Artificial intelligence and the introduction of Internet of Things technologies have benefited from technological advances and new automated computer system technologies. Eventually, it is now possible to integrate them into a single offline industrial system. This is accomplished through machine-to-machine communication, which eliminates the human factor. The purpose of this article is to examine security systems for machine-to-machine communication systems that rely on identification and authentication algorithms for real-time monitoring. The article investigates security methods for quickly resolving data processing issues by using the Security operations Center’s main machine to identify and authenticate devices from 19 different machines. The results indicate that when machines are running offline and performing various tasks, they can be exposed to data leaks and malware attacks by both the individual machine and the system as a whole. The study looks at the operation of 19 computers, 7 of which were subjected to data leakage and malware attacks. AnyLogic software is used to create visual representations of the results using wireless networks and algorithms based on previously processed methods. The W76S is used as a protective element within intelligent sensors due to its built-in memory protection. For 4 machines, the data leakage time with malware attacks was 70 s. For 10 machines, the duration was 150 s with 3 attacks. Machine 15 had the longest attack duration, lasting 190 s and involving 6 malware attacks, while machine 19 had the shortest attack duration, lasting 200 s and involving 7 malware attacks. The highest numbers indicated that attempting to hack a system increased the risk of damaging a device, potentially resulting in the entire system with connected devices failing. Thus, illegal attacks by attackers using malware may be identified over time, and data processing effects can be prevented by intelligent control. The results reveal that applying identification and authentication methods using a protocol increases cyber-physical system security while also allowing real-time monitoring of offline system security.

This study discusses an area-averaged incident power density to estimate surface temperature elevation from patch antenna arrays with 4 and 9 elements at the frequencies above 10 GHz. We computationally demonstrate that a smaller averaging area (1 cm2) of power density should be considered at the frequency of 30 GHz or higher compared with that at lower frequencies (4 cm2).

Novel multi-band mixers that can receive multiple band signals concurrently are proposed and evaluated. The mixers achieve independent gain control through novel relative power control method of the multiple local oscillator (LO) signals. Linear control is also achieved through multiple LO signal input with total LO power control. Theoretical analysis shows that odd-order nonlinearity components of the multiple LO signals support linear conversion gain control. Dual- and triple-band tests are conducted using typical three MOSFET mixers fabricated by a 0.25 µm SiGe BiCMOS process. Measurements confirm over 40 dB independent control of conversion gain, linear control achieved through LO input power control. The proposed mixers have high input linearity with a 5 dBm output third intercept point. A method is also proposed to reduce interference caused by mixing between multiple LO signals.

This paper presents wireless systems for use in disaster recovery operations. The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011 reinforced the importance of communications in, to, and between disaster areas as lifelines. It also revealed that conventional wireless systems used for disaster recovery need to be renovated to cope with technological changes and to provide their services with easier operations. To address this need we have developed new systems, which include a relay wireless system, subscriber wireless systems, business radio systems, and satellite communication systems. They will be chosen and used depending on the situations in disaster areas as well as on the required services.

In the recently developed Flexible Wireless System (FWS), the same platform needs to deal with different wireless systems. This increases nonlinear distortion in its wideband power amplifier (PA) because the PA needs to concurrently amplify multi-band signals. By taking higher harmonics as well as inter- and cross-modulation distortion into consideration, we have developed a method to analytically evaluate the adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACPR) and error vector magnitude (EVM) on the basis of the PA's nonlinear characteristics. We devise a novel method for modeling the PA amplifying dual-band signals. The method makes it possible to model it merely by performing a one-tone test, making use of the Volterra series expansion and the general Wiener model. We then use the Mehler formula to derive the closed-form expressions of the PA's output power spectral density (PSD), ACPR, and EVM. The derivations are based on the assumption that the transmitted signals are complex Gaussian distributed in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission systems. We validate the method by comparing measurement and simulation results and confirm it can appropriately predict the ACPR and EVM performance of the nonlinear PA output with OFDM inputs. In short, the method enables correct modeling of a wideband PA that amplifies dual-band signals merely by conducting a one-tone test.

