“…WiMAX is for global cooperation for microwave access and is a wireless technique that enables the provision of wireless fast broadband connections that are an alternative to a conventional digital subscriber line (DSL) [142]. This standard offers fast information rates [143], quality of service (QoS) [144], and wide coverage compared to WLAN [145,146]. WiMAX was launched in 1999 to provide the conditions for wideband wireless metropolitan area networks [147].…”

This review paper discusses the complete evolution of free-space optical (FSO) communication, also known as unguided optical communication (UOC) technologies, all the way back to ancient man’s fire to today’s machine-learning-supported UOC systems. The principles, significance, and developments that have happened over the past several decades, as well as installation methodologies, technological limitations, and today’s challenges of UOCs are presented. All the subsets of UOC: FSO communication, underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC), and visible light communication (VLC), with their technology/system developments, potential applications, and limitations are reviewed. The state-of-the-art developments/achievements in (i) FSO channel effects and their mitigation techniques; (ii) radio-over-FSO techniques; (iii) wavelength division multiplexing and sub-carrier multiplexing techniques; (iv) FSO for worldwide interoperability for microwave access applications; (v) space optical satellite communication (SOSC); (vi) UWOC; (vii) photoacoustic communication (PAC); (viii) light-fidelity; (ix) VLC; (x) vehicular VLC (V2LC); and (xi) optical camera communication are reviewed. In addition, the current developments on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (to improve the performance of UOC systems), energy harvesting (for the effective utilization of UOC channels), and near-future communication network scenarios (mandatory for secured broadband digital links) are covered. Finally, in brief, to achieve the full potential of UOC systems, challenges that require immediate research attention are summarized.

“…The considered technologies are heavily used in IoT. A large majority have studied security attacks considering multiple wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, WiMax, UMTS, LTE, and WSNs 5 [88]- [90], whereas others have chosen to survey attacks in one particular wireless communication technology, e.g., Wi-Fi [91]- [94], Bluetooth [95]- [102], ZigBee (or IEEE 802.15.4) [103]- [107], RFID [108]- [114], 6LoWPAN (Ipv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks) [115]- [118], LoRaWAN [119]- [121], Zwave and Thread [122], WiMax [123]- [128], and 4G (i.e., LTE) or 5G [129]- [131]. Table 1 summarizes the three IoT security attack research directions (i.e., RD1, RD2, and RD3), with respect to the considered IoT applications (Column 2), IoT wireless communication technologies (Column 3), IoT network architectures (Column 4), and IoT security services (Column 5).…”

The Internet of Things, abbreviated as IoT, is a new networking paradigm composed of wireless and wired networks, geographically distributed and interconnected by a ''secured'' backbone, essentially, the Internet. It connects billions of heterogeneous devices, called Things, using different communication technologies and provides end-users, all over the world, with a variety of smart applications. IoT constitutes a new evolution for the Internet in terms of diversity, size, and applications. It also invites cybercriminals who exploit IoT infrastructures to conduct large scale, distributed, and devastating cyberattacks that may have serious consequences. The security of IoT infrastructures strongly depends on the security of its wired and wireless infrastructures. Still, the wireless infrastructures are thought to be the most outspread, important, and vulnerable part of IoT. To achieve the security goals in the wireless infrastructures of IoT, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of IoT attacks, their classification, and security solutions in such infrastructures. In this paper, we provide a survey of attacks related to the wireless infrastructures of IoT in general, and to the most used short-range wireless communication technologies in the resource-constrained part of IoT in particular. Namely, we consider Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and RFID wireless communication technologies. The paper also provides a taxonomy of these attacks based on a security service-based attack classification and discusses existing security defenses and mechanisms that mitigate certain attacks as well as the limitations of these security mechanisms.
