Moby: A Blackout-Resistant Anonymity Network for Mobile Devices

Internet blackouts are challenging environments for anonymity and censorship resistance. Existing popular anonymity networks (e.g., Freenet, I2P, Tor) rely on Internet connectivity to function, making them impracticable during such blackouts. In such a set ...

Increasing Cellular Network Energy Efficiency for Railway Corridors

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Modern trains act as Faraday cages making it challenging to provide high cellular data capacities to passengers. A solution is the deployment of linear cells along railway tracks, forming a cellular corridor. To provide a sufficiently high data capacity, m ...

Dynamic Routing for Flying Ad Hoc Networks

Dario Floreano, Bixio Rimoldi, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Stefano Rosati, Karol Jacek Kruzelecki

This paper reports experimental results on self-organizing wireless networks carried by small flying robots. Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) composed of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are flexible, inexpensive and fast to deploy. This makes them a v ...

Fixed-wing drones for communication networks

Maja Varga

In the last decade, drones became frequently used to provide eye-in-the-sky overview in the outdoor environment. Their main advantage compared to the other types of robots is that they can fly above obstacles and rough terrains and they can quickly cover l ...

Method of real-time regulation compliance for wireless transmitters

Pierre-André Farine, Alexis Boegli, Mitko Tanevski

All wireless devices must comply with the local radio regulations which are set by international and national regulatory bodies such as the European Telecommunication Standardization Institute (ETSI) for Europe and the Federal Commission for Communication ...

A Distributed Intelligent Sensing Approach for Environmental Monitoring Applications

William Christopher Evans

Scientific reports from around the world present us with the undeniable fact that the global ecosystem is undergoing severe change. As this shift accelerates, it is ever more critical that we are able to quantify the local effects of such changes, and furt ...

Formal Analysis of Secure Neighbor Discovery in Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski

We develop a formal framework for the analysis of security protocols in wireless networks. The framework captures characteristics necessary to reason about neighbor discovery protocols, such as the neighbor relation, device location, and message propagatio ...

On Secure and Precise IR-UWB Ranging

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

To provide high ranging precision in multipath environments, a ranging protocol should find the first arriving path, rather than the strongest path. We demonstrate a new attack vector that disrupts such precise Time-of-Arrival (ToA) estimation, and allows ...

Secure Neighbor Discovery and Ranging in Wireless Networks

Marcin Poturalski

This thesis addresses the security of two fundamental elements of wireless networking: neighbor discovery and ranging. Neighbor discovery consists in discovering devices available for direct communication or in physical proximity. Ranging, or distance boun ...

Robust ultra low power wireless sensor platform with embedded over-molded antenna

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Pierre-André Farine, Francesco Merli, Alexis Boegli, Mitko Tanevski

In this paper a new wireless sensor node intended for use in ultra-low power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is presented. The node uses commercial of-the-shelf radio, microcontroller and a custom developed antenna embedded in the housing. Over-molding with ...

Understanding and Tackling the Root Causes of Instability in Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz

We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that imp ...

Modeling and Simulating ITS Applications with iTETRIS

Jérôme Härri

This work presents the modeling methodology of the iTETRIS platform to integrate and simulate ITS applications. iTETRIS is a modular and open-source simulation platform composed of four key modules: the network simulator ns-3, the traffic simulator SUMO, a ...

On the Age of Pseudonyms in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger

In many envisioned mobile ad hoc networks, nodes are expected to periodically beacon to advertise their presence. In this way, they can receive messages addressed to them or participate in routing operations. Yet, these beacons leak information about the n ...

Elucidating the Instability of Random Access Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz

We investigate both theoretically and experimentally the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that impac ...

Impact of Denial of Service Attacks on Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Imad Aad

Significant progress has been made towards making ad hoc networks secure and DoS resilient. However, little attention has been focused on quantifying DoS resilience: Do ad hoc networks have sufficiently redundant paths and counter-DoS mechanisms to make Do ...

An Architecture for Wireless Simulation in NS-2 Applied to Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wide Band Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Jörg Widmer

We present an architecture for implementing a wireless physical layer in a packet-based network simulator. We integrate this architecture in the popular ns-2 network simulator and use it to implement an impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) physical layer ...

An 11-Mb/s 2.1-mW Synchronous Superregenerative Receiver at 2.4 GHz

Catherine Dehollain, Michel Declercq

This paper presents a low-voltage low-power high-speed superregenerative receiver operating in the 2.4-GHz industrial-scientific-medical band. The receiver uses an architecture in which, thanks to the presence of a phase-locked loop, the quench oscillator ...

Anypath routing

Henri Julien Dubois-Ferrière

In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. A well-known instance is with unreliable wireless links, where the probability that at least one node out ofnreceives a packet increas ...
