Secure Modulations for Future Wireless Communications and Mobile Networks

Submission Deadline: 1 March 2018

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Secure Modulations for Future Wireless Communications and Mobile Networks.

Over the last several years, security has become an extremely important research topic in wireless networks because it is intimately related to both individual privacy and national security. Directional modulation, as a conventional type of secure modulations, transmits confidential information along the desired directions of legitimate receivers and artificial noise in other directions to deliberately confuse eavesdroppers in line-of-sight channels. Recently, artificial noise is also introduced into spatial modulation, resulting in a secure spatial modulation. In this Special Section in IEEE Access, secure modulation is defined broadly as any secure modulation method, which includes, but is not limited to secure directional modulation, secure spatial modulation, and secure index modulation.

Robust approaches, such as minimum mean square error and maximizing signal-to-leakage-and-noise-ratio, have been proposed for directional modulation to overcome its performance degradation caused by the estimation error in direction angles. These approaches can significantly improve the performance of directional modulation in terms of achieving a lower bit error rate or a higher secrecy rate.

For directional modulation, there exists the impact of multipath artificial noise aggregation due to multipath propagation in multipath fading channels. This impact notably degrades the performance of directional modulation systems and reducing it is a challenging problem

As an efficient tool for physical-layer security, secure modulations will work together with routing security and conventional cryptography to provide a three-fold protection for future wireless networks. Secure modulations schemes have been viewed as potential candidates for achieving secure, spectral-efficient, and energy-efficient future wireless networks, which can strike a good balance among security, spectrum-efficiency, and energy-efficiency.

Motivated by these observations, this Special Section in IEEE Access aims to capture the state-of-the-art advances in secure modulation concepts, such as secure directional modulation, spatial modulation, index modulation.), and other related research. This Special Section will trigger new research interest in secure modulation from both industry and academia, aiming to solve some challenging problems in the context of secure modulation techniques.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Robust design of secure modulations systems
  • Channel estimation and pilot optimization for secure modulations-OFDM systems
  • High-performance /Low complexity detectors for secure modulations systems
  • BER/SER performance analysis of secure modulations systems
  • Information theoretical aspects in secure modulations systems

Security and Privacy for Vehicular Networks

Submission Deadline: 15 August 2018

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Security and Privacy for Vehicular Networks.

In recent years, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and vehicles, especially cars, have developed a lot. More and more sensors and communication technologies (e.g., cloud computing) are integrated with cars, which opens up a new design space for vehicular-based applications. Prospectively, vehicular networks are envisioned to support vehicular-based, road-based and traffic-based data sensing, transmitting and processing for ITS applications, and eventually evolve towards a new paradigm, named Vehicular Networks (VNs), which bundle the characteristics of networks into vehicular networks. The social features and mobility patterns of vehicles are used to design efficient and effective message forwarding methods. In common, network analysis techniques (such as node centrality, similarity, and community structure) are employed to explore the vehicles’ attributes and behavior, discover their relationships, and study their implications.

Although VNs are expected to have wide-range applications in future ITS services, considerable technical issues are challenging and need to be solved. The performance of content dissemination in VNs heavily relies on the communication between vehicles, and the behaviors of human beings inside. similar to an online networks, both malicious behaviors could exist and users’ privacy could be exposed in VNs. Therefore, as a crucial content transmission and processing platform for ITS, VNs should inherently ensure security and privacy from cyber physical systems to users. For example, the ways to protect location privacy in vehicular networks have been actively studied in recent years, as the locations of vehicles are frequently used for authentication during the data transmission process, which makes it easier for attackers to launch attacks by threaten the location privacy of vehicles. Mitigating security attacks and protecting individual privacy by developing security-aware techniques are pressing needs for researchers in academia and industry.

The objective of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to collect articles on the state of the art and practices of vehicular networks. In particular, we are soliciting theoretical and applied research in security and privacy solutions including algorithms, modeling, technologies and applications.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Trust establishment and measurement for vehicular networks
  • Access authentication for vehicular networks
  • Analysis and optimization for modeling attacks for vehicular networks
  • Attack resistant in vehicular networks
  • Individual privacy protection in vehicular networks
  • Architecture, strategies and/or algorithms for security-based vehicular networking
  • Protocols, scheduling, and/or designs for security-based vehicular networking
  • Data storage, and data offloading for security-aware vehicles
  • Security and privacy-based method and protocols for Internet of Vehicles
  • Security and privacy solutions for vehicular cloud computing
  • Security handoff scheme between different network access for vehicles
  • Standards, policy and regulation for V2X communication systems considering security and privacy

Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks

Submission Deadline: 1 April 2017

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks.

The automotive industry has recently shifted from developing advanced vehicles to concentrating on safety and comfort; which stimulates the development of new intelligent vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems and even autonomous driving. However, the current technology development is still far from the practical requirements of autonomous driving. This is because the existing control approaches are mainly based on expensive sensors and cameras employed in the vehicle that hinder the development and popularization of intelligent vehicles. Thanks to wireless communication networks, vehicles can be connected and communicate to each other. Thus, the control of vehicles will become more reliable and cost-efficient with the communication between vehicles. Therefore, cooperatively controlling vehicles by employing reliable communications has become one of key research issues in the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication networks.

Due to the high mobility of vehicles and the dynamic change of the network topology, it is difficult to provide satisfied services only through a single wireless access network, such as the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) or the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Hence, to provide ubiquitous networks, Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks may well support the communication, control and computation requirements of intelligent vehicles. However it faces multiple critical challenges in designing efficient and flexible resource allocation algorithms since this requires the joint design and optimization of both communication, computing and control theory. This will play a very important role in the development of next generation intelligent vehicular networks.

The goal of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to provide the most recent research and developments on the enabling technologies for heterogeneous vehicular networks and to stimulate discussions on state-of-the-art and innovative aspects in the field. This Special Section focuses on advanced communication and control techniques for intelligent vehicles. Original research and review articles are encouraged. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):

  • Heterogeneous vehicular network architectures and services
  • Performance evaluation of radio technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Control protocol design in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Autonomous driving control technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Resource allocation and control in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Vehicle social networks in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Mobile cloud computing in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Software-Defined Networking(SDN) for supporting reliable control
  • Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Efficient Big Data analysis in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Mobile sensing networking in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Dynamic spectrum access technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Urban sensing for environment monitoring in heterogeneous vehicular networks
  • Security, privacy and trust in heterogeneous vehicular networks
