BACKGROUND The purpose was to investigate mobile phone interference with implantable deep brain stimulators by means of 10 different 900 Mega Hertz (MHz) and 10 different 1800 MHz GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) mobile phones. METHODS All tests were performed in vitro using a phantom especially developed for testing with deep brain stimulators. The phantom was filled with liquid...

OBJECTIVE To test whether people who report being sensitive to mobile phone signals have more symptoms when exposed to a pulsing mobile signal than when exposed to a sham signal or a non-pulsing signal. DESIGN Double blind, randomised, within participants provocation study. SETTING Dedicated suite of offices at King's College London, between September 2003 and June 2005. PARTICIPANTS 60 "...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to examine whether acute exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (REFs) emitted by mobile phone may affect subjective symptoms. METHODS Three large groups of volunteers (total 496) were exposed to REFs emitted by mobile phones in one session and sham signals in a different session. REF and sham exposure sessions were counterbalanced and do...

The GSM system has become the most popular system for mobile communication in the world. Criminals commonly use GSM phones, and it is therefore a need for forensic investigators to understand which evidence can be obtained from the GSM system. This paper briefly explains the basics of the GSM system. Evidence items that can be obtained from the Mobile Equipment, the SIM and the core network are...

This paper describes the design and implementation of an SMS transmission system using the PDU (Protocol Data Unit) mode of a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) modem. The system may be used in several applications: telemetry or remote control, using short messages from a standard GSM mobile phone, and in other application circuits. In order to perform these applications, coding and ...

background: radiation-induced bystander effect is a response which results in damage in non-irradiated cells in response to signals from the irradiated cells. the aim of the present study was to investigate microwave-induced bystander effect from a gsm mobile phone simulator on induction of apoptosis in jurkat cell line. materials and methods: jurkat cells were divided into three groups of non-...

Mobile phones are two-way radios that emit electromagnetic radiation in microwave range. As the number of mobile phone users has reached 6 billion, the bioeffects of exposure to mobile phone radiation and mobile phone electromagnetic interference with electronic equipment have received more attention, globally. As self-monitoring of blood glucose can be a beneficial part of diabetes control, ho...

One of the fundamental mobile phone security problems in GSM is the absence of base station authentication, which allows man-in-the-middle attacks. During such attacks, a third party activates a fake base station, which acts as a bypass to the network, thus switching off the encryption and intercepting the user’s communications. 3G mobile networks enforce mutual authentication but this can be c...
