This work proposes a new distributed and self-organized authentication scheme for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Apart from describing all its components, special emphasis is placed on proving that the proposal fulfils most requirements derived from the special characteristics of MANETs, including limited physical protection of broadcast medium, frequent route changes caused by mobility, and lack of structured hierarchy. Interesting conclusions are obtained from an analysis of simulation experiments in different scenarios.

Wireless sensor networks collect and analyze sensing data in a variety of environments without human intervention. The sensor network changes its lifetime depending on routing protocols initially installed. In addition, it is difficult to modify the routing path during operating the network because sensors must consume a lot of energy resource. It is important to measure the network performance through simulation before building the sensor network into the real field. This paper proposes a WSN model for a low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol using DEVS kernel models. The proposed model is implemented with the sub models (i.e. broadcast model and controlled model) of the kernel model. Experimental results indicate that the broadcast model based WSN model showed lower CPU resource usage and higher message delivery than the broadcast model.

A broadcast authentication is important and fundamental consideration for security in wireless sensor networks. Perigg et al suggests ${\mu}-TESLA$ used a key chain. But it is unavoidable the delay of time to authenticate packets. so it is hard to meet the property that most application of sensor are performed in real-time. To cope with these problems we propose an efficient broadcast authentication scheme which has no delay of time and provides re-keying mechanism. we also describe an analysis of security and efficiency for this scheme.

Various air indexing and data scheduling schemes for wireless broadcast of spatial data have been developed for energy efficient query processing. The existing schemes are not effective when the clients' data access patterns are skewed to some items. It is because the schemes are based on flat broadcast that does not take the popularity of the data items into consideration. In this paper, thus, we propose a data scheduling scheme letting the popular items appear more frequently on the channel, and grid-based distributed index for non-flat broadcast (GDIN) for window query processing. The proposed GDIN allows quick and energy efficient processing of window query, matching the clients' linear channel access pattern and letting the clients access only the queried data items. The simulation results show that the proposed GDIN significantly outperforms the existing schemes in terms of access time, tuning time, and energy efficiency.

In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm that maximizes the network lifetime in wireless ad-hoc networks using the broadcast transmission method. The optimization algorithm proposed in this paper applies tabu search algorithm, a metaheuristic method that improves the local search method using the memory structure. The proposed tabu search algorithm proposes efficient encoding and neighborhood search method to the network lifetime maximization problem. By applying the proposed method to design efficient broadcast routing, we maximize the lifetime of the entire network. The proposed tabu search algorithm was evaluated in terms of the energy consumption of all nodes in the broadcast transmission occurring in the network, the time of the first lost node, and the algorithm execution time. From the performance evaluation results under various conditions, it was confirmed that the proposed tabu search algorithm was superior to the previously proposed metaheuristic algorithm.

In this paper, macro diversity coding methods are proposed to efficiently transmit broadcast packet data over mobile cellular networks based on OFDM. In the method, cells are divided into multiple cell groups which transmit one of two orthogonal branches in a transmit diversity code. Furthermore, a coded packet is partitioned into the subblocks for which different cell group combinations are assigned to transmit two different branches. The methods extend the cell coverage at the same transmit power due to the transmit diversity of each symbol and coding diversity obtained through different fading statistics over the subblocks.

In this paper we propose an efficient method to broadcast digital television signals using Single Frequency Networks (SFNs) in the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission systems. Since the proposed schemes to synchronize multiple transmitters minimize the changes from the conventional ATSC system, the hardware complexity for the changes is very low. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme makes less than 0.1 dB degradation at the threshold of visibility (TOV： BER= 3$\times$$10^{-6}$) in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It is possible to reduce the performance degradation by increasing an initialization period of the proposed scheme.

Unlike wired networks, broadcasting in wireless networks can transmit data to several nodes at a time in a single transmission. The omnidirectional broadcasting of node in wireless networks simultaneously reaches all neighboring nodes. In this paper, we propose a greedy algorithm to solve the minimum power broadcasting problem that minimizes the total transmission power when broadcasting in wireless networks. The proposed algorithm uses a neighborhood list which is a set of nodes that can transmit messages within the maximum transmission range of each node, and among the transmitting nodes that have received the data, the node having the largest number of the neighboring nodes firstly transmits the data to neighboring node. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated by computer simulation, and was compared with existing algorithms in terms of total transmission power and broadcasting frequency for broadcasting to all nodes. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional algorithms.

Most existing studies on broadcast services in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems have focused on how to allocate the transmission power to the subcarriers. However, because a broadcasting system must guarantee quality of service to all users, the performance of the broadcast service dominantly depends on the channel state of the user who has the lowest received signal-to-noise ratio among users. To reduce the effect of the worst user on the system performance, we propose a joint delivery scheme of unicast and broadcast transmissions in OFDM systems with broadcast and unicast best-effort users. In the proposed joint delivery scheme, the BS delivers the broadcast information using both the broadcast and unicast subcarriers at the same time in order to improve the performance of the broadcast service. The object of the proposed scheme is to minimize the outage probability of the broadcast service while maximizing the sum-rate of best-effort users. For the proposed joint delivery scheme, we develop an adaptive power and subcarrier allocation algorithm under the constraint of total transmission power. This paper shows that the optimal power allocation over each subcarrier in the proposed scheme has a multi-level water filling form. Because the power allocation and the subcarrier assignment problems should be jointly solved, we develop an iterative algorithm to find the optimal solution. Numerical results show that the proposed joint delivery scheme with adaptive power and subcarrier allocation outperforms the conventional scheme in terms of the outage probability of the broadcast service and the sum-rate of best-effort users.

A hierarchical identity-based broadcast encryption (H-IBBE) scheme is an identity-based broadcast encryption (IBBE) scheme in a hierarchical environment. In order to obtain secure H-IBBE schemes in the quantum era, we propose an H-IBBE scheme based on the learning with errors problemassumption.Our scheme achieves indistinguishability from random under adaptive chosen-plaintext and chosen-identity attacks in the random oracle model.
