Understanding and characterizing the vulnerability of urban infrastructures, which refers to the engineering facilities essential for the regular running of cities and that exist naturally in the form of networks, is of great value to us.…

We consider the problem of communication over a multi-path network in the presence of a causal adversary. The limited-view causal adversary is able to eavesdrop on a subset of links and also jam on a potentially overlapping subset of links…

The connections in many networks are not merely binary entities, either present or not, but have associated weights that record their strengths relative to one another. Recent studies of networks have, by and large, steered clear of such…

Complex networks often have a modular structure, where a number of tightly- connected groups of nodes (modules) have relatively few interconnections. Modularity had been shown to have an important effect on the evolution and stability of…

Communication networks are important infrastructures in contemporary society. There are still many challenges that are not fully solved and new solutions are proposed continuously in this active research area. In recent years, to model the…

In recent years, a significant amount of research has been conducted to explore the benefits of network coding in different scenarios, from both theoretical and simulation perspectives. In this paper, we utilize queueing theory to propose…

Modern communication networks are inherently complex in nature. First of all, they have a large number of heterogeneous components. Secondly, their connectivity is extremely dynamic. Nodes can come and go, links can be removed and added…

We address the problem of inferring the topology of a wireless network using limited observational data. Specifically, we assume that we can detect when a node is transmitting, but no further information regarding the transmission is…

Inhomogeneity in networks can be detected by the analysis of the correlation of the total degree of nearest neighbors. This is illustrated by two models. The first one is a random multi-partitions network that the Aboav Weaire law, which…

Much work has been devoted to studying percolation of networks and interdependent networks under varying levels of failures. Researchers have considered many different realistic network structures, but thus far no study has incorporated the…

Wireless sensor networks are an important technology for making distributed autonomous measures in hostile or inaccessible environments. Among the challenges they pose, the way data travel among them is a relevant issue since their…

Wireless jamming identification, which detects and classifies electromagnetic jamming from non-cooperative devices, is crucial for emerging low-altitude wireless networks consisting of many drone terminals that are highly susceptible to…

Cooperative jamming is an approach that has been recently proposed for improving physical layer based security for wireless networks in the presence of an eavesdropper. While the source transmits its message to its destination, a relay node…

We consider that a transmitter covertly communicates with multiple receivers under the help of a friendly jammer. The messages intended for different receivers are transmitted in mutually orthogonal frequency bands. An adversary observes…

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are composed of spatially distributed sensors and are considered vulnerable to attacks by worms and their variants. Due to the distinct strategies of worms propagation, the dynamic behavior varies depending…
