Design of Energy Efficient and Dependable Health Monitoring Systems under Unreliable Nanometer Technologies

David Atienza Alonso, Andreas Peter Burg, Georgios Karakonstantis, Mohamed Mostafa Sabry Aly

In this paper we investigate the impact of potential hardware misbehavior induced by reliability issues and scaled voltages in wireless body sensor network (WBSN) nodes. Our study reveals the inherent resilience of popular algorithms in cardiac monitoring ...

3-D monolithic integration (3DMI), also termed as sequential integration, is a potential technology for future gigascale circuits. Since the device layers are processed in sequential order, the size of the vertical contacts is similar to traditional contac ...

Effectiveness of Distance-Decreasing Attacks Against Impulse Radio Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

We expose the vulnerability of an emerging wireless ranging technology, impulse radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB), to distance-decreasing attacks on the physical communication layer (PHY). These attacks violate the security of secure ranging protocols that al ...

Concurrent Transmissions in IR-UWB Networks: an Experimental Validation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Catherine Dehollain, Ruben Merz, Edmund James Colli-Vignarelli

We demonstrate and validate that concurrent and parallel transmissions are feasible for low data-rate impulse-radio ultrawide band (IR-UWB) physical layers. The optimal organization for a low data-rate IR-UWB network is to allow for concurrent transmission ...

Maximizing the Delivery of MPR Broadcasting under Realistic Physical Layer Assumptions

François Ingelrest

It is now commonly accepted that the unit disk graph used to model the physical layer in wireless networks does not reflect real radio transmissions, and that a more realistic model should be considered for experimental simulations. Previous work on realis ...

The Internet of Things, emerging pervasive and sensor networks are low data-rate wireless networks with, a priori, no specific topology and no fixed infrastructure. Their primary requirements are twofold: First, low power consumption and, due to environmen ...

We consider a wide-band ad-hoc network with coherent radios in a slow-fading environment, and we analyze the performance of different physical layer (PHY) and medium access (MAC) schemes in such a network. Most of the existing analysis assume that PHY is b ...

Wireless sensor networks are ideally built on low-cost, low-complexity nodes that have a low power consumption to guarantee a long network lifetime. These are all properties that can potentially be achieved with impulse radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB). In a ...
