Using random subcarrier weighting for multi-carrier systems physical layer security by Zhou ZHONG, Liang JIN, Kai-zhi HUANG

“…An OFDM security model and a physical layer security transmission scheme were proposed for multi-carrier systems to achieve low probability of interception.In contrast to the resource allocation algorithm which would be disabled at the low SNR,this method designed the subcarrier transmission weighting vectors to randomize the eavesdropper’s signals but not the authorized receiver’s signals.The channel state information was the only character to distinguish authorized receivers and eavesdroppers,which was conducted to guide the weighting vectors design.Simulation results show that the proposed method guarantees that authorized receiver performs transmitted reference demodulation successfully,while the eavesdroppers can not detect the transmitted symbols.…”

Joint optimization of edge computing and caching in NDN by Yu ZHANG, Min CHENG

“…Named data networking (NDN) is architecturally easier to integrate with edge computing as its routing is based on content names and its nodes have caching capabilities.Firstly, an integrated framework was proposed for implementing dynamic coordination of networking, computing and caching in NDN.Then, considering the variability of content popularity in different regions, a matrix factorization-based algorithm was proposed to predict local content popularity, and deep reinforcement learning was used to solve the the problem of joint optimization for computing and caching resource allocation and cache placement policy with the goal of maximizing system operating profit.Finally, the simulation environment was built in ndnSIM.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has significant advantages in improving cache hit rate, reducing the average delay and the load on the remote servers.…”
