Multi relay node selection strategy for energy capture collaborative relay network by Xian-zhong TIAN, Min GUO, Jia-cun HE, Gao LIU, Yi-nan ZHU

“…An energy capture cooperative relay network was studied.Unlike traditional cooperative relay networks,the relay nodes generally did not have a fixed energy supply but could carry out energy capture.For this network,a natural question was how to determine whether the relay nodes perform energy capture or data forwarding,and how to select the relay node to assist the information transmission between the source node and the destination node.Based on this problem,a multi-relay node selection scheme was proposed,which select the operation according to the energy of the current time slot of the relay node.In each time slot,the relay node that meet the battery threshold requirements was selected to assist in transmission.The Markov chain was used to model the charging and discharging process of the relay node battery,and the probability of interruption and throughput of the wireless network was obtained.And the value of the battery threshold when the throughput was maximized,that is,when the probability of network breakage was minimum was solved.Finally,the advantages of this scheme were verified by numerical experiments.…”

Outage performance of multi-RIS-assisted NOMA system with imperfect serial interference cancellation by Jiaqing QIN, Liping LUO, Jing ZHOU

“…Considering the practical communication environments, the outage performance and the throughput were investigated for multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with imperfect serial interference cancellation (SIC).The channel coefficients of the RIS-assisted NOMA system including the direct and the reflecting paths were approximated by Gamma distribution.An approximate closed-form expressions of outage probability were derived and validated through Monte Carlo simulations.The study investigated the relationship between the outage performance and system parameters, including the impact of imperfect SIC, the number of RIS and the number of reflecting units.The simulation results demonstrate that, compared with the single RIS-assisted NOMA and the traditional NOMA system, the multi-RIS-assisted system achieves a 14.2 dBm gain in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given outage probability.Thus, employing multiple RISs can improve the outage performance and the system throughput effectively, thereby compensating for the performance degradation caused by imperfect SIC.…”

Key path analysis method for large-scale industrial control network by Yaofang ZHANG, Zheyu ZHANG, Haikuo QU, Ge ZHANG, Zibo WANG, Bailing WANG

“…In order to solve the problem of high time-consuming and resource-consuming quantitative calculation of large-scale industrial control network attack graphs, a key path analysis method for large-scale industrial control networks was proposed.Firstly, the idea of cut set was used to calculate the key nodes set of Bayesian attack graph by combining the atomic attack income in industrial control network, which solved the problem that the current cut set algorithm only considers the key nodes in graph structure.Secondly, a dynamic updating strategy of Bayesian attack graph which only updated the attack probability of key nodes was proposed to efficiently calculate the attack probability of the whole graph and analyze the key path of attack graph.The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only ensure the reliability of the calculation results of large-scale industrial control attack graphs, but also can significantly reduce the time consumption and have a significant improvement in the calculation efficiency.…”

Rational analysis of authentication protocols based on NGUYEN L H scheme by Xing-hua LI, Ling-juan DENG, Yuan ZHANG, Jian-feng MA

“…Using the ideas of game theory,NGUYEN L H transformed two families of authentication protocols where the honest party transmitted some useless data with probability α before the normal protocol run,so that even if an attacker attacks a protocol,the attacker’s payoff will still be lower than that when it does not.In such a way,the security of the protocol was guaranteed.However,this scheme suffers from two shortcomings:the considered is too attacker powerful,and only its payoff was considered and the cost of the attacks was ignored; the situation in which the honest node would choose to send useless data was not considered.To improve this scheme,the value of α,with the consideration of the attack cost,of which the value is more general was given.What’s more,the attack probability β was introduced.Based on this,the precondition that the honest node transmits the useless data was presented,as well as the value of α under the different β values.Compared with the original scheme,this results are more generic and comprehensive.Meanwhile,through a case analysis in the P2P network,the correctness of the conclusion is proved.…”

Secure data sharing scheme supporting efficient synchronous evolution for ciphertext and key by Xincheng YAN, Yue CHEN, Hongyong JIA, Yanru CHEN, Xinyue ZHANG

“…The static property of stored ciphertext in cloud increases the probability that an attacker can crack the ciphertext by obtaining a key,while ciphertext and key updates based on key distribution and re-encryption are excessively expensive.For this problem,a secure data sharing scheme supporting efficient synchronous evolution for ciphertext and key (CKSE-SDS) was proposed.By introducing cryptography accumulator in broadcast encryption,mimicry transformation factor could be constructed supporting time-hopping periodically and efficient synchronous evolution for ciphertext and key could be achieved based on dynamic segmentation and fusion of ciphertext and key,which reduced certainty in the process of encryption and key distribution and increased the difficulty for attackers exploiting security vulnerabilities to obtain key to crack ciphertext as well.Theoretical analysis and security proofs show that the proposed scheme can support secure and efficient data access as well as reduce the probability of a successful attack effectively for an attacker,which can also enhance the system’s active security defense capability.…”

PROBABILISTIC FATIGUE LIFE PREDICTION APPROACH FOR MULTI-SITE DAMAGE COMPONENTS by XIE LiYang, MA YuanYuan, LIU JianZhong, WU NingXiang, CHEN Bo

“…Fatigue is a phenomenon of high uncertainty,especially for components with multiple damage sites.The fatigue life（ either mean value or probability distribution of the random variable） of a complex component with multiple damage sites is not equal to that of a simple component with only one damage site.A multi-site damage component is a series system with many weak links（ damage sites） in probability sense.A probabilistic fatigue life prediction model for multi-site damage component is presented based on a systematic thought,as well as the order statistics and extreme statistics concept.Such developed model can naturally reflect the effect of the dependence among different damage sites.Experimental result and the example on multi-site damage component fatigue life prediction shows that the fatigue life of a multi-site damage component is much lower than that of a single site damage component.…”
