      Securing wireless communication using different techniques has been an interesting topic for research, especially with the increasing demand on fast and secure transmission. In this research, we conduct a performance ...
    • Full-Duplex Jamming and Interception Analysis of UAV-Based Intrusion Links 

      Abughalwa M.; Samara L.; Hasna , Mazen; Hamila R. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article)
      This letter addresses the evaluation of the performance of a full-duplex (FD) jammer and intercepting node, where the FD node attempts to disrupt the communication link of an intruding unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The ...
    • On the Average Secrecy Outage Rate and Average Secrecy Outage Duration of Wiretap Channels with Rician Fading 

      Abughalwa M.; Omri A.; Hasna M.O. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      In this paper, we study important physical layer security metrics over wiretap channels with Rician fading. We derive the average secrecy outage rate (ASOR) expression to quantify the average secrecy zero level crossing ...
    • Smart Grid Cybersecurity: Standards and Technical Countermeasures 

      Hussain S.; Meraj M.; Abughalwa M.; Shikfa A. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      Cybersecurity in smart grids is of critical importance given the heavy reliance of modern societies on electricity and the recent cyberattacks that resulted in blackouts. The evolution of the legacy electric grid to a ...
