This paper is to design a throughput fairness-aware resource allocation scheme for a cognitive backscatter network (CBN), where multiple backscatter devices (BDs) take turns to modulate information on the primary signals and backscatter the modulated signals to a cooperative receiver, while harvesting energy to sustain their operations. The nonline...

As the important transmission approach of the perception data, the security and privacy of the perception layer nodes have been paid more and more attention. To evaluate the credibility of the perception nodes and protect autologous identity privacy, a remote attestation mechanism using group signature (GS-RAM) for the perception layer of centraliz...

Link adaptation (LA) is the ability to adapt the modulation scheme (MS) and the coding rate of the error correction in accordance with the quality of the radio link. The MS plays an important role in enhancing the performance of LTE/LTE-A, which is typically dependent on the received signal to noise ratio (SNR). However, using the SNR to select the...

A critical requirement in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is its ability to automatically discover existing services as well as their locations. Several solutions have been proposed in various communication domains which could be classified into two categories: (1) directory based, and (2) directory-less. The former is efficient but suffers from th...
