Augmenting security and Energy-efficiency by a new Authentication Protocol for Wireless sensor networks

Farzad Nejati (Ferdowsi, IR)Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are typicallydeployedinanunattendedenvironment,wherethelegitimateusers can login to the network and access data as and whendemanded. Efficiency of WSN depends on the correctnessof the information which has been collected. Consequently,verifying authenticity and integrity of delivered data isindispensable for security-sensitive WSNs. At the sametime, security is most important to prevent outsiders (i.e.illegitimate party) from retrieving the correct information.Unfortunately,conventionalsecurityapproachesareunsuitableforWSNbecauseenergyefficiency isreallynotan importantissue.However,energyconservationistrulyacriticalissueinWSN. This paper proposes a user authentication mechanismto countermeasure theoutside attacks.The salient featureoftheproposedtechniqueisthatitestablishessharedvaluesandtransmitsacluemessageduringasingleauthenticationprocesswithout using the public key cryptography.

statistical features-Ann recognizer for Bivariate Process mean shift Pattern recognition

Ibrahim Masood (Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, MY), Adnan Hassan (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, MY)Abstract: Artificialneuralnetwork(ANN)-basedrecognizershave been developed for monitoring and diagnosis bivariateprocess mean shift in multivariate statistical process control(MSPC). They have better average run lengths (ARLs)performance in monitoring process mean shifts and gave anuseful diagnosis information compared to the traditionalMSPC schemes such as T2, multivariate cumulative sum(MCUSUM)andmultivariateexponentiallyweightedmovingaverage (MEWMA). The existing recognizers are raw data-based, whereby raw data input representation were appliedinto ANN. This approach required in a large network size,more computational effort and training time consuming. In

this paper, the statistical features input representation wasinvestigated, whereby the raw data were transformed intoexponentiallyweightedmovingaverage,multiplicationofmeanwithstandarddeviationandmultiplicationofmeanwithmean-squarevalue.Thestatisticalfeatures-ANNrecognizerresultedin smaller network size, fast training time, better ARLs formonitoring process mean shifts and comparable recognitionaccuracyfordiagnosingthesourcevariable(s)comparedtotherawdata-ANNrecognizer.

This is the same principle utilized also in a well-boreholelogging.Measurementsoftheconductivityofarock,basedonatransmitterandreceiverbuiltintoasmallinstrumentloweredintoadrillhole,candeterminewhetherthereservoircontainswaterorhydrocarbons.Itissoaccuratethatthevaluesobtainedcanbeusedtoestimatethehydrocarbonsaturationpercentage in the reservoir. These electrical conductivitymeasurementscanprovideadistributionofresistivity(similarto the vertical profile in Fig. 1) along the seabed depth [1].AccordingtoBaanandJutten[2],artificialneuralnet-workshavebeenappliedsuccessfullytoavarietygeophysicalproblems.Inthisdomain,neuralnetworkshavebeenusedforwaveformrecognition and first-break picking; for electromagnetic,magnetotelluric,andseismicinversionpurposes;forshear-wavesplitting,well-loganalysis,traceediting,seismicdeconvolution,andeventclassification;andformanyotherproblems.Inthisresearch, a radial basis function (RBF), which is a class ofneuralnetworksthathascapabilitiestointerpolateitsinputsortoapproximateafunctionbetweenitsinputsandoutputs,willbedesignedandtrainedtopredictadistributionofresistivityalongtheseabeddepthifgiventhemeasureddata.Toachievethis purpose, the RBF must be trained first with enoughnumberofmodelanddatapairs.Themodelcanbeconstructedfromseveral simple formofdistributions,while thedatacanbesynthesizedbyusingforwardmodeling,likeintheprevious

Kedir Mohammed (Universiti Technologi PETRONAS, MY), Brahim Belhaouri Samir (Universiti Technologi PETRONAS, MY), Noohul Basheer Zain Ali (Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, MY)Abstract: In ad hoc networks, broadcasting is a commonand effective data dissemination mechanism to resolve manydatacommunicationandnetworking issues.Routediscovery,address resolution, and locating specific services of interestwithin the network are common application areas wherebroadcastingisused.Inmobileadhocnetworks(MANETs),wherethemobilityofnodesdynamicallychangesthenetworktopology, broadcasting plays a major role in disseminatingcontrol data packets throughout the network. However,straightforward broadcasting is a high resource demandingand less controllable process. Moreover, it results a problemcalledBroadcastStorm,whichisaconsequenceofredundancy,contention,andcollision.InthispaperaBiasedRandomWalkbased route discovery method is proposed to alleviate theaforementionedproblem.Intheproposedscheme,therandomwalker ismadetobias inthedirectionof thenetworkwherethere are more nodes.

A novel Pilot-based frequency offset Compensation method in mImo-ofDm systems

Elnaz Ershadi (Islamic Azad university Science & Research branch, IR), Hamid Reza Bakhshi (shahed university, IR)Abstract: MIMO-OFDM is the promising technique in thefutureofwirelesscommunicationsasitcombinesthepropertiesofMultipleInputMultipleOutput(MIMO)systemswiththoseof Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).However, it isverysensitive to frequencyoffsetswhichresultin inter-carrier interference (ICI). Therefore, to preciselyrecover the transmitted data, frequency offset compensationis necessary in MIMO-OFDM receivers. This paper mainlyfocuses on frequency offset estimation and compensationproblem. We use channel coefficients to accurately followall the frequencyoffsets. Inourproposed receiver the initialestimation is doneusing a polynomial curve fittingmethod.To improve system performance, an iterative algorithm, i.e.a feedback from the output to the input, is applied. In thisway,everysinglesubcarrier infrequencydomainisseparatelycompensated for all the frequency offsets that it experienceswhilepassing through the fadingchannel.Simulation resultsclearlyshowthatourproposedmethodpreciselyrecoversthetransmitteddatasymbolsinmultipathfadingchannels.
