Anonymous survey system based on NIZK by Lu LIU, Yu-xi LI, Fu-cai ZHOU

“…Aiming at the security problem that the existing in electronic surveys,such as information fraud,privacy security etc.An anonymous electronic survey scheme based on non-interactive zero knowledge proofs (NIZK) was constructed,which had the characteristics of self-organization,non-interactive,anti-replay,and high efficiency.The system uses the NIZK protocol and the Boneh-Boyen signature scheme to verify the user's identity in non-interactive manner,which guarantees the authenticity of the scheme.The system also uses the Pedersen commitment scheme and the pseudo random function to hide the user's identity and the related information,which guarantees the ano-nymity.Security analysis show that the system has security features such as malicious users attack resistance and anonymity.Finally,the function of the system was also verified and the result show that the system can accomplish all the functions correctly and guarantee the anonymity and authenticity of the system effectively.…”

Blockchain-based access control mechanism for data traceability by Rongna XIE, Hui LI, Guozhen SHI, Yunchuan GUO, Ming ZHANG, Xiuze DONG

“…To improve the transparency and traceability of access control, a blockchain-based access control mechanism for data traceability and provenance was proposed.The proposed access control policy was transferred to the smart contract and deployed on the blockchain, and the access authorization evaluation was realized by executing the smart contract deployed on the blockchain to ensure the decentralization, transparency and traceability of the access control process.The manner of combining off-chain and on-chain was adopted, the object was stored in off-chain data server, and the object index was generated by the object storage address and hash value, and deployed on the object blockchain.The log of object access authorization and access were recorded in the log blockchain, any misbehavior was immutably recorded.The security analysis show that, the proposed mechanism achieve the properties of decentralization, transparency and traceability while ensuring the privacy of data.…”

A density clustering-based network performance failure big data analysis algorithm by Xiang LI, Yuan LI, Zifei ZHANG, Zhe YANG

“…Facing frequent network security incidents,how to quickly find abnormal data in massive monitoring database and carry out network failure analysis becomes a research difficulty.A density-based network performance failure big data analysis algorithm was proposed,which extracted key performance characteristic indicators through entropy weight analysis,implemented data shaping through data cleaning and standardization,and extracted abnormal performance data on the basis of DBSCAN clustering algorithm.Relying on the real-time massive backbone network link performance data of multiple domestic operators to validated this algorithm,the results shows that compared with the manually manner,the recognition accuracy of the algorithm proposed to the network performance abnormal data is more than 90%,which can well fit for the analysis of real-time Internet network operation failure.…”

5G-Advanced: network-controlled repeater by Nan ZHANG, Ziyang LI, Ruyue LI, Wei CAO

“…Radio frequency (RF) repeaters have been deployed in 2G, 3G and 4G to improve the coverage of cellular system.While it is treated as a cost effective solution to extend the network coverage, conventional RF repeaters simply perform amplify-and-forward operation based on the set-up without the capability of doing flexible adjustments based on control and scheduling indication from network.An overview on the new study item in 5G-Advanced was given, i.e.network-controlled repeater.As an enhancement over conventional RF repeaters, network-contrdled repeater will enable the repeater to receive and process repeater control information from the network and perform its amplify-and-forward operation in a more efficient manner including the directive forwarding of the signal, dynamic on-/off of transmissions and receptions, and simplified network integration.…”

Novel spectrum sharing strategy based on QoS support in cognitive vehicular network by Lei ZHANG, Tao LUO, Wei LIU

“…A two-step spectrum sharing strategy consisting of inter-cell allocation and intra-cell allocation was developed to guarantee the system quality of service(QoS)in the cognitive vehicular network(CVN).Simulation results indicate that the proposed GNBS scheme considering both the fairness and utility can obtain larger transmission rate than Max-min scheme and achieve much better fairness than Max-rate scheme.Considering the difference of spectrum requirements between cognitive cells,GNBS scheme can allocate the spectrum resource dynamically in a weighted fairness manner.Furthermore,the cognitive cooperative spectrum sharing scheme outperforms than the non-cooperative scheme,and it can greatly improve the system utility and fairness between OBU than the non-cooperative schemes.…”

Cloud resource prediction model based on triple exponential smoothing method and temporal convolutional network by Xiaolan XIE, Zhengzheng ZHANG, Jianwei WANG, Xiaochun GHENG

“…The container cloud represented by Docker and Kubernetes has the advantages of less additional resource overhead and shorter start-up and destruction time.However there are still resource management issues such as over-supply and under-supply.In order to allow the Kubernetes cluster to respond “in advance” to the resource usage of the applications deployed on it,and then to schedule and allocate resources in a timely,accurate and dynamic manner based on the predicted value,a cloud resource prediction model based on triple exponential smoothing method and temporal convolutional network was proposed,based on historical data to predict future demand for resources.To find the optimal combination of parameters,the parameters were optimized using TPOT thought.Experiments on the CPU and memory of the Google dataset show that the model has better prediction performance than other models.…”

Joint optimization of trajectory and resource allocation for UAV integrated radar and communication system by Shaoshuai FAN, Yufei WANG, Hui TIAN, Jie Zhang, Jinxin SHI

“…For the flexible and efficient area detection and data transmission tasks, the joint optimization of time resource allocation, power resource allocation and the trajectory for UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) trajectory for airborne IRCS (integrated radar and communication system) was studied in a TDM (time division multiplexing) manner, in order to maximize the total weighted capacity of the system’s radar detection link and communication transmission link.To solve the non-convex optimization problem, the BCD (block coordinate descent) and the SCP (successive convex programming) techniques were adopted to iteratively optimize the time resource allocation, power resource allocation and UAV trajectory.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain a convergent solution, and can effectively improve the capacity of the system.…”
