Data aggregation scheduling algorithm based on twice maximum independent set by Jian XU, Geng YANG, Zheng-yu CHEN, Hai-yong WANG, Zhen YANG

“…The main task in designing a data aggregation schedule was to get a good trade-off between QoS and weighted fairness guarantee.In order to address this problem,a novel data aggregation scheduling algorithm,MISS,was proposed,which could produce a collision-free TDMA schedule for data aggregation based on twice Maximum Independent Set (MIS).In the first phase,a tree structure based on MIS was constructed,and then it was adjusted according to the energy consumption forecast of each node,forming the balanced data aggregation tree.In the second phase,the approximate maximum weighted Independent set (WMIS) was utilized of all selected links to allocate time slots for each communication link.The results of simulation demonstrate that MISS not only improves the aggregation delay and lifetime of the network,but also gives weighted fairness guarantee.…”

An incentive mechanism with bandwidth allocation for federated learning by Yingyun GUO, Bo GAO, Zhifei ZHANG, Yu ZHANG, Ke XIONG

“…Federated learning (FL) is an emerging machine learning paradigm that can make full use of crowd sourced mobile resources for training on decentralized data.However, it is challenging to deploy FL over a wireless network because of the limited bandwidth and clients’ selfishness.To address these challenges, an incentive mechanism with bandwidth allocation (IMBA) was proposed.Considering the difference between clients' data quality and computing power, IMBA designs a payment scheme to incentivize high-quality clients to contribute their computing resources, thus improving the training accuracy of the model.By minimizing the weight sum of training time and payment cost, the optimal payment and bandwidth allocation scheme was determined, and the training delay was reduced by optimizing bandwidth allocation.Experiments show that IMBA effectively improves training accuracy, reduces the training delay and helps the server flexibly balance training delay and hiring payment.…”

Adaptive resource optimization mechanism for blockchain sharding in digital twin edge network by Li JIANG, Shengli XIE, Hui TIAN

“…To address the security and privacy issues for data sharing in digital twin edge networks, a new distributed and secure data sharing mechanism was developed by leveraging blockchain sharding.Considering dynamic and time varying features in digital twin edge networks and mapping errors of physic networks, an adaptive resource allocation model was formulated which jointly optimized cluster head selection, local base station (BS) consensus access selection, spectrum and computation consensus resources allocation, in order to maximize transactional throughput for the blockchain sharding.Moreover, a digital twin edge networks empowered two-layered proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm was designed to obtain the optimal solutions.Numerical results illustrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the transactional throughput for the blockchain sharding.Meanwhile, it can well adapt to the mapping errors.…”

SDN Communication Quality Assurance Strategy witb DDoS Defense and Routing Optimization by Jiahua Zhang, Zhongxue Yang, Jiangping Wang, Yukai Shi, Liang Wei

“…A SDN communication quality assurance strategy which organic combines DDoS threat identification with route optimization was put forward.It means,when the intent link was congestive attacked by DDoS,it wi11 identify and filter the abnormal data packet,and wi11 generate optimized routing to ensure the quality of network communications.First of a11,a distributed intrusion detection system under SDN framework was designed.The system realizes the detection recognition,filtration and treatment about the DDoS threat,such as cheating message,excepting message and destroying message.Secondly,a kind of best algorithm about generating routing path was realized.The experimental result shows that the network deployment plan which mentioned in this paper,can identify and filter the aggressive data packet,and the average network data transmission delay doesn't increase sharply when the network is under attack.…”

An improved RFID authentication protocol based on quadratic residue by Zhiliang LIU

“…In view of the existing radio frequency identification(RFID) authentication protocol based on quadratic residue in the security and cost aspects of the loopholes and deficiencies,an improved RFID bidirectional authentication protocol based on the quadratic residue was designed.The improved protocol was mixed with random number encryption under the framework of the quadratic residue,which makes the message certification and identification more efficient and fast in database authentication and identification; the ultra-lightweight bit replacement operations and XOR encryption communication information was introduced,which reduces the cost of system computing; in database,the random number checking mechanism was added to avoid attacks such as agreement to be synchronized and denial of service attacks; finally,the GNY logical proof of the protocol was given,which shows the feasibility of the improved protocol.The protocol security and performance analysis indicate that the improved protocol has higher security and lower cost.…”
