Modern secure email protocol relies on PGP encryption to ensure privacy. However, while PGP can confirm message body authenticity and privacy, it fails to provide anonymity. This is because it leaves all identifying headers of an email such as IP and email addresses in plain text. As a result, users are often left vulnerable when communicating with compromised machines. We propose Pseudo, an SM...

Zero-error communication over a primitive relay channel is for the first time proposed and studied. This model is used to highlight how one may exploit the channel structure to design a relaying strategy that explicitly provides “what destination needs”. We propose the Colour-and-Forward relaying scheme which constructs a graph GR of relay outputs based on the joint conditional distribution of ...

In modern transmission networks, relay plays an important role for cooperative strategies. Several relaying strategies, such as decode-forward, compress-forward and amplify-forward, have been proposed for relay channels and networks. However, the capacity for the general relay channel and network is still unknown. In this thesis, we propose several relay schemes for different relay models. In t...

We proposed a new physical layer technique that can enhance the security of cooperative relay communications. The proposed approach modifies the decoded message at the relay according to the unique channel state between the relay and the destination such that the destination can utilize the modified message to its advantage while the eavesdropper cannot. We present a practical method for secure...

This work concerns minimizing the achievable distortion of a Gaussian source over a two-hop block fading channel under mean square-error criterion. It is assumed that there is not a direct link between transmission ends and the communication is carried out through the use of a relay, employing the Decode and Forward (DF) strategy. Moreover, for both of transmitter-to-relay and relay-to-destinat...

In this paper, we explore the impacts of utilizing intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in a power-splitting based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (PS-SWIPT) system and compare its performance with the traditional decode and forward relaying system. To analyze a more practical system, it is also assumed that the receiving nodes are subject to decoding cost, and they are on...

We consider a state-dependent three-terminal full-duplex relay channel with the channel states noncausally available at only the source, that is, neither at the relay nor at the destination. This model has application to cooperation over certain wireless channels with asymmetric cognition capabilities and cognitive interference relay channels. We establish lower bounds on the channel capacity f...

the design and application of a fuzzy logic based controller to a leakage current relay waspresented in this paper. a novel approach based on fuzzy logic to form the tripping action of leakagecurrent relay was investigated. in addition to the theoretical aspect of fuzzy logic, detection of a leakagecurrent, measurement of the leakage current, determination of its duration, trip opening of fault...

In this paper, we address the problem of communication over the relay channel from the perspective of a stochastic game and evaluate the fundamental tradeoffs between direct communication and relaying through a detailed foray into the questions of throughput, delay and energy-efficiency. We consider a simple wireless ad-hoc network with a transmitter, a relay and a common destination. The relay...
