This paper aims at designing, building, and simulating a secured routing protocol to defend against packet dropping attacks in mobile WSNs (MWSNs). This research addresses the gap in the literature by proposing Configurable Secured Adaptive Routing Protocol (CSARP). CSARP has four levels of protection to allow suitability for different types of network applications. The protocol allows the network...
With the continuous advances in mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs), the research community has responded to the challenges and constraints in the design of these networks by proposing efficient routing protocols that focus on particular performance metrics such as residual energy utilization, mobility, topology, scalability, localization, data collection routing, Quality of Service (QoS), etc...
Deployment of low power base-stations (referred to as HetNet) within cellular systems can improve system capacity, coverage and enhance users experience. However, the inter-tier and intra-tier interference in such systems can significantly impact overall system performance, which makes interference and spectral resource management more complex. To build, operate HetNet networks, mobile operators have...
Recently there has been strong interest in extending the MIMO processing from the azimuth dimension to include the elevation plane. This paper compares vertically and horizontally oriented dual polar MIMO LTE-A base station antennas pairs, and studies the performance among large set of users and channel predictions. The study also considers a 2D planar MIMO antenna array arrangement which is compared...
One of the research activities in 5G communication systems is the extension of the MIMO processing from the 2D to the 3D plane by exploiting the elevation dimension which gives an additional degree of freedom to meet the high capacity demands. Despite the growing researches concerning 3D space propagation, there are few studies that evaluate the impact of 3D propagation on MIMO performance at the...
In order to alleviate the mobile data explosion problem, a Wi-Fi offloading strategy has been proposed. Given the recent deployment of Wi-Fi like systems in the TVWS (TV White Space), the mobile offloading to White-Fi networks is an attractive solution to mobile operators to provide full broadband coverage in dense urban environments. To quantify the amount of throughput and coverage gain achieved...

Therefore a 3D channel model is required for an accurate evaluation of MIMO performance. The MIMO system can also be deployed at the user terminal according to the LTE-Advanced system specifications. Therefore, this study exploits the elevation dimension at the...
The regulatory framework for secondary utilization of TV white spaces (TVWS) is well underway in the United Kingdom, while important steps in this direction are taken within the European Union and elsewhere. Mobile network operators are interested in the use of TVWS for cellular extension and rural access, where TVWS is seen as a significant new opportunity for operators to provide new wireless services...
This paper considers infrastructure to vehicle communications using Advanced-LTE. The paper compares the downlink throughput performance experienced by mobile users in an urban-macro-cell in cases of 2D and 3D channel models, where the impact of the 3D component on MIMO performance is investigated.

LTE−Advanced is a promising technology for a higher spectral efficiency and reliable transmission. This paper compares the downlink throughput experienced by mobile users in a macro-cell in an interference limited scenario with a frequency reuse of one. Bit accurate link level simulations are performed for the downlink physical shared channel (PDSCH). The study is performed for a single antenna system...
The digital switch-over has triggered the development of new wireless standards which are expected to use unoccupied TV channels known as TV white space. Wi-Fi like systems in TVWS are foreseen as cost effective high data rate communication systems which might provide significant coverage compared to existing 802.11 Wi-Fi systems. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of downlink throughput...
Recently there have been many proposals to generate a complete channel model that covers wide range of carrier frequencies and take into consideration different aspects of channel propagation statistics. Many of these models focus on two dimensional propagation, i.e. propagation in the azimuth plane only. The assumption of 2D propagation may lead to inaccurate estimation of channel capacity and system...
Recently there has been strong interest in extending MEMO signal processing from the azimuth dimension to include the elevation plane. However, many channel models, such as the 3GPP/ITU model, focus on two dimensional propagation, i.e. propagation in the azimuth plane only. The assumption of 2D propagation may lead to inaccurate estimation of channel capacity, spatial correlation and system level...
Recently many cellular and WLAN standards are considering operation in the TV bands due to enhanced coverage and access to additional bandwidth. To accurately assess the performance of wireless communication systems operating in the TeleVision White Space (TVWS) spectrum, a new channel model is required that accounts for the unique propagation characteristics in the UHF band. This paper proposes an...
