Research on key technologies of safety monitoring data sharing for railway engineering construction based on blockchain by Yuhong LIU, Liang YANG, Chunhui PIAO, Zhiguo ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problems that the monitoring data was easy to be tampered with in the process of railway engineering construction safety monitoring, and the authenticity of the data might be questioned during the accountability of accidents, a blockchain-based railway engineering construction safety monitoring data sharing model was proposed.The characteristics of automatic execution of smart contracts ensured the transparency of the process of monitoring data on the chain.In the PBFT algorithm, there was a problem that the Byzantine nodes and the normal nodes were selected as the master node with the same probability, a reputation-based practical Byzantine fault tolerance algorithm was proposed.Streaming data on the chain might cause network congestion, which simplified the consensus protocol and reduced the time complexity from O(n²) to O(n).A comparative experiment was conducted using Hyperledger Caliper to prove that the delay of the improved algorithm is lower than PBFT algorithm, and the throughput is higher than PBFT algorithm.A quantitative analysis of the possibility of attack and the probability of successful attack was carried out, and it was determined that the smart contract provides tamper-proof modification for the monitoring data on the chain.Comparative analysis proves that the proposed blockchain-based railway engineering construction safety monitoring data sharing model is good than other models in terms of consensus efficiency, TPS and block generation speed.…”

Incremental cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm with n-out-of-K fusion rule by Xiao-ge ZHANG, Shi-bing ZHANG, Gong-an QIU

“…The algorithm divided the total relays into two subsections.The front subsection included N number of relays,and the later one included K−N number of relays.Firstly,the front N relays sensed the spectrum.If no more than m_L number of relays had detected the existing of the primary user,the global detection was that the spectrum holes existed.If more than m_H number of relays had detected the existing of the primary user,the global detection was that no spectrum holes existed.Otherwise,the later K−N number of relays continued to sense the spectrum.The global detection was that the spectrum holes existed only when there were totally over n number of relays having detected the existing of the primary user in the two sensing stages.The object function was built for minimizing the time-slot consumption by adjusting the parameters m_L,m_H and N with the limit of detection probability and false probability.Simulation results show that the proposed incremental cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm has much lower time-slot consumption than the traditional one by properly setting the parameters with high sensing performance kept.…”
