A Distributed Cyber-Attack Detection Scheme With Application to DC Microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Mustafa Sahin Turan

DC microgrids often present a hierarchical control architecture, requiring integration of communication layers. This leads to the possibility of malicious attackers disrupting the overall system. Motivated by this application, in this article, we present a ...

Incremental Syllable-Context Phonetic Vocoding

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current very low bit rate speech coders are, due to complexity limitations, designed to work off-line. This paper investigates incremental speech coding that operates real-time and incrementally (i.e., encoded speech depends only on already-uttered speech ...

A novel low complexity data demodulation algorithm for pulse position modulation

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron

In this paper, a low complexity data demodulation algorithm is proposed that requires time of arrival information of the received signal exclusively. As an application example, the algorithm is applied to an ultra-wideband impulse radio communication syste ...

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 ...

Effectiveness of Distance-Decreasing Attacks Against Impulse Radio Ranging

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

We expose the vulnerability of an emerging wireless ranging technology, impulse radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB), to distance-decreasing attacks on the physical communication layer (PHY). These attacks violate the security of secure ranging protocols that al ...

Interference Robustness and Security of Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wide Band Networks

Manuel Flury

In this thesis we study Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wide Band (IR-UWB), a physical layer radio technology offering many features that make it a promising choice for future short-range wireless networks. The challenges in such networks are many, ranging from the co ...

A Simulation Model for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on TOSSIM

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Alexandru Emilian Susu

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of a large number of very small devices used for biomedical or environmental monitoring applications. These devices measure various natural processes at different locations, and cooperate in order to aggregate t ...
