On the other hand, according to the application fields of motion sensors and their frequent use, the need for hydrogel with desirable mechanical properties such as remarkable toughness, self-healing property after damage and dynamic stability is felt.Therefore, in this article, the recent advances for the preparation of hydrogel with high electrica
In this paper, we present a novel key-indexed channel phase permutation method designed to enhance the security of physical-layer (PHY) authentication in the presence of correlated sub-channels.In wireless communication, secret keys should be protected from eavesdroppers, as unauthorized access to these keys may compromise user security, expose sen
