Much attention has recently been paid to methods of shared secret key generation that exploit the random characteristics of the amplitude and phase of a received signal and common channel symmetry in wireless communication systems. Protocols based on the phase of a received signal, due to the uniform distribution phase of fading channel, are suitable in both static and dynamic environments and, they have a key generation rate (KGR) higher than protocols based on received signal strength (RSS).In addition, previous works have generally focused on key generation protocol for single-antenna (SISO) systems but these have not produced a significant KGR. So in this paper to increase the randomness and key generation rate are used received signal phase estimations on multiple-antenna (MIMO) systems because they have the potential to present more random variables in key generation compared to SISO systems. The results of simulation show that the KGR of the proposed protocol is 4 and 9 times more than the KGR of a SISO system, when the numbers of transmitter and receiver antennas are the same and equal to 2 and 3, respectively. Also, the key generation rate will increase considerably, when to extract the secret key bits using multilevel quantization.

Nowadays, analog to digital (A/D) converters are indistinguishable parts of system on chip (soC) structures because they omit the distance between analog real data and digital logic world. Due to this fact and ever increasing trend for using portable instruments, the figures of merit for design of these converters such as speed, power and occupied area are improved. Different methods are proposed to improve the performance of these converters. In this paper, we design a fast and low power ADC using carbon nano-tube field effect transistor (CNTFET) and then its performance is comprehensively compared with a MOSFET based counterpart at the same technology node. The performance is studied two encoders: ROM and Fat tree. The obtained results are presented using HSPICE simulator at 0.9 V power supply. The simulated data from CNTFET based converter shows significant improvements in delay and power compared with its CMOS based counterpart. The power and delay obtained from CNTFET based converter using ROM encoder are improved by 92.5% and 54% with respect to the same parameters obtained from CMOS based design while the improvements using a Fat tree encoder in CNTFET converter reaches 93% and 72% in comparison with CMOS conventional design.

This paper addresses the problem of distributed detection of stochastic sparse signals in a wireless sensor network. Observations/local likelihood ratios in each sensor node are quantized into 1-bit and sent to a fusion center (FC) through non-ideal channels. At the FC, we propose two sub-optimal detectors after that the data are fused based on the locally most powerful test (LMPT). We obtain the quantization threshold for each sensor node via an asymptotic analysis of the performance of the detector. It is realized that the quantization threshold depends on the bit error probability of the channels between the sensor nodes and the FC. Simulation results are carried out to confirm our theoretical analysis and to depict the performance of the proposed detectors.
