Abstract
Wireless networks are becoming an essential concept of modern computing and services. It provides lot of advantages such as mobility and comfort. At the same time the security of wireless Networks are not so good. The efforts are being made to have wireless networks as safety as their wired counterparts. As an effort in this direction, the concept of providing security with the sectored antennas is discussed in this paper.

Multi-sector-based WLAN base station signal receiving and transmitting method

Ke Youyi
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-sector-based WLAN base station adopts a plurality of sector switching mechanisms, each sector corresponds to one group of 3*3 multi-input multi-output (MIMO), and a sector network card chip mainly serves as a receiver, corresponds to the sector and is in charge of receiving data of the corresponding sector.

Secure space-time communication

TL;DR: The principal conclusions of this paper are that proper exploitation of space-time diversity at the transmitter can also enhance information security and information-hiding capabilities and it is shown that significant gains are achievable when the transmitter and the client receiver are both informed about their channel while the transmitters and eavesdropper receiver are uniformed about theirChannel.
