs are defined according to the spectral characteristics in a given location area, and the LCR routing protocol acts in two steps: intra-cluster and inter-cluster. Simulations are conducted in terms of CR end-to-end performance and PUs collision risk. Results reveal the importance of formulating routing protocol in terms of PU protection, which is a unique features in CR networks.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"2890-2894"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81897242","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}

But if misused, blocker tags can cause blocking attacks that corrupt the communication between interfered regular tags and readers. Previous approaches can only detect blocking behavior. However, they cannot distinguish malicious blocking from legitimate blocking that can be perfectly allowed to protect customer's privacy. To solve the problem, we carry out the first attempt in the paper to detect real blocking attacks by identifying malicious blocking ranges from authorized ones in a system. We present two pioneer probe-based protocols that can accurately identify malicious blocking ranges in popular tree-based RFID systems, and get rid of their impact before performing RFID applications. We validate the efficacy of the two protocols through theoretical analysis and simulation experiments. The results show that our protocols can identify blocking ranges very fast even when the blocker tag percentage is very low, for example, dozens of blocker tags among tens of thousands of regular tags. Our protocols deliver also a faster blocker tag detection than previous detection methods; our best protocol reduces detection time by over 90% compared with the state-of-the-art detection method.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"2133-2137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84276446","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 this paper, we present a Markov-based model for WSNs that considers the impact of inserting a MAC-level finite buffer on the performance of WSNs. We perform a comprehensive performance analysis of the end-to-end delay, reliability and power consumption using different traffic and network conditions in star and cluster-tree WSN topologies.

In general we find that the frequency of WM appearance and activity duration should be quite high in all channels not used by TV broadcasters to reduce IEEE 802.22 throughput, for example about 50% WM occupancy in each of total of four channels.

We consider a decoding strategy, based on the compute-and-forward strategy, in which the destination decodes two integer-valued linear combinations that relate the transmitted codewords. In this strategy, the relay compresses its observation using Wyner-Ziv compression and then forwards it to the destination. The destination appropriately combines what it gets from the direct transmission and the relay. Then, using this combination, it computes two integer-valued linear combinations. We discuss the encoding/decoding strategy, and evaluate the achievable sum-rate. Next, we consider the problem of allocating the powers and selecting the integer-valued coefficients of the recovered linear combinations in order to maximize the sum-rate. For the model under consideration, the optimization problem is NP hard. We propose an iterative algorithm to solve this problem using coordinate descent method.

The introduced technique detects the symbol rate from a continuous range of symbol rates, i.e. it does not assume a finite set of candidate symbol rates. The method does not require any knowledge about system parameters and is therefore totally blind. The method belongs to the family of autocorrelation-based symbol rate estimators, yet, unlike many such schemes, its performance is insensitive to the value of the roll-off factor. We then propose a simple method for frequency offset compensation also based on the autocorrelation function. The proposed estimator is implemented as part of a complete DVB-C [1] receiver and is verified using simulations and results in robust performance even at low SNR and high frequency offsets.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"4750-4755"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85079427","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 this end, we apply the error decomposition property which allows us to separate the problem into two phases.

We propose an optimal power allocation scheme between users and find that in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, the user power should be allocated inversely proportional to the channel gains. Moreover, the bidirectional streams of the PNC-TWR enjoy full diversity gain. The analysis of the equal time fraction case and the numerical results of the flexible time fraction case both imply that the PNC relaying performs better than the decode-and-forward based TWR (DF-TWR) if the channel gains are similar, while the DF relaying performs better if the channel gains are quite different.","PeriodicalId":6368,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)","volume":"95 1","pages":"5919-5923"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85727199","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}
