Universally composable secure trusted access protocol for WLAN Mesh networks by MA Zhuo1, MA Jian-feng1, ZENG Yong1, SHEN Yu-long1

“…The current access protocols of WLAN Mesh network and trusted network could not satisfy the requirements of performance and security when the trusted access is needed in WLAN Mesh networks.Then,a provably secure trusted access protocol MN-TAP for the WLAN Mesh networks was proposed.Such protocol will achieve authentication and key confirmation among the access requestor,policy enforcement point and policy decision point.At the same time,the protocol could realize the platform authentication and platform integrity verification in the first round of protocol interaction,which would improve the efficiency of the protocol and decrease the overhead of the servers.A provably secure model was used,named universally composable secure model,to analyze the security of the protocol.And the performance of the protocol was analyed.The results show that: the protocol is a UC-secure protocol,and the performance has great advantages over the current protocols.…”

Receiver scheme of rake equalization for 60GHz pulse communication system by Xian CHEN, Xuehua LI

“…Dispersion of the signal energy and the inter symbol interference（ISI）is caused by the multipath fading in 60GHz pulse communication environment.To solve this problem,the severity of the ISI in the system was analyzed,and the method to eliminate interference was studied.Based on the 60GHz wireless channel model established by IEEE 802.15.3c,the simulation platform of 60GHz pulse communication system was built.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of ISI in the system were carried out,and a receiver scheme of combining Rake receiver and equalizer was designed.Results show that,the two taps MRC-Rake receiver module combined with MMSE linear equalization module can not only improve the signal energy by multipath diversity,but also eliminate ISI.The performance of the system was improved without increasing the complexity.The scheme provides a reference for the design of 60GHz pulse communication system in the future.…”
