Performance analysis and improvement of link adaptation techniques in TDD-HSDPA/SA system by CHEN Shu-ping, DU Jiu-hui, WANG Wen-bo

“…The wireless channel fluctuation resulted from smart antennas in TDD-HSDPA/SA（time division duplex-high speed downlink packet access /smart antennas）system,which caused traditional link adaptation technologies invalid,was theoretically investigated.Two kinds of novel link adaptation schemes were proposed to deal with this issue.A dynamic system level simulator was established to evaluate the performances of the two schemes.Simulation results indicate that both of them have great improvement in system residual BLER and have certain system throughput gain.The first one suits for the hybrid networking case of TDD and FDD（frequency division duplex）mode,while the second one can serve the case of alone TDD networking.…”

AC Optimal Power Flow: a Conic Programming relaxation and an iterative MILP scheme for Global Optimization by Oustry, Antoine

“…We introduce valid inequalities to strengthen the Semidefinite Programming relaxation, yielding a novel Conic Programming relaxation. Leveraging these Conic Programming constraints, we dynamically generate Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) relaxations, whose solutions asymptotically converge to global minimizers of the AC Optimal Power Flow problem. …”

Password-based three-party authenticated key exchange protocol from lattices by Jinxia YU, Huanhuan LIAN, Yongli TANG, Mengyao SHI, Zongqu ZHAO

“…Password-based three-party authenticated key exchange protocol allow clients to establish a protected session key through a server over insecure channels.Most of the existing PAKE protocols on lattices were designed for the two parties,which could not be applied to large-scale communication systems,so a novel three-party PAKE protocol from lattices was proposed.The PAKE protocol was constructed by using a splittable public-key encryption scheme and an associated approximate smooth projective Hash function,and message authentication mechanism was introduced in the protocol to resist replay attacks.Compared with the similar protocols,the new protocol reduces the number of communication round and improves the efficiency and the security of protocol applications.…”

Routing protocol based on energy aware in ad hoc networks by Shi ZHENG, Wei-qiang WU, Qin-yu ZHANG, Nai-tong ZHANG

“…An energy-aware routing protocol (EARP) was presented to minimize the effect of limit energy supply of terminals in ad hoc network.In the novel protocol,different transmission paths based on service state of single node and energy consumption of the whole network could be chosen.When transmission path was broken,local maintaining strategy was evoked to reduce re-transmission of data packets and therefore route efficiency was improved.Moreover,node energy levels were introduced to avoid transmission link brake caused by energy exhaustion.Simulations were carried out on NS2 platform.The results show that,in the same simulation environment,comparing to other routing protocols,this routing protocol performs more effectively on balancing the traffic load,protecting low energy nodes and prolonging the network lifetime.…”

Integrated intrusion detection model based on rough set and artificial immune by Ling ZHANG, Zhong-ying BAI, Shou-shan LUO, Kang XIE, Guan-ning CUI, Mao-hua SUN

“…According to the problems of intrusion detection,an integrated intrusion detection model based on rough set and artificial immune (RSAI-IID) was proposed by using rough set and integrating misuse detection and anomaly detection.The rough set method was used to achieve the vaccine which was injected in the model,to get better vaccine,and to optimum the performances of detection; misuse detection was used to get off the known intrusions; anomaly detection was used to detect the novel intrusions.RSAI-IID model was validated on KDD 99 dataset.The experimental results show its feasibility and effectiveness.…”
