A Bluetooth finder is a small battery-powered device that can be attached to important items such as bags, keychains, or bikes. The finder maintains a Bluetooth connection with the user's phone, and the user is notified immediately on…
The article presents a method of organizing men-in-the-middle attack and penetration test on Bluetooth Low Energy devices and ZigBee packets using software define radio with sniffing and spoofing packets, capture and analysis techniques on…
Bluetooth is among the dominant standards for wireless short-range communication with multi-billion Bluetooth devices shipped each year. Basic Bluetooth analysis inside consumer hardware such as smartphones can be accomplished observing the…
On demand sensing is emerging as a key paradigm in Internet of Things (IoT) systems, where devices remain in low power states and transmit data only upon event triggers. Such an operation requires wireless communication schemes that provide…
Smart factories leverage advanced technologies to optimize manufacturing processes and enhance efficiency. Implementing worker tracking systems, primarily through camera-based methods, ensures accurate monitoring. However, concerns about…
For a non-technical audience, new concepts from computer science and engineering are often hard to grasp. In order to introduce a general audience to topics related to Industry 4.0, we designed and developed a demonstrator game. The…
This article discusses the available Software Defined Radios (SDRs), compatible software, message formats, and also shows how it is possible to do penetration tests using SDR for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and ZigBee technologies.
Previous contact tracing systems required the users to perform many manual actions, such as installing smartphone applications, joining wireless networks, or carrying custom user devices. This increases the barrier to entry and lowers the…
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is fundamentally constrained by limited wireless bandwidth, resulting in low imaging resolution and frame rate, which can cause motion blur and missed lesions. Although adaptive frame-rate schemes have been…
With more than 4 billion devices produced in 2020, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) have become the backbone of the Internet of Things. Bluetooth and BLE mitigate interference in the crowded 2.4 GHz band via Adaptive Frequency…
After the rise of E-commerce, social media and messenger bots, rapid developments have been made in the field of connecting things, gadgets, and devices, i.e, the Internet of Things (IoT). In the fast-paced lifestyle, it is very difficult…
Mobile communication systems now constitute an essential part of life throughout the world. Fourth generation "Long Term Evolution" (LTE) mobile communication networks are being deployed. The LTE suite of specifications is considered to be…
The Bluetooth standard specifies two transports: Bluetooth Classic (BT) for high-throughput wireless services and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for very low-power scenarios. BT and BLE have dedicated pairing protocols and devices have to pair…
