Wireless physical layer (PHY) security has attracted much attention due to the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and its inherent vulnerability to eavesdropping, jamming, and interference. Physical Layer Security for Wireless Sensing and Communication covers both communication and sensing security from a broad perspective. The main emphasis is on PHY security, although other security measures are covered for the sake of completeness and as a step towards cross-layer security and cognitive security vision. After discussing the features of wireless channels from both the communication and sensing perspectives, the book details their exploitation for secure transmission utilizing various approaches. Wireless sensing and radio environment concepts are also addressed, along with the related security implications in terms of eavesdropping, disruption, manipulation, and, in general, the exploitation of wireless sensing by unauthorised users. Several solutions for these threats from the domains of wireless communication, military radars, and machine learning, are discussed. The book provides valuable information to researchers in academia and industry, as well as engineers, developers, and advanced students in the field of cybersecurity.

This book is aimed to discuss the cognitive radio, software defined radio (SDR), and adaptive radio concepts from several aspects. Cognitive radio and cognitive networks will be investigated from a broad aspect of wireless communication system enhancement while giving special emphasis on better spectrum utilization. Applications of cognitive radio, SDR and cognitive radio architectures, spectrum efficiency and soft spectrum usage, adaptive wireless system design, measurements and awareness of various parameters including interference temperature and geo-location information are some of the important topics that will be covered in this book.

Today's wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing. New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating this demand through better resource management and improved transmission technologies. This book discusses the cognitive radio, software defined radio, and adaptive radio concepts from several perspectives.
