In an effort to overcome the spectral efficiency loss and high latency by half-duplex (HD), full-duplex (FD) has attracted extensive attention in industry and academia. With signal transmitted and received simultaneously over the same frequency, FD can approximately double the SE over HD. More than that, by enabling the capability of simultaneous transmission-and-reception for communication nodes, full duplex (FD) is a key enabler for many 5G techniques, including but not limited to integrated sensing and communication, low-latency relaying, concurrent bi-directional uplink and downlink...

This book introduces the fundamentals of physical layer security (PLS) and demonstrates how a variety of PLS techniques can be applied to improve the security of wireless communication systems. In particular, this book covers three security aspects of wireless communications. It includes secrecy, i.e., preventing eavesdroppers from intercepting information from transmitted wireless signals, covertness, i.e., hiding the transmitted signals themselves from malicious wardens and authentication, i.e., authenticating the identities of communicating entities. 

When discussing the secrecy...

This book investigates decentralized trust-based privacy-preserving solutions in smart cities. The authors first present an overview of smart cities and privacy challenges and discuss the benefits of adopting decentralized trust models in achieving privacy preservation. The authors then give a comprehensive review of fundamental decentralized techniques and privacy-preserving cryptographic techniques. The next four chapters each detail a decentralized trust-based scheme, focusing respectively on privacy-preserving identity management, cross-domain authentication, data analytics, and data...
