- Description: In this paper, we consider deceptive friendly jammers in a half-duplex random wireless network against a group of adaptive eavesdroppers. The destinations, eavesdroppers and friendly jammers are distributed according to homogeneous Poisson point process (HPPP). To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to study such a system model. As we may combine hostile jamming and passive eavesdropping, the secrecy of legitimate communication might be compromised. To combat this and improve secrecy of transmission, a group of friendly jammers thus transmit a source-like signal to deceive the eavesdroppers and try to force them to be passive listeners as much as possible. We derive the secrecy capacity for this scenario. The secrecy performance is evaluated for different parameters and with a secrecy protected zone surrounding the source. Performance evaluation through illustrative numerical results demonstrates that the friendly jammers can enhance the secrecy of a random wireless network. The advantages of friendly jammers are particularly prominent if the secrecy protected zone is very small and/or the node intensity of the destinations is low. The results show that the friendly jammers can restore the secrecy in a hostile environment if sufficient friendly jammers (e.g., 0.01 km−2 for the provided system model) are hired. © 2020

- Description: Content sharing with smart mobile devices using decentralized approach enables users to share contents without the use of any fixed infrastructure, and thereby offers a free-of-cost platform that does not add to Internet traffic which, in its current state, is approaching bottleneck in its capacity. Most of the existing decentralized approaches in the literature consider spatio-temporal regularity in human movement patterns and pre-existing social relationship for the sharing scheme to work. However, such predictable movement patterns and social relationship information are not available in places like tourist spots where people visit only for a short period of time and usually meet strangers. No works exist in literature that deals with content sharing in such environment. In this work, we propose a content sharing approach for such environments. The group formation mechanism is based on users' interest score and stay probability in the individual region of interest (ROI) as well as on the availability and delivery probabilities of contents in the group. The administrator of each group is selected by taking into account its probability of stay in the ROI, connectivity with other nodes, its trustworthiness and computing and energy resources to serve the group. We have also adopted an incentive mechanism as encouragement that awards nodes for sharing and forwarding contents. We have used network simulator NS3 to perform extensive simulation on a popular tourist spot in Australia which facilitates a number of activities. The proposed approach shows promising results in sharing contents among tourists, measured in terms of content hit, delivery success rate and latency.

- Description: Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) are becoming increasingly promising to monitor aquatic environment. However, reliable data delivery remains challenging due to long propagation delay and high error-rate of underwater acoustic channel, limited energy and inherent mobility of sensor nodes. To address these issues, we propose a protocol called Path Reliability-Aware Data Delivery (PRADD) to improve data transfer reliability for delay tolerant underwater traffic. Data delivery reliability is significantly improved by selecting the next hop forwarder on-the-fly based on its link reliability, reachability to gateways and coverage probability through probabilistic estimation. Data forwarding solution is coupled with delay tolerant networking paradigm to improve delivery with reduced overhead. PRADD does not require active localization technique to estimate the updated location of a sensor node except its initial coarse location. The movement of an anchored node is exploited to estimate its coverage probability. Mobile message ferries are used to collect stored data from one or more nodes, called gateways. A strategy for gateway selection is devised to maximize their lifetime. Simulation results show that PRADD achieves significant performance improvement over competing protocols using low overhead and less energy.

- Description: Decentralized content sharing (DCS) is emerging as a suitable platform for smart mobile device users to generate and share contents seamlessly without the requirement of a centralized server. This feature is particularly important for places that lack Internet coverage such as tourist attractions where users can form an ad-hoc network and communicate opportunistically to share contents. Existing DCS approaches when applied for such type of places suffer from low delivery success rate and high latency. Although a handful of recent approaches have specifically targeted improvement of content delivery service in tourist spot like scenario, these and other DCS approaches do not focus on contents’ demand and supply which vary considerably due to visitor in-and-out flow and occurrence of influencing events. This is further compounded by the lack of any content distribution (replication) scheme. The content delivery service will be improved if contents can be proactively distributed in strategic positions based on dynamic demand and supply and medium access contention. In this paper, we propose a dynamic content distribution scheme (DCDS) considering these practical issues for sharing contents in tourist attractions. Simulation results show that the proposed approach significantly improves (7
