As demand for wireless broadband grows, so does the importance of cellular base station (BTS) performance. The low noise amplifier (LNA) on the antenna tower is a key element in establishing BTS performance, affecting both the base station’s area of coverage and its tolerance of other nearby transmitters. Integrated LNAs with active bias regulators, such as Avago Technology’s MGA-63x family, pr...

This paper presents a development of dynamic base station for Wireless sensor network application, which highly capable to adapt itself for any other application in WSN. The proposed base station system has more memory, higher processing and communication capabilities. This system is able to query sensor data, process them, store them and deliver that data to user's cell phone, instantly. The b...

We consider the base station placement problem for wireless sensor networks with successive interference cancellation (SIC) to improve throughput. We build a mathematical model for SIC. Although this model cannot be solved directly, it enables us to identify a necessary condition for SIC on distances from sensor nodes to the base station. Based on this relationship, we propose to divide the fea...

The growing awareness towards energy efficient cellular networks has paved way for new technologies in designing green cellular networks. According to technical analysts, the base stations are the most energy intensive part of a typical cellular network. Saving power in base stations is therefore the primary focus in green cellular networks. The main goal of designing green base stations is for...

We address to problem of detecting a rogue base station (BS) in WiMax/802.16 wireless access networks. A rogue BS is a malicious station that impersonates a legitimate access point (AP). The rogue BS attack represents a major denial-of-service threat against wireless networks. Our approach is based on the observation that inconsistencies in the signal strength reports received by the mobile sta...

The techniques used in GSM networks for mobile station localization typically use several methods with different level of granularity, based on the base network parameters such as Cell Identification, Timing Advance, the position of Base Transceiver Station, the parameters of Base Transceiver Station antenna etc. This article introduces several others parameters that can be used for network des...

In adaptive mobile network like battle fields or military applications, the base station configuration may change dynamically. Mobile nodes communicate via a base station and can move freely. This dynamic change together with the constraints make the assignment of mobile nodes to base stations difficult. In this paper, we propose the polynomial-time algorithms to find a good partitioning of mob...

Wireless sensor networks that are deployed in applications such as battlefield monitoring and home sentry systems face acute security concerns, including eavesdropping, forgery of sensor data, denial of service attacks, and the physical compromise of sensor nodes. Sensor networks are often organized hierarchically, with a base station serving as a gateway for collecting data from a multi-hop ne...

Nowadays, one of the most important challenges in heterogeneous networks is the connection consistency between the mobile station and the base stations. Furthermore, along the roaming process between the mobile station and the base station, the system performance degrades significantly due to the interferences from neighboring base stations, handovers to inaccurate base station and inappropriat...
