Jammers for mobile cellular systems applied to unauthorized UAVs
This research aims to explore jamming on digital mobile systems, with an initial focus
towards the 2G and Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies.
The main goal is to develop a jammer with an efficiency and complexity greater than
the existent ones, capable to better disrupt digital mobile systems.
The study consists of an analysis of the different techniques of jamming, that can
disrupt the mobile cellular system’s communication, through a series of simulations using
the Software Defined Radio (SDR) and the GNU Radio ecosystem. The same techniques
will then be studied and evaluated in real life scenarios in order to select which one is the
best regarding spectral efficiency, energy and complexity.
Finally, the jammer returning the best results will be the one chosen to contribute
sustainably for the issue with flying drones on restrict areas, such as airports and residential zones, and thus, decrease the number of accidents which nowadays happen usually
with this kind of aircrafts.Neste estudo será feita uma abordagem ao jamming em sistemas móveis digitais, dando
um maior foco inicial à tecnologia 2G, Sistema Global para Comunicações Móveis (GSM).
O objetivo principal será o desenvolvimento de um sinal jammer, diferente dos já existentes em termos de eficiência e complexidade, capaz de causar interferência em sistemas
móveis celulares.
Será feito então uma análise às diferentes técnicas de interferência de sinal, capazes de perturbar a comunicação em sistemas móveis celulares, através da realização de
simulações a partir da tecnologia Software Defined Radio (SDR) nomeadamente, a plataforma GNU Radio. As mesmas técnicas também serão estudadas e avaliadas num cenário
real, de forma a fazer-se a seleção da melhor em termos de eficiência espectral, energia e
complexidade.
Finalmente, a técnica de jamming que demonstrar melhores resultados, irá representar
o jammer que poderá contribuir de forma sustentável para a problemática da circulação
de drones em zonas restritas, como aeroportos e zonas residenciais, para a diminuição dos
acidentes, atualmente registados, com este tipo de aeronaves
Evolution of High Throughput Satellite Systems: Vision, Requirements, and Key Technologies
High throughput satellites (HTS), with their digital payload technology, are
expected to play a key role as enablers of the upcoming 6G networks. HTS are
mainly designed to provide higher data rates and capacities. Fueled by
technological advancements including beamforming, advanced modulation
techniques, reconfigurable phased array technologies, and electronically
steerable antennas, HTS have emerged as a fundamental component for future
network generation. This paper offers a comprehensive state-of-the-art of HTS
systems, with a focus on standardization, patents, channel multiple access
techniques, routing, load balancing, and the role of software-defined
networking (SDN). In addition, we provide a vision for next-satellite systems
that we named as extremely-HTS (EHTS) toward autonomous satellites supported by
the main requirements and key technologies expected for these systems. The EHTS
system will be designed such that it maximizes spectrum reuse and data rates,
and flexibly steers the capacity to satisfy user demand. We introduce a novel
architecture for future regenerative payloads while summarizing the challenges
imposed by this architecture
Mobile Ad hoc Networking: Imperatives and Challenges
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and temporary, "ad-hoc" network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure, e.g., disaster recovery environments. Ad hoc networking concept is not a new one, having been around in various forms for over 20 years. Traditionally, tactical networks have been the only communication networking application that followed the ad hoc paradigm. Recently, the introduction of new technologies such as the Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 and Hyperlan are helping enable eventual commercial MANET deployments outside the military domain. These recent evolutions have been generating a renewed and growing interest in the research and development of MANET. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of this dynamic field. It first explains the important role that mobile ad hoc networks play in the evolution of future wireless technologies. Then, it reviews the latest research activities in these areas, including a summary of MANET\u27s characteristics, capabilities, applications, and design constraints. The paper concludes by presenting a set of challenges and problems requiring further research in the future
