Study on self-similar call admission control algorithm in WiM AX by Yong-dong HU, Guo-xin WU, Ning QIAN, San-feng ZHANG

“…As to the self-similarity of WiMAX network traffic,M/Pareto model was proposed to model network traf-fic.Through the statistical nature between the M/Pareto model and FBM traffic model,the parameters of the M/Pareto were mapped to the ones of FBM traffic model.The effective bandwidth formula was derived for M/Pareto model para-meters.Whereby,a self-similar call admission control algorithm(SS-CAC)was designed.It avoided getting the parame-ter values of FBM traffic flow model with the measurem method and adapted to the self-similarity of WiMAX traffic.Since the calculation of the effective bandwidth was accurate and convenient,simulation results show that SS-CAC greatly reduces the call blocking rate and improves the bandwidth utilization.…”

Study on Probable Maximum Typhoon Storm Surge in Maozhou Estuary by JIANG Zisheng, WANG Qisong

“…Based on the analysis of the statistical characteristics of storm surges which have a great impact on the Maozhou estuary,this paper constructs a typhoon storm surge model based on ADCIRC storm surge model and jetsner wind pressure model,calibrates and verifies the parameters of the model through three typical months and ten typical typhoons,calculates the probable maximum typhoon storm surge when the typhoon lands in Macau with the heading direction of 340° by designing different parameter combinations among typhoon center pressure,moving speed,maximum wind speed radius and typhoon path,and simulates the water augmentation process of Maozhou estuary under the probable maximum storm surge.The calculation results can provide a reference for storm surge prevention and mitigation in Maozhou estuary engineering construction.…”

Two-level cache based streaming media scheduling algorithm for mobile network by LIAO Jian-xin, YANG Bo, ZHU Xiao-min, WANG Chun

“…A novel caching system architecture for mobile streaming was proposed,which was named 2CMSA（two-level cache mobile streaming architecture）.In this system,limitations for mobile streaming system such as small memory size in mobile terminal and low bandwidth in wireless access network were avoided.According to the 2CMSA,a scheduling algorithm of 2CMSS（two-level cache based mobile streaming scheduling） was designed;mathematical models were also achieved to analyze the performance of this scheduling algorithm.Simulation experiment proves that,comparing to the original mobile streaming system,by using the new two-level cache architecture and cache based scheduling algorithm,the network transmission cost and the client startup delay of the mobile streaming services can be decreased effectively.…”

AONT-and-NTRU-based rekeying scheme for encrypted deduplication by Chunfu JIA, Guanxiong HA, Shaoqiang WU, Hang CHEN, Ruiqi LI

“…Rekeying is a good way to protect against key exposure.Most of the existing encrypted deduplication systems are implemented based on message-locked-encryption, in which multiple users with the identical data share the same encryption key.When a user updates keys, that update must be followed by all other data owners, which will incur large computational and communicational overheads.To solve this problem, an AONT-and-NTRU-based rekeying scheme was proposed, a variant of AONT was designed to solve the synchronization problem of multi-user rekeying, and a proxy re-encryption algorithm based on NTRU was introduced to reduce the communicational overhead for the system and computational overhead for clients during rekeying.The efficiency analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme has better encryption and decryption efficiency than existing schemes and the time cost of rekeying is significantly reduced.…”

Research on active defense based on multi-stage cyber deception game by Yongjin HU, Jun MA, Yuanbo GUO, Han ZHANG

“…In view of the characteristic that attacker depended on the detected information to decide the next actions,the non-cooperative signal game theory was applied to analyze cyber attack and defense.The signal deception mechanism in the process of cyber attack and defense was considered deeply by constructing a multi-stage cyber deception game model,and the dynamic analysis and deduction of the multi-stage cyber attack and defense was realized by considering the attenuation of cyber deception signals.A solution for multi-stage cyber deception game equilibrium was improved based on analysis of cyber attack and defense,and an optimal algorithm for selecting cyber deception defense strategies was designed.The effectiveness of the model is verified by simulations.The rules of multi-stage cyber deception games are summarized based on the results,which can provide effective guidance for the research on cyber active defense.…”

Bandwidth allocation games based on network selection for video communication by Shu-zhi WEI, Qi ZHU

“…A bandwidth allocation game based on network selection (BAG-NS) was proposed for video communication in heterogeneous wireless networks.Firstly,according to the video characteristics of different users and current network conditions,the algorithm calculated the weights of network factors and selected the optimum network by combining analytic hierarchy process and entropy theory.Secondly,the user’s utility function with payoff and cost was designed,and a distributed iterative algorithm is used to obtain the Nash equilibrium.Then the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium are proved.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm enables different users to reasonably distribute in different networks and takes users’ fairness and network congestion control into consideration,which increases the utilization of network resources,reduces the users’ video distortion,and improves the users’ video quality.…”

Analysis of the Thermo-elastic for Involute Spur Gear Transmission with Logarithmic Modification by Jin Tingting, Wang Jiugen, Wang Zhenrong

“…Aiming at the involute spur gear with logarithmic modification,according to the heat conduction differential equation and the basic equations of thermo-elasticity,the thermal and thermo-elastic fields of involute spur gear at any meshing position are obtained by using the FFT and IFFT programming calculation,the influence of the torque and rotational speed on temperature field and thermal elastic field is discussed.The results show that,the logarithmic modification can reduce the strong thermal at the edges of the gear tooth caused by the edge effect,thus the scuffing resistance,accuracy and thermal fatigue life of gears are improved.The rising of either torque or rotational speed can intensify the temperature field and thermo-elastic field of gear,and the modification amount should be designed in terms of torque in order to avoid the edge effect.…”

Dual-granularity lightweight model for vulnerability code slicing method assessment by Bing ZHANG, Zheng WEN, Yuxuan ZHAO, Ning WANG, Jiadong REN

“…Aiming at the problems existing in the assessment of existing vulnerability code slicing method, such as incomplete extraction of slicing information, high model complexity and poor generalization ability, and no feedback in the evaluation process, a dual-granularity lightweight vulnerability code slicing evaluation (VCSE) model was proposed.Aiming at the code snippet, a lightweight fusion model of TF-IDF and N-gram was constructed, which bypassed the OOV problem efficiently, and the semantic and statistical features of code slices were extracted based on the double granularity of words and characters.A heterogeneous integrated classifier with high accuracy and generalization performance was designed for vulnerability prediction and analysis.The experimental results show that the evaluation effect of lightweight VCSE is obviously better than that of the current widely used deep learning model.…”
