"Wireless Networks and Security" provides a broad coverage of
wireless security issues including cryptographic coprocessors,
encryption, authentication, key management, attacks and
countermeasures, secure routing, secure medium access control,
intrusion detection, epidemics, security performance analysis,
security issues in applications. The contributions identify various
vulnerabilities in the physical layer, MAC layer, network layer,
transport layer, and application layer, and focus on ways of
strengthening security mechanisms and services throughout the
layers. This carefully edited monograph is targeting for
researchers, post-graduate students in universities, academics, and
industry practitioners or professionals.
Although the information and communication technology (ICT)
industry accounted for only 2 percent of global greenhouse gas
emissions in 2007, the explosive increase in data traffic brought
about by a rapidly growing user base of more than a billion
wireless subscribers is expected to nearly double that number by
2020. It is clear that now is the time to rethink how we design and
build our networks. Green Networking and Communications: ICT for
Sustainability brings together leading academic and industrial
researchers from around the world to discuss emerging developments
in energy-efficient networking and communications. It covers the
spectrum of research subjects, including methodologies and
architectures for energy efficiency, energy-efficient protocols and
networks, energy management, smart grid communications, and
communication technologies for green solutions. Examines
foraging-inspired radio-communication energy management for green
multi-radio networks Considers a cross-layer approach to the design
of energy-efficient wireless access networks Investigates the
interplay between cooperative device-to-device communications and
green LTE cellular networks Considers smart grid energy procurement
for green LTE cellular networks Details smart grid networking
protocols and standards Considering the spectrum of
energy-efficient network components and approaches for reducing
power consumption, the book is organized into three sections:
Energy Efficiency and Management in Wireless Networks, Cellular
Networks, and Smart Grids. It addresses many open research
challenges regarding energy efficiency for IT and for wireless
sensor networks, including mobile and wireless access networks,
broadband access networks, home networks, vehicular networks,
intelligent future wireless networks, and smart grids. It also
examines emerging standards for energy-efficient protocols.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) utilize fast, cheap, and effective
applications to imitate the human intelligence capability of
sensing on a wider distributed scale. But acquiring data from the
deployment area of a WSN is not always easy and multiple issues
arise, including the limited resources of sensor devices run with
one-time batteries. Additional WSN concerns include the external
environment, routing, data aggregation, and ensuring quality of
service (QoS) and security. Solutions have been developed for
various types of application scenarios, but many problems still
remain as open research challenges. Wireless Sensor Networks:
Current Status and Future Trends covers the various issues
associated with WSNs, including their structure, activities, and
applications. Bringing together the contributions of researchers
and experts in the field, this book explores: Applications of WSNs,
data-centric storage, environmental forest monitoring, and the
fundamentals of wireless body area networks Mobile medium access
control (MAC) protocols, cooperative diversity sensor systems, and
WSNs operating in IEEE 802.11 networks Location and position
estimation in WSNs, techniques used in localization algorithms, and
localization schemes Energy-centric simulation and design space
exploration The fundamentals of MAC protocols and specific
requirements and problems Protocols and data gathering Privacy and
security issues in WSNs, solutions based on watermarking, and
proposed work on intrusion detection systems (IDS) in WSNs
Reviewing current trends in research and development as well as
future expectations in the relevant areas, this book is a valuable
reference for students, graduates, academics, researchers of
computer science, and engineers, whether working in professional
organizations or research institutions.
Security for Multihop Wireless Networks provides broad coverage of
the security issues facing multihop wireless networks. Presenting
the work of a different group of expert contributors in each
chapter, it explores security in mobile ad hoc networks, wireless
sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, and personal area
networks. Detailing technologies and processes that can help you
secure your wireless networks, the book covers cryptographic
coprocessors, encryption, authentication, key management, attacks
and countermeasures, secure routing, secure medium access control,
intrusion detection, epidemics, security performance analysis, and
security issues in applications. It identifies vulnerabilities in
the physical, MAC, network, transport, and application layers and
details proven methods for strengthening security mechanisms in
each layer. The text explains how to deal with black hole attacks
in mobile ad hoc networks and describes how to detect misbehaving
nodes in vehicular ad hoc networks. It identifies a pragmatic and
energy efficient security layer for wireless sensor networks and
covers the taxonomy of security protocols for wireless sensor
communications. Exploring recent trends in the research and
development of multihop network security, the book outlines
possible defenses against packet-dropping attacks in wireless
multihop ad hoc networks.Complete with expectations for the future
in related areas, this is an ideal reference for researchers,
industry professionals, and academics. Its comprehensive coverage
also makes it suitable for use as a textbook in graduate-level
electrical engineering programs.
Simulation is a widely used mechanism for validating the
theoretical models of networking and communication systems.
Although the claims made based on simulations are considered to be
reliable, how reliable they really are is best determined with
real-world implementation trials. Simulation Technologies in
Networking and Communications: Selecting the Best Tool for the Test
addresses the spectrum of issues regarding the different mechanisms
related to simulation technologies in networking and communications
fields. Focusing on the practice of simulation testing instead of
the theory, it presents the work of more than 50 experts from
around the world. Considers superefficient Monte Carlo simulations
Describes how to simulate and evaluate multicast routing algorithms
Covers simulation tools for cloud computing and broadband passive
optical networks Reports on recent developments in simulation tools
for WSNs Examines modeling and simulation of vehicular networks The
book compiles expert perspectives about the simulation of various
networking and communications technologies. These experts review
and evaluate popular simulation modeling tools and recommend the
best tools for your specific tests. They also explain how to
determine when theoretical modeling would be preferred over
simulation. This book does not provide a verdict on the best
suitable tool for simulation. Instead, it supplies authoritative
analyses of the different kinds of networks and systems. Presenting
best practices and insights from global experts, the book provides
you with an understanding of what to simulate, where to simulate,
whether to simulate or not, when to simulate, and how to simulate
for a wide range of issues.
