resource management NOMA Unmanned Aerial Vehicle interference management clustering algorithms Throughput Relay networks

Our paper UAV-Assisted Cooperative & Cognitive NOMA: Deployment, Clustering, and Resource Allocation has been accepted for publication in Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking. We describe how the deployment of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be used as a relay that fairly serves many secondary users in a hot-spot region. The cooperative and cognitive non-orthogonal multiple access technologies are an inherent remedy to achieve high spectral efficiency at large-scale networks. Moreover, considering the expeditious 3D deployment capabilities of UAVs, their use as

Hardware Network wireless

Abstract We will discuss Integrated Circuit (IC) security and trust threats and corresponding countermeasures with a focus on wireless ICs. We will present solutions to protect RF transceiver ICs against piracy attempted by malicious System-on-Chip (SoC) integrators, foundries, or end-users via reverse-engineering. We will also present hardware Trojan attacks on RF transceivers aiming at creating a covert channel for stealing sensitive information, i.e., cypher keys. Brief Biography Haralampos-G.

wireless networks

Abstract The rampage of incessant cyber attacks have caused the disclosure of billions of users’ private data. In response, various data privacy laws and regulations have emerged, forcing the academia and industry to change their practice and bringing the demand for large-scale secure wireless networks to the spotlight. Such a demand, however, cannot be met by the state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques. To narrow the gap, recent years have seen rapid progress in physical layer security (PLS) solutions. In this talk, I will present our research on understanding and addressing the security
