Secure Transmission on the Two-Hop Relay Channel With Scaled Compute-and-Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

In this paper, we consider communication on a two-hop channel in which a source wants to send information reliably and securely to the destination via a relay. We consider both the untrusted relay case and the external eavesdropper case. In the untrusted r ...

Compact UWB antennas for Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BANs)

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Jovanche Trajkovikj

A major issue in Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BAN) is the reliability of the transmission in all conditions, thus in all locations and positions of the wearer. One way to achieve this is to design communication systems as independent as possible to the p ...
