Citizens' Band (CB) Radio
Citizens’ Band (CB) radio – Authorising Amplitude Modulation (AM) modes of operation Permitting AM double and single side band CB radio in the UK Statement Publication date: 10 December 2013 Contents Section Page 1 Executive Summary 1 2 Introduction and background 2 3 Consultation Responses 5 4 Conclusions and next steps 10 Annex Page 1 List of non-confidential respondents 11 Citizens’ Band (CB) radio – Authorising Amplitude Modulation (AM) modes of operation Section 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 This Statement sets out Ofcom’s decision to proceed with proposals made in our Consultation “Citizens’ Band (CB) radio – Authorising Amplitude Modulation (AM) modes of operation”1 (the ‘Consultation') which was published on 7 October 2013 and closed on 8 November 2013. 1.2 The Consultation proposed to amend current arrangements for Citizens’ Band (CB) Radio in the UK to allow the use of Amplitude Modulation (AM) Double-sideband (DSB) and Single-sideband (SSB) transmission on CB radio. 1.3 Ofcom specifically proposed to: • Authorise the use of AM emissions on European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) harmonised channels in line with European Communication Committee (ECC) Decision (11)032; and • Authorise such use on a licence exempt basis (in line with our authorisation approach for other modes of operation for CB). 1.4 These proposals followed on from work carried out in Europe. In June 2011 the ECC, part of CEPT, published a Decision, ECC/DEC/ (11)03 (the ‘Decision’) on the harmonised use of frequencies for CB radio equipment. The Decision sought to harmonise the technical standards and usage conditions relating to the use of frequencies for CB radio equipment in CEPT administrations. -
Jamming Attacks and Anti-Jamming Strategies in Wireless Networks
1 Jamming Attacks and Anti-Jamming Strategies in Wireless Networks: A Comprehensive Survey Hossein Pirayesh and Huacheng Zeng Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI USA Abstract—Wireless networks are a key component of the will become ubiquitously available for massive devices to telecommunications infrastructure in our society, and wireless realize the vision of Internet of Everything (IoE) in the near services become increasingly important as the applications of future [18]. wireless devices have penetrated every aspect of our lives. Although wireless technologies have significantly advanced in As we are increasingly reliant on wireless services, security the past decades, most wireless networks are still vulnerable to threats have become a big concern about the confidentiality, radio jamming attacks due to the openness nature of wireless integrity, and availability of wireless communications. Com- channels, and the progress in the design of jamming-resistant pared to other security threats such as eavesdropping and wireless networking systems remains limited. This stagnation can data fabrication, wireless networks are particularly vulnerable be attributed to the lack of practical physical-layer wireless tech- nologies that can efficiently decode data packets in the presence to radio jamming attacks for the following reasons. First, of jamming attacks. This article surveys existing jamming attacks jamming attacks are easy to launch. With the advances in and anti-jamming strategies in wireless local area networks software-defined radio, one can easily program a small $10 (WLANs), cellular networks, cognitive radio networks (CRNs), USB dongle device to a jammer that covers 20 MHz bandwidth ZigBee networks, Bluetooth networks, vehicular networks, LoRa below 6 GHz and up to 100 mW transmission power [34]. -
Jamming the Stations: Is There an International Free Flow of Info
Schenone: Jamming The Stations: Is There an International Free Flow of Info JAMMING THE STATIONS: IS THERE AN INTERNATIONAL FREE FLOW OF INFORMATION? In September 1983, Korean Airlines flight 7 was shot down by a Soviet interceptor.' All 269 passengers perished.2 Within an hour, news of the incident was broadcast to citizens of the Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union 3 over Radio Free Europe (RFE)4 and Radio Liberty (RL).5 The Soviet news services, how- ever, failed to mention the incident.6 The Soviet government delib- erately attempted to block reception of the RFE and RL broadcast through radio jamming.' Radio jamming is a significant international problem because radio broadcasting is an essential and powerful means of dissemi- nating information among nations.8 Radio jamming is generally defined as "deliberate radio interference to prevent reception of a foreign broadcast."9 A more technical definition is "intentional harmful interference" '0 which results in intentional non-conformity 1.

When the Soviet news services later admitted it had in fact been shot down by one of their pilots, they claimed the Korean plane had no lights identifying it as non-agressive. However, RFE and RL broadcasts of the tapes of the interceptor's pilot revealed that he claimed he could see the Korean jet's strobe lights. -

A Double Horizon Defense Design for Robust Regulation of Malicious Traffic Abstract Deploying defense mechanisms in routers holds promises for protecting infrastructure resources such as link bandwidth or router buffers against network Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. However, in spite of their efficacy against bruteforce flooding attacks, existing outer-basedr defenses often perform poorly when confronted to more sophisticated attack strategies. -
Arguments for an End-Middle-End Internet
CHASING EME: ARGUMENTS FOR AN END-MIDDLE-END INTERNET A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Saikat Guha August 2009 c 2009 Saikat Guha ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CHASING EME: ARGUMENTS FOR AN END-MIDDLE-END INTERNET Saikat Guha, Ph.D. Cornell University 2009 Connection establishment in the Internet has remained unchanged from its orig- inal design in the 1970s: first, the path between the communicating endpoints is assumed to always be open. It is assumed that an endpoint can reach any other endpoint by simply sending a packet addressed to the destination. This assumption is no longer borne out in practice: Network Address Translators (NATs) prevent all hosts from being addressed, firewalls prevent all packets from being delivered, and middleboxes transparently intercept packets with- out endpoint knowledge. Second, the Internet strives to deliver all packets ad- dressed to a destination regardless of whether the packet is ultimately desired by the destination or not. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are therefore common- place, and the Internet remains vulnerable to flash worms. This thesis presents the End-Middle-End (EME) requirements for connec- tion establishment that the modern Internet should satisfy, and explores the de- sign space of a signaling-based architecture that meets these requirements with minimal changes to the existing Internet. In so doing, this thesis proposes so- lutions to three real-world problems. First, it focuses on the problem of TCP NAT Traversal, where endpoints behind their respective NATs today cannot es- tablish a direct TCP connection with each other due to default NAT behavior. -
Speeding up Correlation Search for Binary Data
Speeding up Correlation Search for Binary Data Lian Duan and W. Nick Street [email protected] Management Sciences Department The University of Iowa Abstract Finding the most interesting correlations in a collection of items is essential for problems in many commercial, medical, and scientific domains. Much previous re- search focuses on finding correlated pairs instead of correlated itemsets in which all items are correlated with each other. Though some existing methods find correlated itemsets of any size, they suffer from both efficiency and effectiveness problems in large datasets. In our previous paper [10], we propose a fully-correlated itemset (FCI) framework to decouple the correlation measure from the need for efficient search. By wrapping the desired measure in our FCI framework, we take advantage of the desired measure’s superiority in evaluating itemsets, eliminate itemsets with irrelevant items, and achieve good computational performance. However, FCIs must start pruning from 2-itemsets unlike frequent itemsets which can start the pruning from 1-itemsets. When the number of items in a given dataset is large and the support of all the pairs cannot be loaded into the memory, the IO cost O(n2) for calculating correlation of all the pairs is very high. In addition, users usually need to try different correlation thresholds and the cost of processing the Apriori procedure each time for a different threshold is very high. Consequently, we propose two techniques to solve the efficiency problem in this paper. With respect to correlated pair search, we identify a 1-dimensional monotone prop- erty of the upper bound of any good correlation measure, and different 2-dimensional monotone properties for different types of correlation measures. -
