Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for the Downlink and the Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) for the Uplink as well as turbo coding. This paper presents a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design and implementation of the transmitter of the LTE downlink physical layer according

more as an interference-inducing nuisance in most wireless networks today (e.g., IEEE 802.11). The goal of this paper is to show how the concept of network coding can be applied at the physical layer to turn the broadcast property into a capacity-boosting advantage in wireless ad hoc networks

Authentication is the process where claims of identity are verified. Though authentication mechanisms typically exist above the physical layer, physical layer methods have recently been introduced that do not require extra bandwidth. In this paper we propose a multi-carrier extension to the work

Abstract—Authentication is the process where claims of identity are verified. Most mechanisms of authentication (e.g., digital signatures and certificates) exist above the physical layer, though some (e.g., spread-spectrum communications) exist at the physical layer often with an additional cost

The engineering development of the FDDI physical layer resulted in the delivery of components, specifications, and protocols. The development presented new design problems related to the technology and to the operation of token rings. The choice of the most appropriate technologies for the chip set

Physical-layer identification of wireless devices, commonly referred to as Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting, is the process of identifying a device based on transmission imperfections exhibited by its radio transceiver. It can be used to improve access control in wireless networks, prevent

Abstract—The physical layer describes how communication signals are encoded and transmitted across a channel. Physical security often requires either restricting access to the channel or performing periodic manual inspections. In this tutorial, we describe how the field of quantum communication

This article provides an overview on the topic of ad hoc network performance anal-ysis, mainly from a physical layer standpoint. The emphasis of the paper is on how the individual link and network performance can be evaluated in an analytically tractable manner, such that design insights can
