Distributed energy efficient beamforming algorithm for multicell multiuser downlink system by Wen-yang CHEN, Shi-wen HE, Yong-ming HUANG, Lv-xi YANG

“…A distributed energy efficient beamforming algorithm was studied for multicell multiuser downlink communication system.Firstly,the energy efficient optimization problem was first considered as the maximization of the ratio between the system sum rate and the system power consumption.The fractional programming optimization target was then transformed into a subtractive form via using the fractional programming theorem.Secondly,the problem was decomposed into some subproblems that can be solved respectively by introducing the concept of the interference temperature in cognitive radio networks.Finally,an effective distributed energy efficient beamforming algorithm was proposed by exploiting the Lagrangian duality theorem and optimization theorem.Compared to the classical energy efficient optimization algorithm,the proposed algorithm can achieve an obvious energy efficiency performance gain.…”

Inter-frame image coding scheme of color video based on Delaunay triangulation mesh by JIAO Wei-dong, LU Zhao-yang, HE Hua-jun, GUO Da-bo

“…An inter-frame image coding scheme of color video based on Delaunay triangulation（DT）mesh was proposed by using the redundancy between the luminance and chrominance components sufficiently.The DT image representation was only made for luminance component and the series motion estimation method was used to get the motion vectors for mesh nodes of Y component.Then the six parameters method was used to gain the motion vectors in triangles.Finally the similar transformation was used to generate the motion vectors of chrominance components.After motion estimation,the residual image is dealt with a special method to code.Simulation result shows that the proposed method has better subjective and objective quality than H.263 scheme.…”

Joint intelligent optimization of task offloading and service caching for vehicular edge computing by Lei LIU, Chen CHEN, Jie FENG, Qingqi PEI, Ci HE, Zhibin DOU

“…Given the contradiction between limited network resources and massive user demands in Internet of vehicles, an intelligent vehicular edge computing network architecture was proposed to achieve the comprehensive cooperation and intelligent management of network resources.Based on this architecture, a joint optimization scheme of task offloading and service caching was furtherly devised, which formulated an optimization problem about how to offload tasks and allocate computation and cache resources.In view of the dynamics, randomness and time variation of vehicular networks, an asynchronous distributed reinforcement learning algorithm was employed to obtain the optimal task offloading and resource management policy.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement in comparison with the other schemes.…”

Data aggregation based on the privacy-preserving element in wireless sensor networks by Wei-ni ZENG, Ya-ping LIN, Shi-ming HE, Jian-ping YU

“…A distributed mechanism was proposed to protect the data privacy during the data aggregation phase.The contributions of this mechanism are:1) Privacy-preserving element taking advantage of the algebraic properties of congruence was defined.In privacy-preserving elements,privacy data could be preserved without the extra data exchange,and the aggregation result could be recovered from the perturbed data in the cluster head.2)A flexible method for generating the privacy-preserving element was given.Thus,nodes could generate their privacy-preserving element without the extra data exchange,and the method was adapted to the dynamic reporting nodes.Extensive analysis showed that:compared with the centralized mechanism,the proposed mechanism has a better resistance to data loss,can avoid the single point problem and also consumes less communication overhead; compared with the other distributed mechanisms,the proposed mechanism is able to preserve privacy more efficiently while consuming less communication overhead.…”
