LTE Cellular Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT): Practical Projects for the Cloud and Data Visualization
by Hossam FattahNB-IoT is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology used for cellular communication. NB-IoT devices deliver much better capability and performance, such as: increased area coverage of up to one kilometer; a massive number of devices—up to 200,000—per a single base-station area; longer battery lifetime of ten years; and better indoor and outdoor coverage for areas with weak signal, such as underground garages. The cellular NB-IoT technology is a challenging technology to use and understand. With more than 30 projects presented in this book, covering many use cases and scenarios, this book provides hands-on and practical experience of how to use the cellular NB-IoT for smart applications using Arduino™, Amazon Cloud, Google Maps, and charts. The book starts by explaining AT commands used to configure the NB-IoT modem; data serialization and deserialization; how to set up the cloud for connecting NB-IoT devices; setting up rules, policy, security certificates, and a NoSQL database on the cloud; how to store and read data in the cloud; how to use Google Maps to visualize NB-IoT device geo-location; and how to use charts to visualize sensor datasets. Projects for Arduino are presented in four parts. The first part explains how to connect the device to the mobile operator and cellular network; perform communication using different network protocols, such as TCP, HTTP, SSL, or MQTT; how to use GPS for geo-location applications; and how to upgrade NB-IoT modem firmware over the air. The second part explains the microcontroller unit and how to build and run projects, such as a 7-segment display or a real-time clock. The third part explains how NB-IoT can be used with sensor devices, such as ultrasonic and environmental sensors. Finally, the fourth part explains how NB-IoT can be used to control actuators, such as stepper motors and relays. This book is a unique resource for understanding practical uses of the NB-IoT technology and serves as a handbook for technical and non-technical readers who are looking for practicing and exercising the cellular NB-IoT technology. The book can be used by engineers, students, researchers, system integrators, mobile operators’ technical staff, and electronics enthusiasts.

LTE Security
by Wolf-Dietrich Moeller Dan Forsberg Valtteri Niemi Günther HornA concise, updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security Standardization specificationsA welcome Revised Edition of the successful LTE Security addressing the security architecture for SAE/LTE, which is based on elements of the security architectures for GSM and 3G, but which needed a major redesign due to the significantly increased complexity, and different architectural and business requirements of fourth generation systems. The authors explain in detail the security mechanisms employed to meet these requirements. The specifications generated by standardization bodies only inform about how to implement the system (and this only to the extent required for interoperability), but almost never inform readers about why things are done the way they are. Furthermore, specifications tend to be readable only for a small group of experts and lack the context of the broader picture. The book fills this gap by providing first hand information from insiders who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPP, and can therefore explain the rationale for design decisions in this area.A concise, fully updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security Standardization specificationsDescribes the essential elements of LTE and SAE Security, written by leading experts who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPPExplains the rationale behind the standards specifications giving readers a broader understanding of the context to these specificationsIncludes new chapters covering 3GPP work on system enhancements for MTC, plus application layer security in ETSI TC M2M and embedded smart card in ETSI SCP; Security for Machine-type Communication, Relay Node Security, and Future Challenges, including Voice over LTE, MTC, Home base stations, LIPA/SIPTO, and New Cryptographic AlgorithmsEssential reading for System engineers, developers and people in technical sales working in the area of LTE and LTE security, communication engineers and software developers in mobile communication field.

LTE Security (Nsn/nokia Ser. #1)
by Wolf-Dietrich Moeller Dan Forsberg Valtteri Niemi Günther HornAddressing the security solutions for LTE, a cellular technology from Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), this book shows how LTE security substantially extends GSM and 3G security. It also encompasses the architectural aspects, known as SAE, to give a comprehensive resource on the topic. Although the security for SAE/LTE evolved from the security for GSM and 3G, due to different architectural and business requirements of fourth generation systems the SAE/LTE security architecture is substantially different from its predecessors. This book presents in detail the security mechanisms employed to meet these requirements. Whilst the industry standards inform how to implement systems, they do not provide readers with the underlying principles behind security specifications. LTE Security fills this gap by providing first hand information from 3GPP insiders who explain the rationale for design decisions. Key features: Provides a concise guide to the 3GPP/LTE Security Standardization specifications Authors are leading experts who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPP Shows how GSM and 3G security was enhanced and extended to meet the requirements of fourth generation systems Gives the rationale behind the standards specifications enabling readers to have a broader understanding of the context of these specifications Explains why LTE security solutions are designed as they are and how theoretical security mechanisms can be put to practical use

