Preventing Identity Attacks in RFID Backscatter Communication Systems: A Physical-Layer Approach
Ahsan Mehmood, Waqas Aman, M. Mahboob Ur Rahman +2
This work considers identity attack on a radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based backscatter communication system. Specifically, we consider a single-reader, single-tag RFID sy…
On the Effective Capacity of IRS-assisted wireless communication
Waqas Aman, M. Mahboob Ur Rahman, Shuja Ansari +4
We consider futuristic, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS)-aided communication between a base station (BS) and a user equipment (UE) for two distinct scenarios: a single-input,…
On the Effective Capacity of an Underwater Acoustic Channel under Impersonation Attack
Waqas Aman, Zeeshan Haider, S. Waqas H. Shah +2
This paper investigates the impact of authentication on effective capacity (EC) of an underwater acoustic (UWA) channel. Specifically, the UWA channel is under impersonation attack…
Channel Impulse Response-based Physical Layer Authentication in a Diffusion-based Molecular Communication System
Sidra Zafar, Waqas Aman, Muhammad Mahboob Ur Rahman +2
Consider impersonation attack by an active malicious nano node (Eve) on a diffusion based molecular communication (DbMC) system---Eve transmits during the idle slots to deceive the…
On the Impact of Mode Selection on Effective Capacity of Device-to-Device Communication
Syed Waqas Haider Shah, M. Mahboob ur Rahman, Adnan N. Mian +3
Consider a device to device (D2D) link which utilizes the mode selection to decide between the direct mode and cellular mode. This paper investigates the impact of mode selection o…
Power Imbalance Detection in Smart Grid via Grid Frequency Deviations: A Hidden Markov Model based Approach
Shah Hassan, Hadia Sajjad, Muhammad Mahboob Ur Rahman
We detect the deviation of the grid frequency from the nominal value (i.e., 50 Hz), which itself is an indicator of the power imbalance (i.e., mismatch between power generation and…
