A Comparison between Different Meta-Heuristic Techniques in Power Allocation for Physical Layer Security

Node cooperation can protect wireless networks from eavesdropping by using the physical characteristics of wireless channels rather than cryptographic methods. Allocating the proper amount of power to cooperative nodes is a challenging task. In this paper, we use three cooperative nodes, one as relay to increase throughput at the destination and two friendly jammers to degrade eavesdropper&rsqu...

Guest Editorial: Cross-Layer Design for Future Generation Wireless Networks

With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the future generation wireless networks have more challenges for providing reliable and high quality end-to-end performance in wireless multimedia communications. A cross-layer design has become a popular topic in which more and more researchers are engaged. That leads to a lot of cross-layer design proposals for wireless networks. This speci...
