Lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy based on Markov chain by Feng LI, Ya-li SI, Zhen CHEN, Li-min SHEN

“…A lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy (MOR) was proposed based on Markov chain.In the scheme,the execute process of network was divided into a plurality of equal time period,and the random encounter state of node in each time period was represented by activity degree.The state sequence of a plurality of continuous time period constitutes a discrete Markov chain.The activity degree of encounter node was estimated by Markov model to predict its state of future time period,which can enhance the accuracy of activity degree estimation.Then,the method of comprehensive evaluating forwarding utility was designed based on the activity degree of node and the average encounter interval.MOR used the utility of node for making a routing forwarding decision.Each node only maintained a state of last time period and a state transition probability matrix,and a vector recording the average encounter interval of nodes.So,the routing forwarding decision algorithm was simple and efficient,low time and space complexity.Furthermore,the method was proposed to set optimal number of the message copy based on multiple factors,which can effectively balance the utilization of network resources.Results show that compared with existing algorithms,MOR algorithm can effectively increase the delivery ratio and reduce the delivery delay,and lower routing overhead ratio.…”

Cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on crowd trust and decision-making mechanism by Xiao-mao WANG, Chuan-he HUANG, Yi-long LV, Bin WANG, Xi-ying FAN, Hao ZHOU

“…A distributed consensus-based scheme by simulating the crowd trust and decision-making mechanism was proposed.This scheme firstly predicts the dynamic trust value among sensing users by the previous cooperative process,and then generates the user's relative trust value,and makes the data interaction among the users by using the combination of relative trust value and decision-making mechanism.All users' state can reach a consensus as the credible and iterative data interaction.All users get the final results by the determinant algorithm.This new spectrum sensing scheme utilizes the imbalance of each users' sensing ability in the real environment.Each secondary user can maintain cooperation with others only through the local information exchange with the neighbors.It is quite different from traditional spectrum sensing scheme,such as OR-rule,1-out-of-N rule and ordinary iterative method.Three SSDF attacks were analysed,on the basis of the corresponding anti-attack policy was proposed.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the new scheme is better than the existing cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm in accuracy and security.New scheme not only can improve the accuracy of spectrum sensing but also has the strong anti-attack capability.…”
