High-precision indoor fast positioning algorithm based on carrier phase by Shaoshuai FAN, Zhiqiang RONG, Hui TIAN, Lihua LI

“…In order to improve the positioning accuracy and the speed of position solution in indoor wireless environment, a high-precision indoor fast positioning algorithm based on carrier phase was proposed.By introducing the reference terminal, the influence of clock error between devices on the accuracy of the positioning algorithm was completely eliminated by using the double difference between the carrier phase measurements of the terminal to be positioned and the reference terminal.Taking advantage of the invariability of integer ambiguity during the phase-locked loop lock-off, an iterative integer ambiguity resolution algorithm based on multi-time point measurement data was designed, and the fast integer ambiguity resolution was realized.After the integer ambiguity was solved, the terminal to be located could be located with high precision by using accurate carrier phase difference measurement.The simulation results show that the positioning algorithm proposed can completely overcome the influence of clock error on positioning performance, and can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy at very few sampling time points.…”

Shape similarity differential privacy trajectory protection mechanism based on relative entropy and K-means by Suxia ZHU, Shulun LIU, Guanglu SUN

“…To solve the problem that most studies had not fully considered the sensitivity of location to privacy budget and the influence of trajectory shape, which made the usability of published trajectory poor, a shape similarity differential privacy trajectory protection mechanism based on relative entropy and K-means was proposed.Firstly, according to the topological relationship of geographic space, relative entropy was used to calculate the sensitivity of real location to privacy budget, a real-time calculation method of location sensitive privacy level was designed, and a new privacy model was built in combination with differential privacy budget.Secondly, K-means algorithm was used to cluster the release position to obtain the release position set that was most similar to the real position direction, and Fréchet distance was introduced to measure the similarity between the release track and the real track, so as to improve the availability of the release track.Experiments on real data sets show that the proposed trajectory protection mechanism has obvious advantages in trajectory availability compared with others.…”

Provably secure rational delegation computation protocol by Youliang TIAN, Qiuxian LI, Duo ZHANG, Linjie WANG

“…A provably secure rational delegation computation scheme was proposed to solve the requirement of security issues in rational delegate computation.Firstly,game theory was introduced into delegation computation and according to rational participants behavior preferences analysis,a rational delegate computing game model was designed.Secondly,according to the equilibrium demand of game model and the security requirement of rational delegation computation,a rational security model was established.Thirdly,combining Yao's garbled circuit with its advantages of re-randomization,as well as full homomorphic encryption technology,the rational delegation computation protocol was constructed.And the combination of strategies in the protocol could reach the Nash equilibrium state.Finally,the security of the protocol and the privacy of the input and output were proved according to the rational security model,and the performance analysis shows the validity of the protocol.The proposed rational delegation computing protocol not only satisfies the traditional security,but also considers the behavioral preference of participants,which is more in line with the delegationcomputing mode under the big data environment.…”

Matching and Optimization for the Parameter of Electric City Vehicle Powertrain by Li Wenwen, Sun Houhuan, Xu Xiaowen

“…Under the double pressures of energy crisis and environmental problems,the governments and the automobile enterprises have paid much attention to the pure electric vehicle which has advantages of zero emission,low noise and wide range of energy sources.Electric car is not very different from conventional cars,whether in the main structure or in the appearance.The main change is made in terms of drivetrain.Taking the pure electric city car as our research target,the power transmission system parameter is analyzed and designed,according to the vehicle parameters,power and economy requirements,the vehicle power system parameter is matched.The matched parameters of power system preliminarily is optimized from improving the transmission efficiency,taking the shortest time of acceleration and working conditions driving range maximum as optimization goal.The fitness function of transmission speed ratio is constituted of objective function and constraints condition by using a penalty function.The optimization is carried out by genetic algorithm,the optimal parameters of power system are obtained.…”

Privacy cloud storage scheme based on fog computing by Jiyuan ZHOU, Hao LUO, Lei QIU, Tian WANG

“…As one of the core applications in cloud computing field,cloud storage attracts a large number of users depending on its powerful storage capacity.However,in this storage schema,users’ data is stored completely in cloud server.In other word,users’ right of control on data is lost and users are facing privacy leakage risk.Traditional privacy protection scheme is usually based on encryption technology,but the attack from the inside of cloud server can’t be resisted effectively by these kinds of methods.Once the password gets compromised,users’ data will be stolen.In order to solve this problem,a three-level secure cloud storage scheme based on fog computing was proposed and a Hash-Solomon code algorithm was designed.A small part of data was stored in local machine and fog server,which can take full advantage of cloud storage and protect the privacy of data.Through the theoretical safety analysis and experimental test,the feasibility of our scheme is proved,and it is really a powerful supplement to existing cloud storage scheme.…”
