Security And Data Reliability In Cooperative Wireless Networks - 9780367571849

Broadcast nature is one of the main characteristics of the wireless medium with a double-edged arm; the first is beneficial while the other is harmful. The beneficial side allows the application of what is called cooperative communications in wireless systems. On the other hand, the harmful side of the wireless medium broadcast nature lies in its negative effect on the system security. Security and Data Reliability in Cooperative Wireless Networks provides new solutions for these problems. Its main objective is to enhance the security and data reliability in cooperative wireless networks. A major attraction of the book is the presentation of MATLAB® simulations and the inclusion of MATLAB codes to help readers understand the topic under discussion and to be able to carry out extensive simulations. In ten chapters, Security and Data Reliability in Cooperative Wireless Networks broadly covers two important areas, 1. Security in cooperative wireless networks, 2. Security and data reliability in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Part 1 provides a detailed overview of both cooperative communications and the physical layer security, the two main topics on the innovative approach that exploits wireless medium broadcast nature to achieve multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) gains in a distributed manner in order to be suitable for application in small wireless devices. Different cooperative protocols concerned with the processing of the signal received from the source node at the relay node are discussed. Furthermore, different relay selection metrics concerned with selecting the best relay among the available N relays with an indication to the entity which evaluates these metrics and selects the relay are also given. Finally, we end this point by presenting cooperative communication applications and the pros and cons. The second part of Security and Data Reliability in Cooperative Wireless Networks focuses on data security and reliability in unattended wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) in the presence of a mobile adversary. In this part, we explore the different challenges of UWSNs, such as compromising probability, probability of backward secrecy (BSe) to be compromised, and data reliability. During this part, several self-healing algorithms are developed to provide data security and reliability in UWSNs. In the second part of this book, we cover the following points: Overview of WSNs followed by an overview of UWSNs. A proposal called the cooperative hybrid self-healing randomized distributed (CHSFRD) scheme is introduced to provide self-healing in UWSNs. A proposal called self-healing controlled mobility within a cluster (SH-CMC) scheme is developed for self-healing enhancement in UWSNs, in which the clustering and mobility of some sensors were used beside the hybrid cooperation. A proposal called self-healing single flow cluster controlled mobility (SH-SFOCM) scheme is introduced for self-healing enhancement considering energy consumption due to mobility. Security and Data Reliability in Cooperative Wireless Networks is for researchers, engineers, undergraduate and graduate students, and anyone interested in enhancing the security and data reliability in cooperative wireless networks.
