Topology design and capacity planning of wide-area network based on delay constraint by Xiaoqing XU, Hong TANG, Ke RUAN, Juan WU, Xiaojun LIU

“…In order to optimize network performance and reduce construction cost, the topology design and dimensioning problems in wide-area network planning were investigated based on delay constraint with the use of linear programming (LP) and heuristic greedy-drop algorithm.Firstly, demands’ weights were considered and LP was exploited with given paths to solve the capacity expansion problems of minimum delay and minimum delay with minimum cost.Secondly, greedy-drop algorithm was applied and candidate edges were removed from full mesh topology according to the global normalized delay increments.Thus, new added edges to satisfy the delay constraint were determined.Moreover, the combination of LP and greedy-drop algorithm was proposed to determine new added edges and capacity expansion of the delay-constraint scenario with minimum cost.The results turn out that the proposed algorithms are effective to solve the problems of topology design and capacity planning in wide-area network planning targeting delay optimization.…”

E-invoice authenticity verification scheme based on signature verification by Rongna XIE, Weihua MAO, Guozhen SHI

“…With the rapid development of network and information technology,paperless and electronic have become the development trend of today's economic life.As a consumption certificate,electronic invoices have become more and more demanding in e-commerce.The existing electronic invoice verification method is to inquire the invoice information in the national electronic account base according to the invoice number,invoice code,billing date,and amount,and realize the function of comparison inquiry,and can not detect the fraudulent behavior of issuing invoices by non-issuing institutions,and cannot guarantee the full legality and authenticity of electronic invoices.Aiming at the above problems,a verification scheme for electronic invoice authenticity based on signature authentication was proposed.By verifying the signature of the tax agency,the legality verification of the blank electronic invoice is verified,and the digital signature of the seller is verified to determine the authenticity of the invoiced content.Ensure that the electronic invoices passed for verification are true and reliable.…”

Analysis on 5G XR and enhancement on media service by Xiaonan SHI, Chunshan XIONG, Hui NI, Dan WANG

“…5G XR and enhancement on media service are very important business scenarios in 5G-Advanced network.With the increasing user demands for emerging new media services, 5G network needs to make corresponding enhancements for media services such as XR.The main business scenarios of XR and augmented multimedia were mainly introduced, including immersive virtual reality, augmented reality, remote control technology based on mixed reality, virtual factory, remote unmanned aerial vehicle control, etc.For the typical business scenarios of XR, there were already some specifications and on-going studies in 3GPP.Based on these existing activities, 5G network need further enhancements including 5G QoS framework for XR service, coordination between network and application, synchronization of flows of multi-user and multi-stream, power saving of terminals and network etc., so that the 5G network could provide better support to 5G XR and enhanced media services leveraging the above enablers.…”
