Privacy: the more, the merrier?: A case study of how Amazon uses privacy protection to expand its power over IoT manufacturers

Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) have historically been used for safeguarding individual privacy from both public and private interference. But lately, tech companies have started using PETs as one instrument for the expansion of their power over different actors, as appears to be unfolding in the case of Amazon’s Sidewalk service: a United...

Integrating TETRA with Wireless Mesh Networks

Terrestrial Trunked Radio(TETRA) is a narrow band digital cellular network for Private Mobile Radio (PMR) communications mainly designed for voice communications with limited packet data capability because of band-width limitations. This limited packet data capability of TETRA is used for the integration of the TETRA network with wireless mesh...

A Framework For Coping With Intra-Node Adjacent Channel Interference In Multi- Channel Multi-Radio Mesh Networks

Typically, in a wireless data network, all devices use the same channel (i.e. the same frequency) so that they can easily communicate with each other. However, as node density increases, the throughput share of each device decreases due to contention of the wireless medium. It seems that the capacity problem in wireless mesh networks can be...
