In the context of the rapid development of the Internet and the Internet of Things technology, services based on location information have received more and more attention, and people gradually have higher expectations for the quality and experience of positioning services. At present, outdoor positioning technology is becoming mature, but different from empty outdoor areas, there is a highly complex indoor environment with many interference factors, so it is difficult to receive effective satellite signals. To realize the smooth transition of whole-field positioning, it is necessary to study an economical and efficient indoor positioning technology. The existing indoor positioning technologies have some problems, so this paper comprehensively uses the resource-rich Wi-Fi signal, Frequency Modulation (FM) signal and Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast (DTMB) signal as the positioning data sources, and proposes a fingerprint fusion positioning method based on the wireless signal distribution characteristic. Experiments show that the proposed method improves localization accuracy by 30% compared to localization with Wi-Fi alone. Full article

In order to increase channel usage efficiency, unlicensed users within a Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) are permitted to utilize channels that are not currently occupied by licensed users. However, ensuring communication between users in a CRN remains a challenge. To overcome this issue, a variety of channel hopping protocols have been developed. Time-invariant channel hopping protocols are vulnerable to attacks, so several channel hopping protocols that are resistant to jamming attacks have been proposed. In the majority of existing anti-jamming protocols, users create their channel hopping sequence using a channel hopping matrix, with the rendezvous probability between two users being determined by the structure of their respective channel hopping matrices. The channel hopping matrices designed by existing methods still have room for improvement. To overcome the difficulty of guaranteeing communication between any pair of users, while also providing protection against jamming attacks and minimizing the time to rendezvous (TTR) in a CRN, this paper presents the Anti-jamming Low-Latency channel hopping (ALL) protocol. This protocol allows a sender to adjust their channel hopping matrix structure to match that of the receiver, thereby improving the chances of successful rendezvous between users. Based on the simulation results, the ALL protocol performs better than the recently proposed practical solution, OLAA, by up to 33% in network throughput and 30% in TTR. On average, ALL outperforms OLAA by 25% in network throughput and 20% in TTR. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the trust-degree-based secure relay selection in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled relay networks. In particular, we optimize the interference power by selecting the appropriate relay and time division ratio on the condition of both the secure transmission and trust degree. First, by applying the security capacity constraint, we derive the expressions of the time division ratio and relay interference power concerning the trust degree. Then, we discuss the different results for different trust degrees and determine the set of trust degrees to guarantee secure communications. Finally, according to the different trust degrees, we compute the needed interference power for each relay and make a selection to obtain the optimal performance under relay networks. Simulation results show that with the known trust degree the proposed algorithm obtains the appropriate relay and time division ratio, reduces energy consumption, and guarantees an achievable security rate.

In this paper, a sequential transient detection method for radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting used in the identification of wireless devices is proposed. To the best knowledge of the authors, sequential detection of transient signals for RF fingerprinting has not been considered in the literature. The proposed method is based on an approximate implementation of the generalized likelihood ratio algorithm. The method can be implemented online in a recursive manner with low computational and memory requirements. The transients of wireless transmitters are detected by using the likelihood ratio of the observations without the requirement of any a priori knowledge about the transmitted signals. The performance of the method was evaluated using experimental data collected from 16 Wi-Fi transmitters and compared to those of two existing methods. The experimental test results showed that the proposed method can be used to detect the transient signals with a low detection delay. Our proposed method estimates transient starting points 20-times faster compared to an existing robust method, as well as providing a classification performance of a mean accuracy close to 95%.