We previously proposed a unified wireless system called “Flexible Wireless System”. Comprising of flexible access points and a flexible signal processing unit, it collectively receives a wideband spectrum that includes multiple signals from various wireless systems. In cases of simultaneous multiple signal reception, however, reception performance degrades due to the interference among multiple signals. To address this problem, we propose a new signal separation and reconstruction method for spectrally overlapped signals. The method analyzes spectral information obtained by the short-time Fourier transform to extract amplitude and phase values at each center frequency of overlapped signals at a flexible signal processing unit. Using these values enables signals from received radio wave data to be separated and reconstructed for simultaneous multi-system reception. In this paper, the BER performance of the proposed method is evaluated using computer simulations. Also, the performance of the interference suppression is evaluated by analyzing the probability density distribution of the amplitude of the overlapped interference on a symbol of the received signal. Simulation results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
In multi-cell wireless systems with insufficient frequency reuse, the downlink transmission suffers from other cell interference (OCI). The cooperative transmission among multiple base stations is an effective way to mitigate OCI and increase the system sum rate. An adaptive scheme for serving one user in each cell was proposed in [1]. In this paper, we generalize the scheme in [1] by serving more than one user in each cell with adaptive OCI cancelation. Based on our derived statistics of a user for different transmission strategies, we propose a low complexity transmission scheme that achieves near-maximal ergodic sum rate. Through numerical examples, we show that the system sum rate can be improved by selecting the appropriate transmission strategy combination adaptively. As a result, our proposed system can explore spatial multiplexing gain without additional power and thus improves the system sum rate significantly.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a quadrature voltage-controlled ring oscillator with the improved figure of merit (FOM) using the four single-ended inverter topology. Furthermore, a new architecture to prevent the latch-up in even number of stages composed of single-ended ring inverters is proposed. The design is implemented in 0.18 µm CMOS technology and the measurement results show a FOM of -163.8 dBc/Hz with the phase noise of -125.8 dBc/Hz at 4 MHz offset from the carrier frequency of 3.4 GHz. It exhibits a frequency tuning range from 1.23 GHz to 4.17 GHz with coarse and fine frequency tuning sensitivity of 1.08 MHz/mV and 120 kHz/mV, respectively.

In this paper, a new framework to characterize the tradeoff between diversity and multiplexing gains of Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) wireless systems at finite Signal to Noise Ratios (SNRs) is presented. By suitable definitions of non-asymptotic diversity and multiplexing gains, we extract a useful tool to investigate the performance of space-time schemes at finite SNRs. Exact results on the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) are derived for Multi Input Single Output (MISO), Single Input Multi Output (SIMO), and 22 MIMO channels. We show that our outcomes coincide with the Zheng and Tse's results at high SNRs. When the new definitions of non-asymptotic diversity and multiplexing gains are used, the resulted DMT converges to its asymptotic value at realistic SNRs. Furthermore, using these definitions enables the diversity gain to represent the outage probability with reasonable accuracy.

Recently, frequency-domain equalization (FDE) has been attracting much attention as a way to improve single-carrier (SC) signal transmission in a frequency-selective wireless channel. Since the SC signal spectrum is spread over the entire signal bandwidth, FDE can take advantage of channel frequency-selectivity and achieve the frequency diversity gain. SC with FDE is a promising wireless signal transmission technique. In this article, we review the pioneering research done on SC with FDE. The principles of simple one-tap FDE, channel estimation, and residual inter-symbol interference (ISI) cancellation are presented. Multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) is an important technique to improve the transmission performance. Some of the studies on MIMO/SC with FDE are introduced.

Single-carrier (SC) multiple access is a promising uplink multiple access technique because of its low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) property and high frequency diversity gain that is achievable through simple one-tap frequency-domain equalization (FDE) in a strong frequency-selective channel. The multiple access capability can be obtained by combining either frequency division multiple access (FDMA) or code division multiple access (CDMA) with SC transmission. In this article, we review the recent research on the SC multiple access techniques with one-tap FDE. After introducing the principle of joint FDE/antenna diversity combining, we review various SC multiple access techniques with one-tap FDE, i.e., SC-FDMA, SC-CDMA, block spread CDMA, and delay-time/CDMA.
Often, the major requisites of short-range communication systems are low power consumption and low cost, rather than high data-transmission speeds. This paper proposes low-cost and extremely low-power radio communication devices that use a basic one-chip microcomputer for short-range transmission and reception. In the proposed transmitter, a rectangular wave is generated at external I/O ports as carrier by the basic one-chip microcomputer and is then filtered and radiated by an antenna circuit. In the proposed receiver, the received signal is detected by a radio IC and is subsequently digitally processed by a microcomputer with a built-in A/D converter. The proposed transmitter and receiver are demonstrated, and the system performance is experimentally evaluated.
Over the past ten years, the demand for low-cost, low-power, and small form-factor portable wireless devices has led to the integration of RF transceivers on the same silicon as digital processors to form wireless systems-on-a-chip. This paper describes the challenges in designing CMOS systems-on-a-chip for wireless communications. RF transceiver building blocks for signal amplification, frequency translation, and frequency selectivity are examined with special emphasis on low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, mixers, and frequency synthesizers. System-on-a-chip integration issues such as leakage currents of digital logic, calibration techniques, and noise coupling are also discussed.

Diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract are becoming more prevalent. New techniques and devices, such as the wireless capsule endoscope and the telemetry capsule, that are able to measure the various signals of the digestive organs (temperature, pH, and pressure), have been developed for the observation of the digestive organs. In these capsule devices, there are no methods of moving and grasping them. In order to make a swift diagnosis and to give proper medication, it is necessary to control the moving speed of the capsule. This paper presents a wireless system for the control of movements of an electrical stimulus capsule. This includes an electrical stimulus capsule which can be swallowed and an external transmitting control system. A receiver, a receiving antenna (small multi-loop), a transmitter, and a transmitting antenna (monopole) were designed and fabricated taking into consideration the MPE, power consumption, system size, signal-to-noise ratio and the modulation method. The wireless system, which was designed and implemented for the control of movements of the electrical stimulus capsule, was verified by in-vitro experiments which were performed on the small intestines of a pig. As a result, we found that when the small intestines are contracted by electrical stimuli, the capsule can move to the opposite direction, which means that the capsule can go up or down in the small intestines.

Diseases in the gastro-intestinal track are becoming more prevalent. In order to diagnose a patient, the various signals of the digestive organ, such as temperature, pH, and pressure, can offer helpful information. The variation of a pressure signal of the gastro-intestinal track can offer information about digestive troubles or provide clues about diseases. This paper presents a wireless system for the pressure monitoring system, which includes a swallow-type pressure capsule and the external receiving system. A transmitter, a transmitting antenna (Helix), a receiver, and a receiving antenna (Loop) were designed and fabricated in consideration of the MPE, power consumption, system size, signal to noise ratio and modulation method. The wireless system designed and implemented for the pressure monitoring system was verified by in-vivo experiments. As a result, we found each organ has its own characteristic pressure fluctuation.
The analog IC technology, might sound old-fashioned, is still important for the future wireless systems such as 4G cellular phone systems, broadband wireless networkings, and wireless sensor networkings. The analog features and issues of the scaled CMOS transistor, the basic issue and the technology trend for the ADC as an important building block of wires systems, and the feature of the digital RF architecture proposed recently are reviewed and discussed. Higher speed and lower power consumption are expected for low SNR systems along with the further technology scaling. However, the high SNR system is not realized easily due to a decrease of signal voltage. One of the important technology trends is the digitalization of RF signal to realize the system flexibility, robustness, area shrinking, and TAT shortening.

In this letter, we propose a novel approach for use in the analytical modeling of the overall performance of a Hybrid ARQ (type I and II) together with arbitrary channel model, based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Using the combined HMM model developed for involved ARQ protocols with the finite state channel model, such critical performance measure as throughput and delay can be derived in closed form. Analytical results are derived for Stop-and-Wait as well as Go-back-N type together with the type I and type II Hybrid ARQ scheme adopted. We compare the analytical results along with the simulation results in order to check the correctness our model, and show the efficiency of our approach by applying it to realistic environments such as the CDMA IS-95 system with its derived equations.
Wireless networks are quickly becoming an integral part of the Internet. But, the TCP does not work well in wireless networks. Considerable research has tried to improve TCP performance in wireless networks, especially in the face of the wireless link loss problem. However, TCP performance is also deeply influenced by channel conditions, and the performance in variable channel conditions has not been studied widely. In this paper, we observe the behavior of the traditional standard TCP performance in the face of variable channel conditions. Then, we propose a new simple TCP flow control scheme. The traditional standard TCP performs poorly because it does not reflect current channel conditions. Our adaptive TCP receiver window control scheme, however, performs well on variable channel conditions. Our scheme efficiently improves TCP performance with minimum modification of TCP module on the wireless terminal. It adaptively adjusts the TCP receiver window size depending on the dynamic channel conditions. Thus, our scheme maintains network conditions properly and has good TCP performance over all wireless channel conditions. In addition, since our scheme is simple and the only the TCP receiver module on the wireless terminal needs to be changed, it is feasible. Through the simulation and analysis, we found that our scheme has good TCP throughput and short end-to-end delay over all variable channel conditions.

In this paper, we propose multiple subcarrier modulation (MSM) for infrared wireless systems using punctured convolutional codes and variable amplitude block codes to minimize the average optical power by allocating the appropriate amplitudes to the puncturing bits. The proposed system maps the coded bits corresponding to zeros in the puncturing table to the amplitudes of subcarriers, while the rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) code deletes them. We compare two proposed systems with the conventional systems: one block code maps the coded bits corresponding to zeros in the puncturing table to zeros (proposed 1), and the other maps them to the appropriate values among 0, and 1 (proposed 2) so that the required bias can be minimized. We show that the proposed 2 can achieve the minimum required SNR at the same average optical power and the same information rate among all the systems.
