Study on multi-channel reservation based MAC protocol for sensor networks by ZHANG De-sheng1, LI Jin-bao1, GUO Long-jiang1

“…Aiming at triple hidden terminal problems in wireless sensor networks,an adaptive duty cycle based multi-channel MAC protocol was proposed,called MCR.MCR efficiently handled triple hidden terminal problems with multiple channel reservation.By minimizing the lower bound of average times of channel switching in MCR,the optimal duty cycle in theoretical analysis was obtained.To investigate values of multiple channel reservation and dynamic duty cycling in MCR,extensive simulation and real testbed experiments were conducted.The results show that compared with other protocols,when the number of channels is larger or loads are heavy,M-cube improves throughput and energy effi-ciency significantly.…”

Host security threat analysis approach for network dynamic defense by Lixun LI, Bin ZHANG, Shuqin DONG

“…Calculating the host security threat in network dynamic defense (NDD) situation has to consider the vulnerabilities’ uncertainty because of dynamic mutation.Firstly,the vulnerabilities’ uncertainty caused by the mutation space and the mutation period was calculated by random sampling model,and combined with the CVSS,the attack success probability formula of single vulnerability was derived.Secondly,to avoid self-loop during the path searching process in multiple vulnerabilities situation,an improved recursive depth first algorithm which combined with node visited queue was proposed.Then,the host security threat was calculated based on attack success probability in the situation of multiple vulnerabilities and paths.Finally,approach’s availability and effectiveness were verified by an experiment conducted in a typical NDD situation.…”

New NOMA power allocation strategy by Yong CAO, Zhen YANG, You-hong FENG

“…Non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) has been widely used in the research of the fifth generation communication,due to the advantages of improving the spectrum efficiency and data rate.In order to guarantee the service of users,a new power allocation strategy was proposed to improve the fairness of users in the cell edge.According to the proportional fairness method,the goal was to maximize the proportionality fairness factor among the users with the least fairness in multiplexed users.The nonconvex objective function was transformed into convex function,and the optimal solution of problem was obtained by KKT optimal constraint condition.Simulation results show that the new NOMA-based power allocation strategy proposed outperforms the traditional orthogonal multiple access technology (OMA).…”

Network analytical model of tandem queuing RED and ERED by CHI Xue-fen, ZHAO Ying-ying

“…Based on the tandem queuing network theory,tandem queuing RED and ERED analytical models were established which emprise multiple network nodes.The RED algorithm with exponent packet loss distribution function was derived（ERED）.In probability generation function domain,departure process of a node was derived and then fitted for the follow-up node’s arriving process,thus,the multiple nodes relayed congestion control sinarios could be depicted.Network performances of three tandem queuing AQM algorithms（RED,ERED and DT） were presented by solving queu-ing system.The problems of AQM parameter setting and its effect on system performance were analyzed.Considering two types of traffic with different degrees of burst,performance indicators for each node in tandem queuing system are investigated,and specially,system end-to-end performance indicators are derived.…”

Semi-dynamic pilot allocation based on graph coloring in massive MIMO systems by Fangmin XU, Hui QIAN, Haiyan CAO

“…To alleviate the performance loss caused by pilot contamination in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems,a semi-dynamic pilot allocation scheme based on graph coloring was proposed.Firstly,a pilot reuse threshold was derived for users.Then,based on the pilot reuse threshold,users of each cell are divided into cell-center users and cell-edge users,where cell-center users were allowed to reuse the same pilot.Finally,based on the graph coloring theory,the pilot resources were allocated to cell-edge users with serious pilot interference by multi-cell coordination.The simulation results show that the proposed pilot allocation scheme reduces the pilot interference and improves the uplink achievable rate of the whole system effectively.…”
