Stationary multi-magnetometer arrays are routinely deployed in geomagnetic observatories, laboratory shielded rooms, and ground-based monitoring stations. The standard analysis pipeline reduces each sensor to an independent power spectrum,…
A requirement of cross-modal signal processing is accurate signal alignment. Though simple on a single device, accurate signal synchronization becomes challenging as soon as multiple devices are involved, such as during activity monitoring,…
Spectrum sharing mechanisms need to be carefully designed to enable inter-technology coexistence in the unlicensed bands, as these bands are an instance of a spectrum commons where heterogeneous technologies and deployments must coexist.…
A typical handover problem requires sequence of complex signaling between a UE, the serving, and target base station. In many handover problems the down link based measurements are transferred from a user equipment to a serving base station…
Convergence of multiple access technologies is one of the key enablers in providing a diverse set of services to the Fifth Generation (5G) users. Though the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5G standard defines a common core…
With the advent of 5G, mobile networks are becoming more dynamic and will therefore present a wider attack surface. To secure these new systems, we propose a multi-domain anomaly detection method that is distinguished by the study of…
3GPP release 15 focusing on 5G general outline has been published in December 2017. The major difference with respect to currently deployed LTE is the support of various physical layer numerologies. Making the physical layer scalable allows…
5G mobile networks are vulnerable to jamming attacks that may jeopardize valuable applications such as industry automation. In this paper, we propose to analyze radio signals with a dedicated device to detect jamming attacks. We pursue a…
Benchmarking presence-only passive reconnaissance in smart-grid communications is challenging because the adversary is receive-only, yet nearby observers can still alter propagation through additional shadowing and multipath that reshapes…
The 3.7 - 3.98 GHz frequency band (also known as C-band) was recently allocated in the US for the deployment of 5G cellular services. Prior to this, the lower adjacent band, 3.55 - 3.7 GHz, had been allocated to Citizens Broadband Radio…
