Optimal energy efficiency routing strategy based on community in mobile social network by Ying PENG, Nao WANG, Gao-cai WANG

“…An optimal energy efficiency routing strategy based on community was proposed,which minimized the network energy consumption under the given delay constraint.Firstly the expected energy consumption and delay of message delivery in the connected network were obtained through Markov chain.Then the comprehensive cost function for delivering message from source node to destination node was designed,which was combined with energy consumption and delay.Thus,the optimization function to comprehensive cost of relay node delivering message was obtained,and further the reward function of relay node was gotten.Finally the optimal expected reward of optimal relay node was achieved using the optimal stopping theory,so as to realize the optimal energy efficiency routing strategy.In simulations,the average energy consumption,the average delay and the average delivery ratio of routing optimization strategy were compared with those of other routing strategies in related literatures.The results show that the strategy proposed has smaller average energy consumption,shorter average delay and higher average delivery ratio,gaining better energy consumption optimization effect.…”

Just noticeable distortion model based on entropy masking in DCT domain by Qionghua LUO, Hongkui WANG, Haibing YIN, Yafen XING

“…In order to improve the threshold accuracy of JND (just noticeable distortion) model in DCT (discrete cosine transform) domain and avoid cross-domain operation, entropy masking effect was introduced into DCT-based JND model.Firstly, starting from the free-energy theory and the Bayesian inference, an autoregressive model based on texture-energy similarity in DCT domain was designed to simulate the spontaneous prediction behavior of visual perception.Secondly, the mapping relationship between visual perception and prediction residuals were explored to obtain the disorder intensity in block level.Thirdly, the entropy masking effect was modeled as a JND threshold modulation factor of disorder intensity.Finally, the JND model in DCT domain for the entropy masking was proposed by fusing the contrast sensitivity function, the luminance adaptive masking, the contrast masking.Compared with the existing JND model in DCT domain, the proposed model performed all operations in DCT domain, which was more efficient and concise.The subjective and objective experimental results indicate that the proposed JND model shows greater tolerance to distortion with better perceptual quality.…”

Image encryption algorithm based on multi-direction pixel continuous folding mechanism and Radon transform by Li SUN, Zhengqian HUANG, Zhenmao XIANG

“…The image encryption algorithm based on multi-direction pixel continuous folding mechanism and Radon transform was proposed.Firstly,the initial plaintext was equally segmented to get left and right sub-blocks.Then the Radon transform was used to obtain the radon projection spectrum image by processing the left and right blocks at 0～180 degrees.And Radon projection spectrum image of left block was permutated by Arnold map,while the Radon projection spectrum image of right block was permutated based on gravity model to get two su-scrambling ciphers,then the entire scrambled image is formed by combining them.To diffuse pixels from multiple directions in space,four direction continuous folding mechanism was designed to change the pixel values by using the diffusion function corresponding to four different directions for realizing image encryption.The experimental results show that this algorithm has higher security and attack resistance with more uniform of pixel distribution in output cipher compared with the current image encryption technology.…”

User Random Access Technology Based on Beam Hopping Satellite Communication System by Zixuan HUANG, Jiaxi ZHOU, Jing ZHANG, Zhengyu ZHANG

“…On the basis of geosynchronous earth orbit multi-beam satellite communication systems, this paper designed the process of user random access to the network and specifi c signaling interaction under the agile beam mechanism, and proposed the scheduling strategy and allocation scheme of the agile signaling beam.This scheme increased the fl exibility of access resource allocation under the premised of ensured that all users could accessed the network, eff ectively improved the utilization rate of satellite network resources.The request of user access to the satellite communication network belongs to the burst type, it is more suitable to use the random competition access, so this paper based on the general random competition access strategy, proposed an adaptive random competition access algorithm based on the heat value, based on the heat value predicted by the network side, the user selects diff erent random access strategies for access.Through the simulation and analysis of the optimization algorithm, it is proved that the algorithm could eff ectively reduced the probability of access collision under various network loads, so as to achieved the purpose of users quickly accessing the network.…”
