Threats of eavesdropping and information leakages have increased sharply owing to advancements in wireless communication technology. In particular, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become vulnerable to sniffing or jamming attacks because broadcast co...
This paper studies the secure communication of a non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA) relaying system in the presence of an eavesdropper in which the NOMA communication between a source and two users is assisted by an energy-harvesting (EH) relay. T...
Eavesdropping attack is one of the most serious threats in industrial crowdsensing networks. In this paper, we propose a novel anti-eavesdropping scheme by introducing friendly jammers to an industrial crowdsensing network. In particular, we establis...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role in Cyber Physical Social Sensing (CPSS) systems. An eavesdropping attack is one of the most serious threats to WSNs since it is a prerequisite for other malicious attacks. In this paper, we propo...
In this paper, we model and investigate the random access (RA) performance of sensor nodes (SN) in a wireless sensor network (WSN). In the WSN, a central head sensor (HS) collects the information from distributed SNs, and jammers disturb the informat...
This paper presents a price-searching model in which a source node (Alice) seeks friendly jammers that prevent eavesdroppers (Eves) from snooping legitimate communications by generating interference or noise. Unlike existing models, the distributed j...
Existing counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) defensive mechanisms rely heavily on radio frequency (RF) jamming techniques that require a large amount of energy to operate. The effects of RF jamming result in undesirable consequences, such as the j...
This study examines the physical-layer security of an indoor visible light communication (VLC) system using spatial modulation (SM), which consists of several transmitters, an authorized receiver, and a passive adversary. The SM technique is applied...
The requirements of low latency, low cost, less energy consumption, high flexibility, high network capacity, and high data safety are crucial challenges for future Internet of Things (IoT) wireless networks. Motivated by these challenges, this study...
Spoofing, alongside jamming of the Global Navigation Satellite System signal, remains a significant hazard during general aviation or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle operations. As aircraft utilize various support systems for navigation, such as INS, an insu...
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have revolutionized modern communication by providing a user-friendly and cost-efficient solution for Internet access and network resources. However, the increasing popularity of WLANs has also led to a rise in se...
Pervasive deployment of autonomous vehicle all over the world is an undisputed trend in the future. Autonomous vehicle will inevitably play an essential role in decreasing traffic jams, reducing threats from driving while intoxicated (DWI), and assis...
Drastic growth in the amount of global food waste produced is observed every year, not only due to incessant population growth but also economic growth, lifestyle, and diet changes. As a result of their increasing health awareness, people are focusin...
In this paper, the security of two-way relay communications in the presence of a passive eavesdropper is investigated. Two users communicate via a relay that depends solely on energy harvesting to amplify and forward the received signals. Time switch...
There is an increasing interest in healthy and sustainable product characteristics. Consumers determine their dietary intake and frame production systems with their choices. However, little is known about the relationships between health and environm...
This work studies the stabilization of Pickering-like emulsions using dispersions of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) formed by chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (ALG), two polymers from natural resources, as the aqueous phase and soybean oil a...
An efficient and all-inclusive health management encompassing condition-based maintenance (CBM) environment plays a pivotal role in enhancing the useful life of mission-critical systems. Leveraging high fidelity digital modelling and simulation, scal...
The public decision-making process at the municipal level becomes extremely complicated for government managers when unpopular measures must be adopted. In this sense, citizen participation processes become a tool of undoubted added value that allows...
The sourcing of raw materials with low environmental impact, e.g., “upcycled” ingredients from short supply chains, has currently become necessary, and agri-food waste represents a very attractive hub to produce innovative cosmetic extrac...
Nowadays, innovation in food technologies is fundamental and consumers are increasingly aware and demanding. To create a final product that is more and more appealing, health and safety guidelines are pushing towards new challenges. It is precisely d...
The formation and stability of river ice covers in regulated waterways are critical for uninterrupted hydro-electric operations. This study investigates the modelling of ice cover development in the Beauharnois Canal along the St. Lawrence River with...
