Berkley Media Access Control (B-MAC) protocol is one of the well-known MAC protocols, which uses adaptive preamble sampling scheme and is designed for wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this paper, we are reviewed about security vulnerability in B-MAC, and analyzed the power which is consumed at each stage of B-MAC protocol according to vulnerability of denial of sleep(DoS) and replay problem. From our analytical results, it can be considered the need of power efficient authentication scheme which provides the reliability, efficiency, and security for a general B-MAC communication. This is the case study of possible DoS vulnerability and its power consumption in B-MAC.

In this paper a communication system using direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) technique is constructed to transmit burst format data over power line channel with impulsive noise and narrowband interferences. Fast code synchronization is acquired by digital matched filter and data decision is accomplished by sampling pulses. In order to examine the performance of the power line communication system, but error rate and packet loss rate are measured over the simulation channel with various noise sources. When the packet composed of 1-bit preamble and 63-bit data is transmitted under very high burst impulsive noise, the bit error rate is about 10$^3$-10$^4$ and the packet loss rate is below 0.07.

We present a structure and design method of the D8PSK modem compatible with the VDL mode-2 standard and performance test results of the developed modem. In VDL mode-2, the raised cosine filter is used only in the transmitter and a general low pass filter is used in the receiver. Consequently, we can not achieve ISI reduction but can have better spectrum characteristics. Although there is 1~2 dB performance degradation with an un-matched filter compared to that with a matched filter, it is more important to minimize adjacent channel interference in narrow band communications. The transmit signal is generated digitally to avoid the problems(I/Q imbalance and DC offset etc.) of analog modulators. In addition the digital down converter using digital IF sampling technique is adopted for the receiver. This paper contains the overall configuration, design method and simulation results based in part on the previously proposed structures and algorithms. It is confirmed that the modem transmits and receives messages successfully at a speed of max. 870 km/h over ranges of up to 310 km through the ground and in-flight communication tests.
