Moby: A Blackout-Resistant Anonymity Network for Mobile Devices

Bryan Alexander Ford, Antoine Rault, Amogh Pradeep, Hira Javaid

Internet blackouts are challenging environments for anonymity and censorship resistance. Existing popular anonymity networks (e.g., Freenet, I2P, Tor) rely on Internet connectivity to function, making them impracticable during such blackouts. In such a set ...

Increasing Cellular Network Energy Efficiency for Railway Corridors

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Modern trains act as Faraday cages making it challenging to provide high cellular data capacities to passengers. A solution is the deployment of linear cells along railway tracks, forming a cellular corridor. To provide a sufficiently high data capacity, m ...

Fixed-wing drones for communication networks

Maja Varga

In the last decade, drones became frequently used to provide eye-in-the-sky overview in the outdoor environment. Their main advantage compared to the other types of robots is that they can fly above obstacles and rough terrains and they can quickly cover l ...

Method of real-time regulation compliance for wireless transmitters

Pierre-André Farine, Alexis Boegli, Mitko Tanevski

All wireless devices must comply with the local radio regulations which are set by international and national regulatory bodies such as the European Telecommunication Standardization Institute (ETSI) for Europe and the Federal Commission for Communication ...

A Distributed Intelligent Sensing Approach for Environmental Monitoring Applications

William Christopher Evans

Scientific reports from around the world present us with the undeniable fact that the global ecosystem is undergoing severe change. As this shift accelerates, it is ever more critical that we are able to quantify the local effects of such changes, and furt ...

Formal Analysis of Secure Neighbor Discovery in Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski

We develop a formal framework for the analysis of security protocols in wireless networks. The framework captures characteristics necessary to reason about neighbor discovery protocols, such as the neighbor relation, device location, and message propagatio ...

On Secure and Precise IR-UWB Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

To provide high ranging precision in multipath environments, a ranging protocol should find the first arriving path, rather than the strongest path. We demonstrate a new attack vector that disrupts such precise Time-of-Arrival (ToA) estimation, and allows ...

Secure Neighbor Discovery and Ranging in Wireless Networks

Marcin Poturalski

This thesis addresses the security of two fundamental elements of wireless networking: neighbor discovery and ranging. Neighbor discovery consists in discovering devices available for direct communication or in physical proximity. Ranging, or distance boun ...

Understanding and Tackling the Root Causes of Instability in Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz, David Starobinski

We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that imp ...

Modeling and Simulating ITS Applications with iTETRIS

Jérôme Härri

This work presents the modeling methodology of the iTETRIS platform to integrate and simulate ITS applications. iTETRIS is a modular and open-source simulation platform composed of four key modules: the network simulator ns-3, the traffic simulator SUMO, a ...

On the Age of Pseudonyms in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger

In many envisioned mobile ad hoc networks, nodes are expected to periodically beacon to advertise their presence. In this way, they can receive messages addressed to them or participate in routing operations. Yet, these beacons leak information about the n ...

Elucidating the Instability of Random Access Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz, David Starobinski

We investigate both theoretically and experimentally the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that impac ...

Impact of Denial of Service Attacks on Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Imad Aad

Significant progress has been made towards making ad hoc networks secure and DoS resilient. However, little attention has been focused on quantifying DoS resilience: Do ad hoc networks have sufficiently redundant paths and counter-DoS mechanisms to make Do ...
