Cross-layer multi-channel MAC protocol combined with QoS search for cognitive wireless multi-hop networks by Jie SUN, Wei GUO

“…In cognitive wireless multi-hop networks,the spectrum resources are highly variable and diverse.A cross-layer multi-channel MAC protocol combined with QoS search was proposed.The protocol combines the on-demand QoS search with dynamic spectrum allocation via cross-layer method,which only permits the transmission nodes to participate in the spectrum allocation and can guarantee the allocation results meet the QoS requirement.Besides,frequency division duplex transceivers are introduced to continuously listen to the common control channel,and an access algorithm is carefully designed to realize hybrid communication between nodes with erent number of transceivers.Extensive simulations show that our protocol can efficiently guarantees the QoS requirement for end-to-end transmission and significantly improves end-to-end throughput and delay.…”

Confirmation method for the detection of malicious encrypted traffic with data privacy protection by Gaofeng HE, Qianfeng WEI, Xiancai XIAO, Haiting ZHU, Bingfeng XU

“…In order to solve the problem that excessive false positives in the detection of encrypted malicious traffic based on machine learning, secure two-party computation was used to compare character segments between network traffic and intrusion detection rulers without revealing the data content.Based on the comparison results, an intrusion detection feature matching algorithm was designed to accurately match keywords.A random verification strategy for users’ input was also proposed to facilitate the method.As a result, malicious users couldn’t use arbitrary data to participate in secure two-party calculations and avoid confirmation.The security and resource consumption of the method were theoretically analyzed and verified by a combination of real deployment and simulation experiments.The experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the detection performance with low system resources.…”

Connectivity analysis of IoV based on scale-free network by Tao HAN, Wei HE, Jun DAI, Yong ZUO, Yang YANG, Xiaohu GE

“…The connectivity of moving vehicles is one of the critical metrics in Internet of vehicles (IoV) that critically influence the performance of data transmission.Due to the high-frequency dynamic changes of the network topology of the IoV, which causes the link to be easily disconnected frequently.It is a critical issue to reduce the probability of link disconnection, and reducing the randomness of link establishment improves the overall network connectivity.To solve the above problems, the network’s connectivity was analyzed under the line of sight path loss model and the interference model, and the dynamic growth (DN) algorithm was designed through the characterization of the IoV link in the real world.Moreover, a scale-free VANET was built through the network’s addition and deletion of nodes and link preference connections.Simulation results indicate that the overall connectivity of the network is improved by 16%.…”

Actor-critic algorithm with incremental dual natural policy gradient by Peng ZHANG, Quan LIU, Shan ZHONG, Jian-wei ZHAI, Wei-sheng QIAN

“…The existed algorithms for continuous action space failed to consider the way of selecting optimal action and utilizing the knowledge of the action space,so an efficient actor-critic algorithm was proposed by improving the natural gradient.The objective of the proposed algorithm was to maximize the expected return.Upper and the lower bounds of the action range were weighted to obtain the optimal action.The two bounds were approximated by linear function.Afterward,the problem of obtaining the optimal action was transferred to the learning of double policy parameter vectors.To speed the learning,the incremental Fisher information matrix and the eligibilities of both bounds were designed.At three reinforcement learning problems,compared with other representative methods with continuous action space,the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of rapid convergence rate and high convergence stability.…”
