Rendezvous and Multi-channel Hidden Terminal problems are the two well-known challenges in developing a multi-channel MAC protocol. In literature, the Control Period Based (CPB) approach is proposed to cope with the rendezvous problem. Each channel is partitioned into several beacon intervals and each of which consists of ATIM window and data window. All hosts are asked to stay in every ATIM window...
Minimizing power consumption without compromising speed in any integrated circuit (IC) is a challenge. Employing multiple supply voltages (multi-Vdd) is an effective technique to achieve this. In order to minimize the power dissipation in an integrated circuit, voltage level converter circuits are required. There are two novel multi-threshold voltage (multi-Vth) based level converters are proposed...
In this paper we examine the idea of implementing communicating sequential processes (CSP) constructs on a Java embedded chip multiprocessor (CMP). The approach is intended to reduce the memory bandwidth pressure on the shared memory, by employing a dedicated network-on-chip (NoC). The presented solution is scalable and also specific for our limited resources and real-time predictability requirements...
This paper presents a wideband inductorless Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) using a technique for canceling 2nd and 3rd order intermodulation products at the same time and hence achieving high second and third order Input Intercept Point (IIP2 and IIP3) at RF and microwave frequencies. The LNA also makes use of noise canceling stage to achieve low noise characteristics and low noise figure in the whole...
A low-voltage and high-linearity downconverter RFIC design using TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS foundry for WiMAX applications is presented in this paper. The LC resonator is used to block DC and RF signals for low supply voltage and the multiple-gated CMOS is adopted to eliminate third-order nonlinear term for high linearity. The crucial simulated results of WiMAX downconverter include that a conversion gain...
Intrabody communication using the human body as the transmission channel enables low-power wireless communication within a body area network. Using intelligent nodes it is expected that condensed information packets are transmitted between nodes reducing the data rate to a few kbit/s. This paper investigates the practical low-frequency transmission quality using capacitive signal coupling via custom-made...
The most of the upcoming global satellite navigation system (GNSS) signals will be composite type. Composite satellite signals have unique spreading codes both for data channel and dataless (pilot) channel. The combination allows both data extraction for navigation and longer integration of pilot for better timing and thus positioning accuracy. The non-coherent and coherent collaborative tracking...
The article proposes a new type of short-range wireless information transmission equipment. It is mainly composed of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and the receiver all use the high integrated and high performance single chip solution. The transmitter is only composed of pure hardware. It features simple structure, stable performance and simple debugging. The receiver not only has simple...
In a MMSE Ultra-WideBand(UWB) selective rake receiver, the selection of optimal subset of multipath is important for the performance of system. As the optimal solution is NP hard, the Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Multipath Selection algorithm (DPSO-MSa) was proposed. The DPSO-MSa can get near optimal performance after certain iterations. Simulation results are presents to compare with the...
An analog baseband chain for a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) receiver implemented in a 130nm CMOS technology is presented in this paper. Occupying 0.23mm2 of silicon area, the baseband chain consists of a three-stage Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA), a 5th-order gm-C Low Pass Filter (LPF) and an Output Buffer (OBUF). The gain of the chain can be controlled by tuning the control voltages of the VGA and...
This paper presents the architecture and the corresponding simulation results for a digitally interfaced ultra-low power extended Hamming decoder implemented in analog integrated circuitry. ST's 65nm low power CMOS design library was used to simulate the complete decoder including a serial input digital interface, an analog decoding core and a serial output digital interface. The simulated bit error...
Subliminal channels are covert channels established in cryptosystems such as digital signatures and authentication systems by exploiting the inherent randomness of the cryptosystems and are used to hide secret information. Subliminal channel is a serious threat to sensitive systems with high-level security. The state-of-the-art security requires subliminal channels to be detected and if possible prevented...

We present round-efficient protocols for secure multi-party computation with a dishonest majority that rely on black-box access to the underlying primitives. Our main contributions are as follows: · a O(log* n)-round protocol that relies on black-box access to dense cryptosystems, homomorphic encryption schemes, or lossy encryption schemes. This improves upon the recent O(1)log* n-round protocol of...
We construct the first general secure computation protocols that require no trusted infrastructure other than authenticated communication, and that satisfy a meaningful notion of security that is preserved under universal composition- assuming only the existence of enhanced trapdoor permutations. The notion of security fits within a generalization of the "angelbased" framework of Prabhakaran...
