Parameterised design of robust point‐to‐point fast motion controller by Wentao Yu, Guoyang Cheng

“…The controller initially resorts to a saturated control signal for the fastest acceleration or braking if possible and then seamlessly gives way to a linear control strategy once the motion slows down. The damping ratio and natural frequency of the linear control law are chosen as the design parameters to allow for a better tuning of the control performance. …”

Verifiable access control scheme based on unpaired CP-ABE in fog computing by Jiangtao DONG, Peiwen YAN, Ruizhong DU

“…Fog computing extends computing power and data analysis applications to the edge of the network, solves the latency problem of cloud computing, and also brings new challenges to data security.Attribute encryption based on ciphertext strategy (CP-ABE) is a technology to ensure data confidentiality and fine-grained access control.The excessive computational overhead of bilinear pairing restricts its application and development.In response to this, a verifiable access control scheme was proposed based on unpaired CP-ABE in fog computing.In order to make CP-ABE more efficient, simple scalar multiplication in elliptic curve encryption was used to replace bilinear pairing, thereby reducing the overall computational overhead.Decryption operations were outsourced to fog nodes to reduce user computational complexity, and based on the tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of the blockchain, the correctness of the access transaction was verified and the access authorization process was recorded.Security and performance analysis shows that the scheme is safe under the elliptic curve decision-making DBDH (Diffie-Hellman) assumption, and the calculation efficiency is higher.…”

Gain-aware caching scheme for information-centric networking by Long CHEN, Hong-bo TANG, Xing-guo LUO, Yi BAI, Zhen ZHANG

“…The in-network caching system of information-centric networking had to deal with the popularity of huge number of content chunks and make efficient usage of storage resources.A content popularity based caching gain opti-mization model aimed to get maximum reduction of content retrieve cost was established,and a gain-aware caching scheme was proposed.By utilizing filtering effect of cache to request flow is scheme achieves caching cooperation and diversity potentially while maximizing caching gain of every single node.Bloom filter based sliding window strategy captures the content chunks with high caching gain according to request arrival interval and retrieval cost from the source.Analysis shows that the method can drastically reduce memory consumption caused by popularity monitoring.The simu-lation results illuminate that this scheme is well aware of content popularity based caching gain,and gets better band-width saving and cache hit ratio when content popularity is changing dynamically.…”

Cognitive waveform design for radar-communication transceiver networks by Yu YAO, Yanjie LI, Lenan WU, Pu MIAO, Xiaoyu TANG

“…The system architecture for cognitive radar-communication (CRC) transceiver was proposed.A cognitive waveforms design approach, which is suitable for simultaneously performing both data communication and target detection was presented.This approach aims at estimating target scattering coefficient (TSC) from the radar scene and facilitating high-data-rate communications.In order to minimize the mean square error (MSE) of the TSC, a convex cost function was established.The peak to average power ratio (PAPR)-constrained optimal solution was achieved by applying the Kalman filtering-based strategy to design the set of ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission pulses and embed into them the information data with the M-ary position phase shift keying modulation technique.In addition to theoretical considerations, the simulation results show an improvement in TSC estimation and target detection probability as the number of iterations increases, while still transmitting data rates in the range of several Mbit/s with low bit error rates between CRC transceivers.…”
