Communications

The Internet of things (IoT) has emerged as a topic of intense interest among the research and industrial community as it has had a revolutionary impact on human life. The rapid growth of IoT technology has revolutionized human life by inaugurating the concept of smart devices, smart healthcare, smart industry, smart city, smart grid, among others. IoT devices’ security has become a serious concern nowadays, especially for the healthcare domain, where recent attacks exposed damaging IoT security vulnerabilities. Traditional network security solutions are well established.

Wide area control (WAC) in smart grid requires low-latency communications across the grid to transfer various control commands and Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) measurements. \textcolor{red}{Smart grid communications are generally implemented between multiple control centers, between transformer substations and control centers, and between power plants and control centers}.

Data of some synthesized antenna array layouts and animations to show the Isophoric IDEA optimization process; some *.mp4 animations of the optimization process are also provided.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoTs) are high-value cyber targets due to the nature of the devices and connectivity protocols they deploy. They are easy to compromise and, as they are connected on a large scale with high-value data content, the compromise of any single device can extend to the whole system and disrupt critical functions. There are various security solutions that detect and mitigate intrusions.
