This book introduces various signal processing approaches to
enhance physical layer secrecy in multi-antenna wireless systems.
Wireless physical layer secrecy has attracted much attention in
recent years due to the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and
its inherent vulnerability to eavesdropping. While most articles on
physical layer secrecy focus on the information-theoretic aspect,
we focus specifically on the signal processing aspects, including
beamforming and precoding techniques for data transmission and
discriminatory training schemes for channel estimation. The
discussions will cover cases with collocated and with distributed
antennas, i.e., relays. The topics covered will be of interest to
researchers in the signal processing community as well to
practitioners and engineers working in this area. This book will
also review recent works that apply these signal processing
approaches to more advanced wireless systems, such as OFDM systems,
multicell systems, cognitive radio, multihop networks etc. This
will draw interest from researchers that wish to pursue the topic
further in these new directions. This book is divided into three
parts: (i) data transmission, (ii) channel estimation and (iii)
advanced applications. Even though many works exist in the
literature on these topics, the approaches and perspectives taken
were largely diverse. This book provides a more organized and
systematic view of these designs and to lay a solid foundation for
future work in these areas. Moreover, by presenting the work from a
signal processing perspective, this book will also trigger more
research interest from the signal processing community and further
advance the field of physical layer secrecy along the described
directions. This book allows readers to gain basic understanding of
works on physical layer secrecy, knowledge of how signal processing
techniques can be applied to this area, and the application of
these techniques in advanced wireless applications.
A valuable contribution to the taxonomy of ladybird beetles in this
region. True ladybirds, classified in the tribe Coccinellini, are
easily recognisable by their relatively large and shiny bodies and
contrasting colour patterns. They are one of the most widely
studied groups of beetles, being of economic importance and used as
model organisms in biological and ecological research. Ladybird
Beetles of the Australo-Pacific Region covers 22 genera and 95
valid species, including 12 new species, of ladybird beetles from
Australia, New Guinea and the Pacific area. For each species,
descriptions, illustrations and keys will assist with the correct
identification of ladybirds from this large but practically unknown
fauna. This book is a valuable contribution to the taxonomy of
ladybird beetles and to the knowledge of the biodiversity of this
unique biogeographic region. It will be of use to entomologists,
biologists, ecologists, quarantine officers, natural history museum
curators and students.
