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.…”

Performance analysis of secrecy rate for SWIPT in massive antenna by Hui BAO, Minmin ZHANG, Yaqing YAO, Hui WANG

“…In the multi-drop broadcast system,the existing research is to optimize the single-user security rate in the complete channel state information.In fact,it’s impossible that there exists only one user in the system.The base station often receives incomplete channel state information.Aiming at this problem,a robust beamforming scheme was proposed.In the multi-user case,considering the influence of channel estimation error on the system security rate,the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to optimize the emission beamforming vector,artificial noise covariance and power split ratio to ensure that the user collects a certain energy while maximizing the safe transmission rate.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is slightly lower than the security rate in the ideal case,but it is meaningful to the actual system,taking into account the existence of eavesdropping users and the estimation error.…”

Design of precoding matrices in MIMO full duplex two-way security communication system by Weijia LEI, Yang ZHOU, Xianzhong XIE, Hongjiang LEI

“…The design of precoding matrices was studied in the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) full-duplex two-way security communication system where legitimate nodes transmit the confidential information accompanied by the artificial noise while receiving information.For the scenario where the perfect channel state information (CSI) of legitimate channels and eavesdropping channels was available,the difference of concave/convex (DC) programming was used to optimize the precoding matrices of the information signal and the artificial noise for the maximization of the secrecy sum rate.For the scenario where the CSI was imperfect,the channels were modeled by using worst-case criterion and the weighted minimum mean square error algorithm was used to get the robust precoding matrices of the information signal and the artificial noise.The simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm can effectively promote the secrecy sum rate of the system.…”
