With the rapid increase in the number of mobile terminals, demand for wireless technologies has sharply increased these days. While wireless communication provides advantages such as ease of deployment, mobility of terminals, continuity of session, and almost comparable transmission bandwidth to the wired communication, it has vulnerability to malicious radio attacks such as eavesdropping, denial of service, session hijacking, and jamming. Among a variety of methods of preventing wireless attacks, the MTD(Moving Target Defense) is the technique for improving the security capability of the defense system by constantly changing the ability of the system to be attacked. In this paper, in order to develop a resilient software defined radio communication testbed system, we present a novel MTD approach to change dynamically and randomly the radio parameters such as modulation scheme, operating frequency, packet size. The probability of successful attack on the developed MTD-based SDR communication system has been analysed in a mathematical way and verified through simulation.

In this paper, we propose a timing detector using suboptimal maximum likelihood method. The proposed method has an simple reference signal generator. Additionally, timing detector's gain of the proposed method is the same to Early-Late gate and ML method. We reveal that tracking range of time tracker is narrow because of using data-decision, that is, tracking range is ${\pm}0.06ns$ for the 4-order Gaussian monocycle with 0.7ns pulse width. Therefore we can find that searcher must have very accurate acquisition procedure. When estimating a performance of time tracker, we consider a jitter in transmitter and receiver's pulse generation process as well as background noise. By using computer simulation, we propose mean/variance of timing detector and tracking process. Also we consider a mobility in tracking process, i.e., timing error modeled ramp function. In order to propose a performance of time tracker, we consider only one correlation demodulator.

Blind equalization is a technique that equalizes the received signals without the training sequence. Because of the absence of training sequence, we can increase the bandwidth efficiency due to the blind equalization system. And we must use the blind equalization for removing the ISI in mobile satellite communication receiver. ISI occurs due to mobility of users in mobile satellite communications. Blind equalization is suitable for the mobile satellite communication channels. In this blind equalization, it's very important to improve BER performance to apply the mobile satellite communication system. In this paper, we propose the blind beamforming equalization system using the beamforming, MUSIC algorithm and coordinate change method. We were confirmed by the simulation that the proposed system improves the BER performance.

Recently, a lots of research proposals and results on mobile sensor network are actively announced. The most of such works are based on general-purposed network simulators such as ns-2, mathlab, etc. But, It is not easy to model and simulate the detail activities of each sensor node, data deliveries between them, and its cost such as power consumption and resource utilization, so that the simulation results of those simulators show the limited aspects of overall networks features or performance metrics. In this paper proposed, power consumption of each node, performance, mobility, and location information in operation-level of the network that can simulate a wireless sensor network simulator platform. Because the network routing algorithm analysis of being developed in an existing becomes available, the proposed simulator can usability in the new network routing algorithm development.

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), standardized as IEEE 802.15.6, enable digital devices on/around the human body to communicate with one another. WBAN is essentially a person's piconet consisting of a master (mobile) device and several slave devices, which follows his/her mobility pattern, and hence, occasionally collides with another piconet as people meet or pass by. As such, a mechanism to detect collision and avoid interference is needed for intra-piconet communications. In this paper, we focus on this notorious problem of piconet collision and propose Distributed Time Division Piconet Coexistence (DTDPC) using local time offset exchange as a simple, attractive solution. The proposed DTDPC provides different level of services for various applications. Besides our simulation results have shown that the proposed solution outperforms the conventional CSMA protocols.

It has been grown interests of the convergence technologies about communication systems and vehicular industry. Vehicular communications enable a number of infotainment applications to serve cars under high mobility environments. To achieve this goal, a robust and accurate channel estimation scheme is of great importance. This paper proposes an enhanced Decision-Directed channel estimation scheme called PTAU(Pilot Tone Aided Update) for IEEE 802.11p in vehicular communication environment. Existing approaches which use subsequent data symbols to estimate channel response in time domain will lead to the error propagation. In this paper, we use the pilot subcarriers to get initial channel response, then utilize the correlation characteristics to update channel response in frequency domain. Finally, Analysis and simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme outperforms in bit error rate(BER), significantly improve the performance of the estimation.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are special network which has purpose of usage for gathering information of certain area and observing situation. WSNs consist of small nodes with sensing event such as temperature, movement or certain objects. The sensor has the capabilities to collect data and route data back to the sink. The sensors route data either to other sensors or back to a sink in one direction. That is, traditional WSNs communicate asymmetrically. However, under the new paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoTs) or Cyber Physical system (CPS), WSNs have potential to be used as important area. So, more research is necessary to communicate with each moving objects symmetrically in WSNs. In this paper, we proposed symmetric communication scheme among mobile objects in wireless sensor network. Simulation results show that our scheme is superior th the existing ones in terms of energy consumption and transmission success ratio.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive power control scheme employing a self-optimization concept in femtocell systems, in order to improve system capacity, thereby reducing call-drop probability. In the proposed scheme, each femto base station(FBS) controls individual channel's transmission power base on two parameters; the neighboring cell's transmission power for each individual channel which is delivered from a femto-gateway and the received power strength from neighboring cells which is periodically measured by means of a spectrum sensing. Adaptive adjustment of individual channel's transmission power in accordance with femto mobile station(FMS) mobility features can also reduce undesirable handovers and evenly distribute traffic load over all femtocells. In addition, the manipulative control of channel's transmission power is able to keep the system coverage and the call-drop probability within an acceptable range, regardless of density of femtocells. Computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes in terms of the system coverage and the call-drop probability.

Since a conventional multi-cell transmit diversity scheme depends on the feedback from the user for the channel gain information, its performance gets to severely degrade when the channel varies fast due to the high mobility of the user. Also, transmit power of the base station cannot be fully used in the conventional scheme because only one transmit antenna is used for data transmission. In this paper, we propose a multi-cell transmit diversity scheme appropriate for fast fading channel. In the proposed scheme, channel-independent precoding vector is applied over all transmit antennas and different precoding vectors are applied for neighboring subcarriers so that the received signal is avoided to experience deep fading over multiple neighboring subcarriers. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better detector output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER) performances than the conventional scheme.

RFID technology is applied to port logistics applications since it monitors objects wirelessly without line of sight and constructs ubiquitous system with low cost. Changes of stock status in the warehouse environment make the technology more important for managing such frequent storing and un-storing. Although the RFID has beneficial characteristics of low cost and low complexity, simultaneous responses of RFID tags cause tag identification collision due to absence of elaborate medium access control scheme. Several algorithms have been proposed to overcome the tag collision problem. However, it is difficult to adopt the methods to the logistics systems that has varying loads since there was no consideration on RFID tag's mobility. Therefore, we propose an efficient RFID tag anti-collision protocol, and simulation results demonstrate performance improvement by using the proposed scheme.
