He enthusiastically and continually encourages my study and research works. It has been an honor to be his Ph.D. student, and I appreciate his plentiful research advice and contributions. My gratitude is also extended to all committee members, Prof. Antonio Arroyo, Prof. Janise McNair, and Prof. Richard Newman. I am very appreciative of their willingness to serve on my committee and their valuable advice. I also thank my lab colleagues at Laboratory for Information Systems and Tele- communications (LIST). Our research discussion and your help were precious for my research progress. I will also never forget our memories in Gainesville. Last, but certainly not least, I must acknowledge with tremendous and deep thanks my family and parents. The scholastic life of my father has promoted my research desire. Furthermore, without his unconditional support, my doctoral degree is never acquired. Most of all, I would like to thank and have great admiration for the love, sacrifice and education of my last mother. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  • Low-Cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: an Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup
    Low-cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: An Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup Cynthia Kuo Jesse Walker Adrian Perrig Carnegie Mellon University Intel Corporation Carnegie Mellon University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup spec- ify mechanisms for exchanging authentication credentials in wireless net- works. Both Simple Pairing and Protected Setup support multiple setup mechanisms, which increases security risks and hurts the user experience. To improve the security and usability of these specifications, we suggest defining a common baseline for hardware features and a consistent, in- teroperable user experience across devices. 1 Introduction Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled devices are increasingly common. Already, manu- facturers ship around 10 million Bluetooth units and 4 million Wi-Fi units each week [1, 2]. Inevitably, consumers will perform security-sensitive transactions – including financial transactions – over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Thus, institutions should demand a basic level of assurance: that these technologies do not expose their systems or their customers’ accounts to additional risks. This implies that (1) the security mechanisms in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi should be at least as strong as the rest of the system; and (2) the mechanisms should be easy to use so that consumers can configure and use them correctly. We evaluate the security and usability of setup in the Bluetooth SIG’s Simple Pairing specification (August 2006) [3] and the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Protected Setup specification (released December 2006) [4]. These specifications were developed with two goals in mind: first, to make the technologies easy for non-expert users; and second, to address vulnerabilities in earlier versions of the technology.

  • Build a Superior Customer Experience Around Small Cells
    BUILD A SUPERIOR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AROUND SMALL CELLS REDUCE COSTS, BOOST CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND INCREASE ARPU WITH SOLUTIONS THAT STREAMLINE SMALL CELL OPERATIONS AND IMPROVE CUSTOMER CARE STRATEGIC WHITE PAPER Small cell technologies bring network operators new opportunities to address surging mobile data traffic, increasing indoor mobile device use and growing expectations relative to quality of experience (QoE). However, small cells also bring new levels of complexity to network deployment, operations and maintenance processes. To seize the small cell opportunity, operators need solutions that can take cost and complexity out of the network while delivering the superior QoE that enterprise and residential customers demand. On the operations side, this calls for solutions that can manage devices and services, handle diverse access technologies and work effectively in multivendor networks. On the customer side, it calls for solutions that can sustain a high QoE by supporting better and more proactive customer care. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction / 1 Using small cells to address mobile data growth / 1 Small cells bring new opportunities and challenges / 3 Building toward small cell standards / 5 Delivering a Superior Small Cell Experience / 6 Enhancing network performance / 6 Enhancing the customer experience / 7 Conclusion / 8 Abbreviations / 8 INTRODUCTION Mobile users are consuming more data than ever, but network operator revenues have failed to keep pace. The growing gap between mobile traffic and mobile revenue has operators searching for solutions that will allow them to plan and utilize their network deployments more efficiently. The current technology evolution path may not support prevailing traffic trends. Today, mobile data traffic growth stems mainly from residential and enterprise users who use their devices indoors.

In this way, the vision of industrial presently, HomePlug has an important role in home LAN automation with power line communication especially for a connecting to the Internet. For industrial applications, the Power Line Communication also has significant advances. smaller local area is possible. However, the PHY/MAC technology provided by HomePlug The power line medium is a harsh environment for still cannot be employed with some critical features such as communication. The channel between any two devices in real time performance, implications in the event of link and an application has the transfer function of an extremely node loss. In this paper, the characteristics of HomePlug complicated transmission line network with many stubs PHY/MAC, the property of power line channel, as well as the having terminating loads of various impedances.

  • Homeplug-AV Power Line Communications
    Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena Department of Information and Communication Technologies Ph.D. Thesis Analysis and Evaluation of In-home Networks Based on HomePlug-AV Power Line Communications Pedro José Piñero Escuer 2014 Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena Department of Information and Communication Technologies Ph.D. Thesis Analysis and Evaluation of In-home Networks Based on HomePlug-AV Power Line Communications Author Pedro José Piñero Escuer Supervisors Josemaría Malgosa Sanahuja Pilar Manzanares López Cartagena, 2014 A Natalia y a mis padres, por su apoyo durante estos años Abstract Not very long time ago, in-home networks (also called domestic networks) were only used to share a printer between a number of computers. Nowadays, however, due to the huge amount of devices present at home with communication capabilities, this definition has become much wider. In a current in-home network we can find, from mobile phones with wireless connectivity, or NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices sharing multimedia content with high-definition televisions or computers. When installing a communications network in a home, two objectives are mainly pur- sued: Reducing cost and high flexibility in supporting future network requirements. A network based on Power Line Communications (PLC) technology is able to fulfill these objectives, since as it uses the low voltage wiring already available at home, it is very easy to install and expand, providing a cost-effective solution for home environments. There are different PLC standards, being HomePlug-AV (HomePlug Audio-Video, or simply HPAV) the most widely used nowadays. This standard is able to achieve transmission rates up to 200 Mpbs through the electrical wiring of a typical home.
