Optimum Intervention in Transportation Networks Using Multimodal System under Fuzzy Stochastic Environment by Gurupada Maity, Vincent F. Yu, Sankar Kumar Roy

“…Multimodal transport refers to the transportation of goods under a single contract but performed with at least two different modes of transport. This research designs a new method for solving the Transportation Problem (TP) by introducing multimodal transport systems under fuzzy-stochastic environment, which we refer to as Fuzzy-Stochastic Multimodal Transportation Problem (FSMMTP). …”

Performance analysis and power optimization for FH secure communication under frequency and phase mismatch by Changqing SONG, Hongzhi ZHAO, Lizhi QIN, Shihai SHAO

“…The artificial noise (AN) shielded frequency hopping (FH) secure communication can counteract electromagnetic interference and wiretapping, but its carrier frequencies change rapidly within a wide bandwidth which will raise the level of carrier frequency offset and phase noise, yielding AN cancellation performance degradation.To tackle this, the signal distortion caused by frequency and phase mismatch (FPM) was mathematically modeled, the AN cancellation performance was evaluated via signal-to-noise ratio, and the system secrecy was scaled via secrecy capacity.On basis of this, the optimal power allocation scheme for AN and confidential signal was designed, and the scheme was expanded according to the FPM level and the propagation channel quality.Numerical simulations verify that FPM can significantly degrade the noise cancellation performance and system secrecy, and to counteract this, the power ratio of AN to confidential signals should decrease with an increasing FPM.…”

Network isolation communication scheme to resist against covert channel by Feng-hua LI, Miao-miao TAN, Kai FAN, Kui GENG, Fu ZHAO

“…With the rapid development of network technologies，real-time information exchanging between heterogeneous networks becomes more frequently.To effectively guarantee the secure and real-time information exchanging crossing different networks，a network isolation communication scheme (NICS) is proposed to resist against covert channel.A newly theoretical model of NICS is designed and proved based on the information theory，and followed with a specific solution.Security analysis indicates that the NICS is able to effectively solve problems of the potential packet lengths’ covert channel (PLCC) and the status covert channel (SCC) in most of the existing work; and，given similar amount of information for exchanging，the NICS can achieve equivalent security degree with the physical isolation in terms of resisting against the covert channel.…”

Upper bound of degrees of freedom in cognitive MIMO interference network with user cooperation by Shi-lei ZHU, Na-e ZHENG, Sheng WANG, Han-ying HU

“…In(K+1)-user cognitive MIMO interference network,conventional algorithms distinguish the interference of primary users and secondary users by aligning them to the different interference space,separately.Therefore,it leads to the loss of spatial degrees of freedom(DoF).From the perspective of multiplexing the interference space,a new upper bound of DoF and its necessary condition was deduced.Furthermore,to verify the rationality and validity of the new upper bound,a cooperative joint interference alignment algorithm,in which a joint interference alignment indicator was designed and proposed based on norm theory and Rayleigh-Ritz theorem.The effectiveness of the algorithm was analyzed.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the new upper bound of DoF breaks upper bound given in the existing papers,and it can be achieved by the proposed algorithm.…”
