A new offloading paradigm:vehicular edge task offloading based on parked vehicles relay by Peiyang DONG, Junhui ZHAO, Dan ZOU, Xiaoke SUN

“…Vehicular edge computing (VEC) is a key technology that can realize low latency and high reliability in vehicular network.VEC can solve the problem of insufficient computing of vehicle terminals,and reduce the communication service delay of vehicular network,avoiding a large amount of waste of free resources in parked vehicles on the road.A task offloading scheme based on parked vehicles relay was proposed,which could reduce the delay in vehicles’ communication process into the millisecond level by rationally deploying the edge server and introducing the cooperative relay technology.Numerical results indicate that compared to direct V2I offloading model,the communication delay can be reduced by 20% in the parked vehicle relay transmission.…”

Identity authentication scheme based on identity-based encryption by Ren-ji HUANG, Xiao-ping WU, Hong-cheng LI

“…In large-scale communication nodes network,there are a large number of network nodes and so many types of equipment.So there are problems of certificate management difficulties and resource waste in the tradi-tional PKI cryptosystem.A mutual node authentication scheme based on identity-based encryption,which solved the problem of the digital certificate management in the PKI system by the identity-based encryption and the key escrow problem in identity based cryptograph by splitting the key as well,was designed.At the same time,the introduction of random factor,timestamp and hash algorithm in the authentication protocol prevented various network attacks.Finally,the security and efficiency of the encryption algorithm and the security of the authentication protocol were analyzed,which proved the security and reliability of the authentication scheme.…”
