Dynamic resource scheduling strategy for 5G network slicing based on improved greedy algorithm by Qiang CHEN, Caixia LIU, Lingshu LI

“…Dealing with the problem of network resource utilization and the user experience,the network slicing as a novel technology is adopted in 5G.A dynamic resource scheduling strategy for 5G network slicing based on improved greedy algorithm was proposed.In the process of slice scheduling and user scheduling,a two layer slice-user model combined with the improved greedy algorithm was proposed,which ensured the slices with maximum service weight and the highest priority users combined together to complete corresponding services.The global resource optimal problem was transformed into a smaller sub problem by means of the optimal combination of each slice and every user,which improved the network resource utilization and the user experience in the meantime.The Matlab simulation results show that compared with existing algorithms,the proposed method could effective improve the system remaining resource utilization,system average QoE level and system throughput.…”

Game theory based forwarding control method for social network by Fangfang SHAN, Hui LI, Hui ZHU

“…With the rapid development of mobile communication and internet technology,the social network has become one of the mainstream social means used in people’s daily social life.To maintain and strengthen relationships with friends,users may share personal behavior and feelings through social networks.Forwarding these contents may result in privacy leakage.To help publishers make proper data forwarding decision,the benefits of both sides of the forwarding operation were analyzed,and a game theory based forwarding control method for social network was proposed which could effectively prevent dishonest data forwarding operation.By analyzing the benefits of both sides of forwarding operation and considering historical information,the probability of dishonest data forwarding operation was calculated and it was compared with the threshold set by publisher to make the forwarding decision.The procedure and framework of the game theory based forwarding control method was introduced.The benefits of both sides were defined and analyzed.The game play scenario was presented.Some results of experiments are shown to support that the method is effective and it can protect the security of content in social network.…”
