Abstract Digital content such as games, extended reality (XR), and movies has been widely and easily distributed over wireless networks. As a result, unauthorized access, copyright infringement by third parties or eavesdroppers, and cyberattacks over these networks have become pressing concerns. Therefore, protecting copyrighted content and preventing illegal distribution in wireless communications has garnered significant attention. The Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) is regarded as a promising technology for future wireless and mobile networks due to its ability to reconfigure the radio propagation environment. This study investigates the security performance of an uplink Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA)… More >

Abstract Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is essential for continuous health monitoring. However, they face energy efficiency challenges due to the low power consumption of sensor nodes. Current WBAN routing protocols face limitations in strategically minimizing energy consumption during the retrieval of vital health parameters. Efficient network traffic management remains a challenge, with existing approaches often resulting in increased delay and reduced throughput. Additionally, insufficient attention has been paid to enhancing channel capacity to maintain signal strength and mitigate fading effects under dynamic and robust operating scenarios. Several routing strategies and procedures have been developed to… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a hybrid decode-and-forward and soft information relaying (HDFSIR) strategy to mitigate error propagation in coded cooperative communications. In the HDFSIR approach, the relay operates in decode-and-forward (DF) mode when it successfully decodes the received message; otherwise, it switches to soft information relaying (SIR) mode. The benefits of the DF and SIR forwarding strategies are combined to achieve better performance than deploying the DF or SIR strategy alone. Closed-form expressions for the outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) are derived for coded cooperative communication with HDFSIR and energy-harvesting relays. Additionally,… More >

Abstract Relay strip intercropping (RSI) increases soybean nodule number and nitrogen fixation activity at the reproductive stage more than monocropping (M), but the effect of changes in the environment, especially light, on nodules during the coexistence duration and vegetative stage, is unclear. To determine the impact of shading on nodule development at the seedling stage, nodule traits, distribution, and physiological function were compared between M and RSI in a potting experiment in a field environment. Compared with M, nodule number and weight decreased significantly (an average of 81.77% and 93.16%, respectively); thus, the exponential relationship… More >

Abstract Ad hoc networks offer promising applications due to their ease of use, installation, and deployment, as they do not require a centralized control entity. In these networks, nodes function as senders, receivers, and routers. One such network is the Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET), where nodes operate in three dimensions (3D) using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that are remotely controlled. With the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), these nodes form an IoT-enabled network called the Internet of UAVs (IoU). However, the airborne nodes in FANET consume high energy due to their payloads and… More >

Abstract Integrated satellite unmanned aerial vehicle relay networks (ISUAVRNs) have become a prominent topic in recent years. This paper investigates the average secrecy capacity (ASC) for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-enabled ISUAVRNs. Especially, an eve is considered to intercept the legitimate information from the considered secrecy system. Besides, we get detailed expressions for the ASC of the regarded secrecy system with the aid of the reconfigurable intelligent. Furthermore, to gain insightful results of the major parameters on the ASC in high signal-to-noise ratio regime, the approximate investigations are further gotten, which give an efficient method to value More >

Abstract Recently, nano-systems based on molecular communications via diffusion (MCvD) have been implemented in a variety of nanomedical applications, most notably in targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) scenarios. Furthermore, because the MCvD is unreliable and there exists molecular noise and inter symbol interference (ISI), cooperative nano-relays can acquire the reliability for drug delivery to targeted diseased cells, especially if the separation distance between the nano transmitter and nano receiver is increased. In this work, we propose an approach for optimizing the performance of the nano system using cooperative molecular communications with a nano relay scheme, while… More >

Abstract A novel operation control method for relay protection in flexible DC distribution networks with distributed power supply is proposed to address the issue of inaccurate fault location during relay protection, leading to poor performance. The method combines a fault-tolerant fault location method based on long-term and short-term memory networks to accurately locate the fault section. Then, an operation control method for relay protection based on adaptive weight and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is used to construct an objective function considering the shortest relay protection action time and the smallest impulse current. The adaptive weight and More >

Abstract The improvement of the quality and efficiency of vehicle wireless network data transmission is always a key concern in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Routing transmission solved the limitation of transmission distance to a certain extent. Traditional routing algorithm cannot adapt to complex traffic environment, resulting in low transmission efficiency. In order to improve the transmission success rate and quality of vehicle network routing transmission, make the routing algorithm more suitable for complex traffic environment, and reduce transmission power consumption to improve energy efficiency, a comprehensive optimized routing transmission algorithm is proposed.

Abstract Quantum transmission experiments have shown that the successful transmission rate of entangled quanta in optical fibers decreases exponentially. Although current quantum networks deploy quantum relays to establish long-distance connections, the increase in transmission distance and entanglement switching costs still need to be considered when selecting the next hop. However, most of the existing quantum network models prefer to consider the parameters of the physical layer, which ignore the influence factors of the network layer. In this paper, we propose a meshy quantum network model based on quantum teleportation, which considers both network layer and physical… More >
