This book serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners seeking solutions to wireless security and privacy related issues Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have enabled the large-scale deployment of next-generation wireless networks, and many other wireless applications are emerging.

With the revolutionary technology advancement and the global population aging, there has been increasing recognition of the importance of the use of information and computer technology (ICT) among older people, and the need for ICT inclusivity to ensure that all older individuals can benefit equally from the modern technology. ICT use is also considered to has the potential to promote healthy longevity by telehealth and health monitoring, social connections, cognitive stimulation, access to information, and lifelong learning, among others.Although there are growing empirical studies on ICT use at older ages, a good summary and review of the current findings, especially from those of non-Western societies, is largely absent. Based on a wide range of evidence-based analyses and real-world examples  and a more refined scheme of measures, this book presents the most updated findings in the field, conducts analyses from cross-national and multicultural lens, and offers multidisciplinary and comprehensive insights on how individual, cultural, societal, and institutional factors shape ICT use and healthy aging across nations.The wide scope and the holistic approach of the book makes it a timely and valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, healthcare professionals, other stakeholders, and anyone interested in understanding the role of ICT in promoting healthy aging and improving the lives of older adults.

This book provides a comprehensive study of the state of the art in location privacy for mobile applications. It presents an integrated five-part framework for location privacy research, which includes the analysis of location privacy definitions, attacks and adversaries, location privacy protection methods, location privacy metrics, and location-based mobile applications. In addition, it analyses the relationships between the various elements of location privacy, and elaborates on real-world attacks in a specific application. Furthermore, the book features case studies of three applications and shares valuable insights into future research directions. Shedding new light on key research issues in location privacy and promoting the advance and development of future location-based mobile applications, it will be of interest to a broad readership, from students to researchers and engineers in the field.

This book investigates in detail some new spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) structures and their applications to antenna. It introduces the working principle and radiation characteristics of directional antenna, omnidirectional antenna, reconfigurable antenna and phase-mode antenna based on SSPPs structure. Especially, the irregular SSPPs structure, such as T-shaped and m-shaped SSPPs structures, is introduced to low-profile end-fire antenna with vertical polarization; the rotated SSPPs structure is applied to CP end-fire antenna and omnidirectional antenna; PIN circuit combining with SSPPs structure is used to pattern reconfigurable antenna; the novel phase-mode SSPPs antennas with multi-modes are performed too.This book proposes a continuous method to develop the potentialities of the SSPPs antenna. And the readers can study the method or ideas of the SSPPs antenna, even graft the methods to other SSPPs antenna.The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in SSPPs antenna technology, researchers investigating high-performance antenna, and antenna design engineers working on multi-function antenna applications.
