Trajectory privacy protection scheme based on differential privacy by Si CHEN, Anmin FU, Mang SU, Huaijiang SUN

“…To solve the problem that the current sampling mechanism and data obfuscation method may raise insufficient data availability and privacy protection, a trajectory privacy protection scheme based on differential privacy was proposed.A new efficient sampling model based on time generalization and spatial segmentation was presented, and a k-means clustering algorithm was designed to process sampling data.By employing the differential privacy mechanism, the trajectory data was disturbed to solve the user privacy leaking problem caused by the attacker with powerful background knowledge.Simultaneously, to respond to the error boundary of the query range of pandemic, an effective prediction mechanism was designed to ensure the availability of released public track data.Simulation results demonstrate that compared with the existing trajectory differential privacy protection methods, the proposed scheme has obvious advantages in terms of processing efficiency, privacy protection intensity, and data availability.…”

Research of channel quantization and feedback strategies based on multiuser diversity MIMO-OFDM systems by LIANG Xue-jun, ZHU Guang-xi, SU Gang, WANG De-sheng

“…Firstly, a quantization method was proposed by quantized value indicating the modulation level instead of the full values of channel quality information（CQI） and the achievable average spectrum efficiency showed no loss compared with perfect case.Secondly, employment of the integrated design that combined with opportunistic, best, and hybrid feedback scheme was considered and the close-form expression of average spectrum efficiency was deduced in various case.Finally, the calculation of optimal feedback parameters was confirmed from two aspects of feedback channel capacity and capacity relative loss.Extensive simulations were presented to evaluate these proposed strategies.The results match with the numeral analysis very well.The proposed partial feedback schemes can reduce the feedback load greatly with the same system capability, only if the feedback parameters be chosen properly.Wherein, the hybrid feedback combined with quantization performs best and provides the instruction to design the channel feedback of practical systems.…”
