Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Multimedia in Radio Communication and Teleinformatics”, is dedicated to original articles and extended versions of papers published in the context of the “Conference of Radiocommunications and ICT (KRiT)”.

This Special Issue focuses on the latest research and applications in multimedia telecommunications networks. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other emerging technologies, there is a growing need for efficient and reliable multimedia radio transmission in various settings. This includes local multimedia WLAN wireless networks, multimedia wireless sensor and ad hoc networks, and multimedia sea, air and satellite radio communication.

In addition, this Special Issue aims to explore multimedia systems and radio communication networks for special applications, such as radio and television systems and networks. The use of multimedia techniques, architectures and telecommunications protocols is also of great interest.

The integration of multimedia systems and ICT networks, as well as multimedia applications and services on the Internet, pose significant challenges related to quality of service (QoS), quality of experience (QoE) and reliability. Therefore, optimization and artificial intelligence algorithms are needed to enhance multimedia telecommunications networks.

Solutions for multimedia systems and cloud networks are also a priority, along with ensuring the security of multimedia networks and ICT systems through cryptography and cybersecurity mechanisms. Network aspects of the Internet of Things multimedia systems and measurements in multimedia telecommunications will also be discussed.

Finally, legal, economic and social aspects in multimedia telecommunications will be examined, as they play an essential role in shaping the development and deployment of these technologies.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Multimedia radio transmission in Internet of Things systems;
  • Local multimedia WLAN wireless networks;
  • Multimedia wireless sensor and ad hoc networks;
  • Multimedia sea, air and satellite radio communication;
  • Multimedia systems and radio communication networks for special applications;
  • Radio and television systems and networks;
  • Multimedia techniques;
  • Multimedia architectures and telecommunications protocols;
  • Multimedia systems and ICT networks;
  • Multimedia applications and services on the Internet;
  • Quality of services and reliability of multimedia ICT networks;
  • Optimization and artificial intelligence algorithms in multimedia telecommunications networks;
  • Solutions for multimedia systems and cloud networks;
  • Security of multimedia networks and ICT systems;
  • Cryptography and cybersecurity mechanisms in multimedia;
  • Network aspects of multimedia systems of the Internet of Things;
  • Measurements in multimedia telecommunications;
  • Legal, economic and social aspects in multimedia telecommunications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Fake base stations comprise a critical security issue in mobile networking. A fake base station exploits vulnerabilities in the broadcast message announcing a base station’s presence, which is called SIB1 in 4G LTE and 5G NR, to get user equipment to connect to the fake base station. Once connected, the fake base station can deprive the user of connectivity and access to the Internet/cloud. We discovered that a fake base station can disable the victim user equipment’s connectivity for an indefinite period of time, which we validated using our threat prototype against current 4G/5G practices. We designed and built a defense scheme which detects and blacklists a fake base station and then, informed by the detection, avoids it through link routing for connectivity availability. For detection and blacklisting, our scheme uses the real-time information of both the time duration and the number of request transmissions, the features of which are directly impacted by the fake base station’s threat and which have not been studied in previous research. Upon detection, our scheme takes an active measure called link routing, which is a novel concept in mobile/4G/5G networking, where the user equipment routes the connectivity request to another base station. To defend against a Sybil-capable fake base station, we use a history–reputation-based link routing scheme for routing and base station selection. We implemented both the base station and the user on software-defined radios using open-source 5G software (srsRAN v23.10 and Open5GS v2.6.6) for validation. We varied the base station implementation to simulate legitimate vs. faulty but legitimate vs. fake and malicious base stations, where a faulty base station notifies the user of the connectivity disruption and releases the session, while a fake base station continues to hold the session. We empirically analyzed the detection and identification thresholds, which vary with the fake base station’s power and the channel condition. By strategically selecting the threshold parameters, our scheme provides zero errors, including zero false positives, to avoid blacklisting a temporarily faulty base station that cannot provide connectivity at the time. Furthermore, our link routing scheme enables the base station to switch in order to restore the connectivity availability and limit the threat impact. We also discuss future directions to facilitate and encourage R&D in securing telecommunications and base station security. Full article

A study of video quality perceived by user (Quality of Experience, QoE) was conducted with an examination of whether and how the order and structure of the video sequence presentation affects subjective assessment. For this purpose, the influence of content variability/repeatability, the quality of the preceding sequence, and the sequence order were analyzed. Observations on the correlation of QoE with the micro-structure of sequence presentation are described, which can be the basis for hypotheses of the dependence of QoE assessment on the abovementioned factors. The observed relationships regarding the influence of the number of video repetitions and the impact of the predecessor’s quality on subjective evaluation are consistent with research work on the influence of the order/arrangement and structure of research stimuli on the results of subjective evaluations. Areas for further research are indicated, including relating obtained results in the area of QoE to other cognitive sciences, such as psychological, medical, and economic sciences. Full article