LTE-Advanced and Next Generation Wireless Networks
by Guillaume De La Roche Andres Alayon-Glazunov Ben AllenLTE- A and Next Generation Wireless Networks: Channel Modeling and Performance describes recent advances in propagation and channel modeling necessary for simulating next generation wireless systems. Due to the radio spectrum scarcity, two fundamental changes are anticipated compared to the current status. Firstly, the strict reservation of a specific band for a unique standard could evolve toward a priority policy allowing the co-existence of secondary users in a band allocated to a primary system. Secondly, a huge increase of the number of cells is expected by combining outdoor base stations with smaller cells such as pico/femto cells and relays. This evolution is accompanied with the emergence of cognitive radio that becomes a reality in terminals together with the development of self-organization capabilities and distributed cooperative behaviors. The book is divided into three parts: Part I addresses the fundamentals (e. g. technologies, channel modeling principles etc. ) Part II addresses propagation and modeling discussing topics such as indoor propagation, outdoor propagation, etc. Part III explores system performance and applications (e. g. MIMO Over-the-air testing, electromagnetic safety, etc).

La caída de las AFP
by MAURICIO WEIBELUna impactante investigación periodística que revela una historia de operaciones ilegales, fraudes y paraísos fiscales Después de cuarenta años desde que se privatizó el sistema de pensiones en Chile, durante la dictadura, las AFP han perdido su legitimidad social a golpe de irregularidades y pensiones bajo la línea de la pobreza para la gran mayoría de las personas. La más reciente investigación de Mauricio Weibel, autor de Traición a la patria, describe cómo un sistema que ampara la preeminencia del mercado sobre los derechos sociales, ha permitido el abuso y los fraudes a cuenta del futuro de los chilenos. El autor reconstruye la historia de los conflictos de interés y las operaciones ilegales que han atravesado el sistema privado de pensiones en Chile en los últimos años. Con testimonios inéditos y documentos exclusivos deja al descubierto una trama que incluye pensiones de invalidez negadas, desfalcos bursátiles, lujos castrenses y paraísos fiscales
La corrupción en el poder: Y el poder de la corrupción en Colombia
by Jorge Enrique RobledoUn libro llamado a revelar los niveles de corrupción, politiquería y demagogia a los que ha llegado Colombia: Transmilenio, Saludcoop, Isagén, Reficar y las Zidres. (Para ver las transcripciones de los debates del senador Robledo sobre los temas tratados en este libro por favor copie el siguiente link y péguelo en una ventana nueva: http://bit.ly/2h0EOqM ) Con la rigurosidad que lo caracteriza, Jorge Enrique Robledo explica de manera sencilla y directa qué hubo detrás de los grandes desfalcos y escándalos de corrupción en Colombia en los últimos años. Reconocido como uno de los senadores más respetados de Colombia, Robledo presenta un libro revelador que promete levantar ampolla: como resultado de una exhaustiva y valiente investigación revela los detalles más sorprendentes de cómo se han ejecutado proyectos y negocios que involucran las más estratosféricas sumas de dinero con el único objetivo de lucrar a empresarios y entregar beneficios non sanctos a representantes de diferentes gobiernos y a políticos colombianos. Su investigación devela los casos de Transmilenio en Bogotá, Reficar en Cartagena, Saludcoop, Isagén y las Zonas de Interés de Desarrollo Rural, Económico y Social (Zidres) que busca arrebatarle la tierra a los campesinos y mal usar los terrenos baldíos de la Nación para entregárselos a particulares.
La dictadura de los datos: La verdadera historia desde dentro de Cambridge Analytica y cómo el Big Data, Trump y Facebook corrompieron la democracia, y cómo puede volver a pasar
by Brittany KaiserBrittany Kaiser, una ex directiva de Cambridge Analytica, la empresa que se dedicó durante años a manipular procesos electorales en numerosos países del mundo, cuenta cómo fue que Facebook y las transnacionales de internet torcieron el proceso electoral en el que Donald Trump ganó la Presidencia de Estados Unidos.Ella revela cómo las políticas laxas de Facebook y la falta de leyes nacionales permitieron que los votantes fueran manipulados tanto en Gran Bretaña como en los Estados Unidos, donde se adjudicaron datos personales para difundir noticias falsas y mensajes racistas durante la votación del Brexit y la elección estadunidense de 2016. Pero el daño no ha terminado, advierte Kaiser. La elección de 2020 también puede verse comprometida.Kaiser tomó la difícil decisión de exponer la verdad arriesgando su carrera, sus relaciones y su seguridad personal. Habló a las autoridades sobre las prácticas comerciales poco éticas de la industria de los datos, y finalmente testificó ante el Congreso de los Estados Unidos, ayudando a la investigación del abogado Robert Mueller sobre la interferencia de Rusia en las elecciones de 2016, junto con al menos otras 10 investigaciones internacionales.Repleto de historias e ideas nunca antes contadas públicamente, Kaiser aboga por la regulación, argumentando que la supervisión legal de la industria de los datos no solo es justificable, sino esencial para garantizar la seguridad a largo plazo de nuestra democracia.
