This paper presents a 220-GHz-band 7-m wireless link with a 45-Gbps transmission data rate by using 16 quadrature amplitude modulation(16-QAM).Super-heterodyne transceiver modules are developed for transmission and reception of the modulated signals,which consist of a Schottky barrier diodes(SBD)based sub-harmonic mixer(SHM),an InP HEMT low noise amplifier(LNA),a waveguide band-pass filter(BPF),and a 108-GHz local oscillator(LO)multiplier chain.The transmitter features a peak transmit power of 1.41 dBm,and the IF frequency varies from 5 GHz to 20 GHz.Besides,the receiver features a conversion gain of 9.3 dB in average and a noise temperature of 3052.8 K.The measured results indicate that the transceiver modules enable data transmission of a 45-Gbps 16-QAM signal with Signal-Noise-Ratio(SNR)from 11.59 dB to 15.36 dB in a 7-m line-of-sight channel.

In-situ manipulation of wireless link with reinforcement-learningdriven programmable metasurface in indoor environment

It is of great importance to control flexibly wireless links in the modern society,especially with the advent of the Internet of Things(IoT),fifth-generation communication(5G),and beyond.Recently,we have witnessed that programmable metasurface(PM)or reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)has become a key enabling technology for manipulating flexibly the wireless link;however,one fundamental but challenging issue is to online design the PM's control sequence in a complicated wireless environment,such as the real-world indoor environment.Here,we propose a reinforcement learning(RL)approach to online control of the PM and thus in-situ improve the quality of the underline wireless link.We designed an inexpensive one-bit PM working at around 2.442 GHz and developed associated RL algorithms,and demonstrated experimentally that it is capable of enhancing the quality of commodity wireless link by a factor of about 10 dB and beyond in multiple scenarios,even if the wireless transmitter is in the glancing angle of the PM in the realworld indoor environment.Moreover,we also prove that our RL algorithm can be extended to improve the wireless signals of receivers in dual-receiver scenario.We faithfully expect that the presented technique could hold important potentials in future wireless communication,smart homes,and many other fields.

A Comparison of Link Layer Attacks on Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many potential applications [1,2] and unique challenges. They usually consist of hundreds or thousands of small sensor nodes such as MICA2, which operate autonomously;conditions such as cost, invisible deployment and many application domains, lead to small size and resource limited sensors [3]. WSNs are susceptible to many types of link layer attacks [1] and most of traditional network security techniques are unusable on WSNs [3];This is due to wireless and shared nature of communication channel, untrusted transmissions, deployment in open environments, unattended nature and limited resources [1]. Therefore security is a vital requirement for these networks;but we have to design a proper security mechanism that attends to WSN’s constraints and requirements. In this paper, we focus on security of WSNs, divide it (the WSNs security) into four categories and will consider them, include: an overview of WSNs, security in WSNs, the threat model on WSNs, a wide variety of WSNs’ link layer attacks and a comparison of them. This work enables us to identify the purpose and capabilities of the attackers;furthermore, the goal and effects of the link layer attacks on WSNs are introduced. Also, this paper discusses known approaches of security detection and defensive mechanisms against the link layer attacks;this would enable IT security managers to manage the link layer attacks of WSNs more effectively.

Benchmarking the Robustness of Cellular Up-Links in Automatic Weather Station Networks

We present a problem for benchmarking the robustness of cellular up-links, in an automatic weather station (AWS) testbed. Based on the problem, we conduct a small-scale measurement study of robustness, where the AWS is equipped with four (4) cellular modems for weather data delivery. The effectiveness of up-links is challenging because of overlapping spatial-temporal factors such as the presence of good reflectors that lead to multi-path effects, interference, network load or other reasons. We argue that, there is a strong need for independent assessments of their robustness, to perform end-to-end network measurement. However, it is yet difficult to go from a particular measurement to an assessment of the entire network. We extensively measure the variability of Radio Signal Strength (RSSI) as link metric on the cellular modems. The RSSI is one of the important link metrics that can determine the robustness of received RF signals, and explore how they differed from one another at a particular location and instant time. We also apply the statistical analysis that quantifies the level of stability by considering the robustness, referring short-term variation, and determines good up-link in comparison to weak one. The results show that the robustness of cellular up-links exists for an unpredictable period of time and lower than one could hope. More than 50% of up-links are intermittent. Therefore, we plan to extend our work by exploring RSSI thresholds, to develop a classification scheme supporting a decision whether a link is either intermittent or not. This will help in normalizing the level of stability, to design the RSSI estimation metric for the robust routing protocol in weather data networks.
