Fog-aided identity privacy protection scheme for sensing users in mobile crowd sensing by Hui LIU, Renwan BI, Jinbo XIONG, Mingfeng ZHAO, Biao JIN, Jie LIN

“…In mobile crowd sensing(MCS),attackers can reconstruct the social circle among sensing users,who use the social association information among sensing users and the correlation between the sensing user’s identity and sensing data to further attack a social alliance.In order to tackle this issue,a fog-aided identity privacy protection scheme is proposed.Firstly,two fog nodes are introduced which located at the edge of the sensing terminal.The one is task allocation center (TC) for handling the reasonable allocation of sensing tasks,and the other is data center (DC) for calculating sensing data.Furthermore,differential privacy is employed for preventing attackers from acquiring the specific social association weight of sensing users.Finally,in order to prevent attackers from obtaining the sensing users' identity information and sensing data at the same time,sensing users use different blind identities to communicate with TC and DC.Security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can ensure the security of identity privacy information of sensing users in the process of completing sensing tasks.Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can protect the social association information between sensing users,and has a low delay.…”

Dynamic adaptive offloading method based on WPT-MEC by Lin SU, Xiaochao DANG, Zhanjun HAO, Chunrui RU, Xu SHANG

“…For the dynamic fading time-varying channel state information, a dynamic adaptive offloading (RLDO) method based on WPT-MEC was proposed to solve the task offloading and resource optimization problems for multiple users by combining wireless power transmission (WPT) technology and mobile edge computing (MEC).The wireless power transmission technology can provide energy to wireless end-user (WEU) and effectively alleviate the problem of limited energy supply from conventional batteries.To maximize the resource utilization, a wireless powered MEC network model was designed where the energy collected by the wireless end-user from the wireless access point (AP) was stored in a rechargeable battery, and then this energy was used for task computation or task offloading.The approach performed real-time offloading decisions through a fully connected deep neural networks (DNN) deployed in the MEC server.A fully binary offloading strategy was used for the offloading decision.Simulation results show that the computation rate of the method can still be maintained above 92% in a multi-user time-varying wireless channel-oriented environment.Compared with the basic method, it has great advantages in improving the calculation rate, reducing the delay and energy consumption，and effectively reduces computational complexity.…”
