Design and analysis of active queue management algorithm based on predictive control by WANG Ping, CHEN Hong, LU Xiao-hui

“…Model predictive control as a novel active queue management（AQM） algorithm was proposed for Internet system with large delay,called MPAQM.Considering the causality of time-delay system,the predicted output was defined.Then,the control requirement was converted to the optimal control objective,and the drop probability was obtained by solving the optimal problem.Furthermore,the delay-independent stability condition of closed-loop system was derived,which gave the guidelines how to select the parameters of MPAQM algorithm to assure the stability and fast convergence of the network system.The performances of MPAQM were evaluated through a series of simulations in NS2 under the single/multiple topology.The simulation results show that the queue length with MPAQM algorithm reaches the desired value with minimal tracking error and lower drop probability.MPAQM algorithm outperforms RED,PI and SPI-RED algorithms in terms of disturbance rejection,stability,and robustness.…”

Multi-domain collaborative anti-jamming based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning by Biao ZHANG, Ximing WANG, Yifan XU, Wen LI, Hao HAN, Songyi LIU, Xueqiang CHEN

“…Dynamic transmission requirements and the limited cache space bring great challenges to wireless data transmission in the malicious jamming environment.Aiming at the above problems, a collaborative anti-jamming channel selection and data scheduling joint decision method for distributed internet of things was studied from the perspective of frequency domain and time domain.A data transmission model based on multi-user Markov decision process was constructed and a collaborativeanti-jamming joint-channel-and-data decision algorithm based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning was proposed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively avoid the malicious jamming and the co-channel interference.Compared with the comparison algorithm, the network throughput is significantly improved, and the number of packet dropout is significantly reduced.…”

Research on batch anonymous authentication scheme for VANET based on bilinear pairing by Cheng SONG, Ming-yue ZHANG, Wei-ping PENG, Zong-pu JIA, Zhi-zhong LIU, Xi-xi YAN

“…To solve the problem of efficiency of anonymous authentication in vehicular ad hoc network,a batch anonymous authentication scheme was proposed by using bilinear pairing on elliptic curves .The signature was generated by the roadside unit node (RSU) and the vehicle together.Thus,the burden of VANET certification center was reduced and the authentication efficiency was proved.Meanwhile,the difficulty of the attacker to extract the key was increased.Furthermore,security proofs were given to the scheme in the random oracle model.Analysis shows that the proposed scheme can meet the needs of many kinds of security requirements,the computational overhead is significantly reduced,and the authentication efficiency is improved effectively too.Therefore,the scheme has important theoretical significance and application value under computational capability constrained Internet of things (IoT) environment.…”

Multi-strategy QoS-aware service selection and ranking model by Lei WU, Yu-long LIU, Shi-jun LIU

“…As the increment of services with same function and different QoS in the internet,in order to select and rank the services that fulfill users’ functionality requirements and QoS requirements,a multi-strategy QoS-aware service ranking and selection approach is presented.Considering service performance,and service operation,maintenance costs,an extended Web service QoS model was developed.To determine how well a service satisfies users’and operators’ concerned QoS requirements,a set of functions is presented to normalize services’QoS on various QoS aspects with different metrics and scales,also to compute services satisfaction scores ,and to combine the users’satisfaction scores and the operators’scores together as an overall satisfaction scores based on certain strategy.A prototype system was built for service selection and ranking,and the model above was verified through an application case.…”

Survey of Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communication Network Routing Technology by Shuang ZHENG, Xing ZHANG, Wenbo WANG

“…Low earth orbit satellite communication network is an important part of the internet of everything era, but the characteristics of satellite constellation topology such as high dynamic, limited heterogeneous resources and unbalanced network service capacity make the traditional routing protocol applied to the ground network no longer suitable for low earth orbit satellite network.In this regard, scholars at home and abroad had carried out extensive research on low-orbit satellite routing technology.Firstly, the research status of low-orbit satellite routing was discussed from inter-satellite routing and satellite-to-ground routing, and the inter-satellite routing technologies with business as the core and topology as the core were compared in detail.On this basis, the key problems faced by low-orbit satellite routing strategies were analyzed, namely, high dynamic network topology, large inter-satellite link propagation delay, uneven network load and limited on-board resources.The future research of routing technology was prospected accordingly.…”
