While doing a bit of reading on WiMesh networks, I bumped into a lot of literature about another form of wireless ad-hoc network called a Wireless Ad-hoc Sensor Network. People have been studying sensor management for quite sometime now. There is even an ACM publication dedicated to wireless sensor studies.
These types of networks will […]
After my previous blog entry about WMN and after a bit more reading, two (2) additional important properties emerged that add to the definition of wireless mesh networks (WMN). There two (2) properties are described in brief below.
Multi-hop. This is to differentiate it from regular Access Point (AP) type wireless networks, WMN has the ability […]
I was doing some browsing around and reading a bit about the new GSM mandated over-the-air communications cipher called A5/3 or the KASUMI cipher [3]. This is a more power cipher recommended as a replacement for the older A5/1 and A5/2 ciphers
[1] that have proven to be susceptible to real-time attack. Of course, I wanted […]
After getting to know more about wireless mesh networks (WMN), let us take a look at some of the possible security areas that affect it. Since, this involves networking it would probably be easier for the reader if this where discussed in terms of ISO-OSI network layers (roughly).

Possible Issues
Physical
Signal interference - distortion and blockage such […]
I have decided to open this category with a post on something I am personally doing research on. I will call this category ProjectWM. These are just random notes. But, hopefully, I can get some people interested enough to contribute a discussion or two in this blog. But, if you are shy then I can […]
It's hip2b2 in Yutivo.org is a technology blog about anything under the sun. However, normally, it talks about open source, mobile, Internet and information technology. Motto: "The Best Way to Learn is to Teach."
