An efficient authentication and key agreement scheme for secure smart grid communication services

The smart grid is a new and promising technology integrating new information and communication technologies to improve the distribution and consumption of electricity between energy suppliers and their end customers. However, this advanced solution is facing a serious security problem as regards the interception and falsification of power consumption data, hence generating falsified electricity consumption bills. This issue of security needs to be promptly and efficiently handled. Clearly, it is of paramount importance to have a security mechanism to avoid such losses. Our work focuses on this issue. It particularly concerns the development of a security mechanism to ensure a completely secure communication between energy suppliers and their consumers while preserving the privacy of end customers in terms of protection of their personal information including their identities. The experimental results underscore that our solution outperforms those of the literature in terms of computation cost and robustness against various types of attacks.

On the utility of MIMO multi-relay networks for modulation identification over spatially-correlated channels

The necessity to perfectly monitor the intercepted signals for spatially-correlated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, involves modulation identification algorithms. In this paper, we present an algorithm dedicated to the modulation identification for correlated MIMO relaying broadcast channels with direct link using multi-relay nodes. By modeling spatially-correlated MIMO channels as Kronecker-structured and the imperfect channel state information of both the source-to-destination and the relay-to-destination errors as independent complex Gaussian random variables, we firstly derive the ergodic capacity of the proposed transmission system. It turns out that the ergodic capacities improve with the number of relay nodes. Based on a pattern recognition approach using the higher order statistics features and the Bagging classifier, we show that the probability to distinguish among M-ary shift keying linear modulation types without any priori modulation information is enhanced compared to the decision tree (J48), the tree augmented naive Bayes, the naive Bayes using discretization and the multilayer perceptron classifiers. We also study the effect of increasing the number of relay nodes. Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithm using the cooperation of multi-relay nodes with the source node can avoid the performance deterioration in modulation identification caused by both spatial correlation and imperfect CSI.     

Radio communication via Near Vertical Incidence Skywave propagation: an overview

Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) propagation can be used for radio communication in a large area (200 km radius) without any intermediate man-made infrastructure. It is therefore especially suited for disaster relief communication, communication in developing regions and applications where independence of local infrastructure is desired, such as military applications. NVIS communication uses frequencies between approximately 3 and 10 MHz. A comprehensive overview of NVIS research is given, covering propagation, antennas, diversity, modulation and coding. Both the bigger picture and the important details are given, as well as the relation between them.     

Estimating Energy Conversion Efficiency of Thermoelectric Materials: Constant Property Versus Average Property Models

Maximum thermoelectric energy conversion efficiencies are calculated using the conventional “constant property” model and the recently proposed “cumulative/average property” model (Kim et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 112:8205, 2015) for 18 high-performance thermoelectric materials. We find that the constant property model generally predicts higher energy conversion efficiency for nearly all materials and temperature differences studied. Although significant deviations are observed in some cases, on average the constant property model predicts an efficiency that is a factor of 1.16 larger than that predicted by the average property model, with even lower deviations for temperature differences typical of energy harvesting applications. Based on our analysis, we conclude that the conventional dimensionless figure of merit ZT obtained from the constant property model, while not applicable for some materials with strongly temperature-dependent thermoelectric properties, remains a simple yet useful metric for initial evaluation and/or comparison of thermoelectric materials, provided the ZT at the average temperature of projected operation, not the peak ZT, is used.     

A self-duty-cycled 7.2–8.5 GHz IR-UWB receiver for low power and low data rate applications

A self-duty-cycled non-coherent impulse radio-ultra wideband receiver targeted at low-power and low-data-rate applications is presented. The receiver is implemented in a 130 nm CMOS technology and works in the 7.2–8.5 GHz UWB band, which covers the IEEE 802.15.4a and 802.15.6 mandatories high-band channels. The receiver architecture is based on a non-coherent RF front-end (high gain LNA and pulse detector) followed by a synchronizer block (clock and data recovery or CDR function and window generation block), which enables to shut down the power-hungry LNA between pulses to strongly reduce the receiver power consumption. The main functions of the receiver, i.e. the RF front-end and the CDR block, were measured stand-alone. A maximum gain of 40 dB at 7.2 GHz is measured for the LNA. The RF front-end achieves a very low turn-on time (<1 ns) and an average sensitivity of ?92 dBm for a 10^?3 BER at a 1 Mbps data rate. A root-mean-square (RMS) jitter of 7.9 ns is measured for the CDR for a power consumption of 54 µW. Simulation results of the fully integrated self-duty-cycled 7.2–8.5 GHz IR-UWB receiver (that includes the measured main functions) confirm the expected performances. The synchronizer block consumes only 125 µW and the power consumption of the whole receiver is 1.8 mW for a 3% power duty-cycle (on-window of 30 ns).     

Empirical Statistical Model for LTE Downlink Channel Occupancy

This paper develops an empirical statistical channel occupancy model for downlink long-term evolution (LTE) cellular systems. The model is based on statistical distributions mixtures for the holding times of the channels. Moreover, statistical distribution of the time when the channels are free is also considered. The data is obtained through an extensive measurement campaign performed in Stockholm, Sweden. Two types of mixtures are considered, namely, exponential and log-normal distributions to fit the measurement findings. The log-likelihood of both mixtures is used as a quantitative measure of the goodness of fit. Moreover, finding the optimal number of linearly combined distributions using the Akaike information criterion is investigated. The results show that good fitting can be obtained by using either exponential or log-normal distributions mixture. Even though, the fitting is done for a representative case with a tempo-spatial consideration, the model is yet applicable in general for LTE and other cellular systems in a wider sense.
