Secure resource allocation in hybrid energy-harvesting relay and full-duplex receiver by Wei WANG, Xinrui LI, Liuguo YIN, Guoan ZHANG, Shibing ZHANG

“…Taking into account the wireless physical layer security in energy-constrained relaying systems,a secure resource allocation scheme was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.The utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the secrecy rate by jointly optimizing the power splitting (PS) ratio and the transmit powers under the constraint of the transmit powers of the nodes and the harvested energy of the relay.The objective problem,which is non-convex,was decoupled into two subproblems.One was to optimize the PS ratio,another was to optimize the transmit powers.The optimal solution of the subproblems can be obtained in the closed-form.Then,the suboptimal solution is obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show the effects of artificial noise signal,residual self-interference signal,transmit power of nodes,amplification factor of relay and other factors on the security performance.Compared with the traditional gradient descent algorithm,the proposed algorithm can reduce more than 80% of the computational load,while the algorithm has the slightly better performance.…”

Improving energy efficiency and network performance in IaaS cloud with virtual machine placement by Jian-kang DONG, Hong-bo WANG, Yang-yang LI, Shi-duan CHENG

“…The existing virtual machine(VM) placement schemes mostly reduce energy consumption by optimizing utilization of physical server or network element.However,the aggressive consolidation of these resources may lead to network performance degradation.In view of this,a VM placement scheme was proposed to achieve two objectives.One is to minimize the number of activating physical machines and network elements to reduce the energy consumption,and the other is to minimize the maximum link utilization to improve the network performance.This scheme is able to reduce the energy consumption caused by physical servers and network equipment while optimizing the network performance,making a trade off between energy efficiency and network performance.A novel two-stage heuristic algorithm for a solution was designed.Firstly,the hierarchical clustering algorithm based on minimum cut and best fit algorithm was used to optimize energy efficiency,and then,local search algorithm was used to minimize the maximum link utilization.The simulations show that this solution achieves good results.…”
