Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will include a selection of papers covering topics related with wireless networks and mobile technologies. There will be specific emphasis on wireless and mobile technologies, mobile software and services, wireless optical communications, cyberphysical systems, and e-health monitoring.

Wireless networking represents the main network access of current Information Technologies systems, providing communication support for mobile devices. This Special Issue welcomes recent advances in wireless networks and mobile systems ranging from practical issues, including large-scale implementations, to the more abstract theoretical aspects of wireless communication. The main areas of this Special Issue include but are not limited to wireless and mobile technologies, mobile software and services, wireless optical communications, cyberphysical systems, and e-health monitoring. These concepts fundamentally change the paradigms used in traditional networking, information systems, and information technology. Many other topics are included in the scope of WINSYS. This Special Issue also welcomes scholars to publish the extended versions of their papers from the "18th International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems (WINSYS 2021)”.

In this paper, we analyze the physical layer security (PLS) of an arbitrarily dimensioned wireless sensor network (WSN) in the presence of an unauthorized attacker. Various scheduling schemes have been exploited in order to enhance the secure transmission of reliable links impaired by Fisher–Snedecor F fading. The path loss among active nodes is also considered. The exact intercept probability expressions are derived recalling an optimal scheduling scheme (OS), a scheduling policy based on a specific cumulative distribution function (CS), and round-robin scheduling as a baseline. The asymptotic behavior of the intercept metric is also presented in a simpler form with acceptable accuracy. The secrecy diversity orders are defined and the security–reliability tradeoff of WSN is specified. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the interplay of various main/wiretap channel conditions, the distances among nodes, the number of active sensors, and the average main-to-eavesdropper’s signal ratio in order to upgrade the quality of the WSN secrecy performance. Additionally, the impact of the outage probability on the intercept probability is defined for a variety of scenarios under which either the CS or OS scheme could be selected as suitable for PLS enhancement. The obtained results are verified by independent Monte Carlo simulations. Full article
