Potential and methods of wireless communications for Internet of things based on UAV by Qingheng SONG, Fuchun ZHENG

“…In the absence of terrestrial infrastructure for Internet of things (IoT),an effective low-cost wireless connection can be provided by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based wireless communication platform.Compared with the terrestrial IoT communication platform,the low-altitude UAV wireless communication system enjoys the advantage of rapid deployment,low cost,on-demand deployment,flexible configuration and better communication channel quality due to short-range line-of-sight links.On the other hand,several new challenges must be overcome due to the high mobility and energy consumption limitations of UAV.An overview of UAV enabled IoT wireless communication was provided,including the air-to-ground channel model,the power consumption model,as well as the applications in UAV based data dissemination/collection and relay,with particular reference to the new opportunities and solutions in these application areas.…”

Blockchain-based ARP defense scheme by Fanming LIU, Wei SHI

“…In order to improve the difficulty of maintaining the static binding method when defending against ARP attacks,a defense method was designed with the features of low cost of defense and easy maintenance by using the idea of a blockchain technology.The blockchain structure had been improved,and the transaction index table structure had been designed to identify attacks and update data in a timely manner to prevent subsequent attacks.The content of the transaction index table was updated after the IP address was changed normally to ensure the correctness of the query.Analysis and experiments show that the blockchain-based defense method has the following merits:high security,guaranteeing the data is not tampered with,low cost of maintenance,and effective prevention against ARP spoofing attacks.…”

MIMO OTA performance testing of vehicles by Lei LI, Guiming WEI, Guokai JIANG, Jiaxu FENG, Xiang WU

“…Intelligent traffic system is one of promising technologies for traffic industry.Based on communication among cars, pedestrian, traffic infrastructure and cellular networks, it’s able to significantly promote on road safety and efficiency by making proper traffic instructions.How to precisely evaluate the communication performance of a whole vehicle become a hot-topic in the field.Unfortunately, there is still no solution about the setup and procedures for the OTA testing.A low-cost solution was proposed by reconstructing channel models and optimizing the existing testing system framework that referred to as multi-probe anechoic chamber.The proposed method was able to multiple the test area with limited channel emulator RF channels by introducing a low-cost digital converter.Numerical simulations indicate that the proposed method has the ability to reproduce spatial and temporal correlation features of the target channel model, which is coherent with related standards’ requirements.…”

Comparison of MIMO based on high capacity LPWAN technology TurMass^TM and LoRa by Hao JIANG, Hongming CHEN, Yilong CAO, Haoyang CUI

“…With the rapid development of low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies, more and more IoT terminals need to access the network.In order to deal with the challenge of massive random access, grant-free random access with massive MIMO (MGFRA) was proposed for LPWAN scenarios.The MGFRA was introduced and the performance of MGFRA to validate its performance advantage of greatly improving the channel access capacity with extreme low signaling overhead was theoretically analyzed.Further, TurMass^TMwas introduced, which is a high-capacity LPWAN technology based on MGFRA.To demonstrate the advantages of TurMass^TMin practical applications, TurMass^TMand LoRa in signal coverage, communication rate, network capacity, low power consumption and low cost in typical LPWAN communication scenarios were compared.The comparison results show that TurMass^TMhas outstanding advantages in signal coverage, communication rate, network capacity, low power consumption and low cost compared with LoRa.…”
