Abstract 5th Generation (5G)-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) connects billions of devices for
high-speed data transfer. The data collected fuel many automation applications such as …

Location of sensor nodes is one of the most important and fundamental information for
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), because it provides basic support for many location …

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can increase road safety and comfort. It needs strong
demand for security because the data sent in VANETs influence vehicles' behavior. Existing …

Due to the short communication range, users are selected as relays to support multi-hop
transmission for content sharing/downloading in D2D communications. In this letter, we first …

Network topology obfuscation (NTO) is generally considered as a promising proactive
mechanism to mitigate traffic analysis attacks. The main challenge is to strike a balance …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks have been widely deployed in military and civilian
applications. Due to the nature of the sensor network, it is easy for an adversary to trace the …

Abstract In recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have played an important role in
smart cities, which are a hot spot. More attentions have been paid to the security in smart …

In various applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), sensor nodes forward data
packets towards an in-situ base-station (BS) over multi-hop routes. The BS not only collects …

Abstract In most Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications the sensor nodes forward
their measurements to a central base station (BS). The unique role of the BS makes it a …

The vital role of a base station (BS) in a wireless sensor network (WSN) has made it a
favorable target in hostile environments. Despite attempts to physically make the BS hidden …
