Rate splitting based robust secure transmission scheme in RIS-assisted satellite-terrestrial integrated network by Bai ZHAO, Min LIN, Shengjie XIAO, Ming CHENG, Yifan FENG, Lvxi YANG

“…Firstly, considering a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted satellite terrestrial integrated network, the satellite employed the rate splitting multiple access technique to serve multiple earth stations in the presence of multiple eavers-droppers(Eves), while the terrestrial network leveraged multicast technique to serve many ground users with the assist of RIS.Secondly, assuming that only the Eves’ imperfect channel state information could be obtained, a joint optimization problem was formulated to minimize the total transmit power, while ensuring the quality-of-service requirement for all users, and adhering to intercept probabilistic constraints.To tackle this noncom vex problem, the S-procedure and the successive convex approximation approach were employed to convert the intercept probabilistic constraints into solved ones.And then a nuclear norm-based penalty function was employed to propose a robust joint algorithm to obtain the robust beamforming weight vectors and transmit power.Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed transmission scheme.…”

Multi relay node selection strategy for energy capture collaborative relay network by Xian-zhong TIAN, Min GUO, Jia-cun HE, Gao LIU, Yi-nan ZHU

“…An energy capture cooperative relay network was studied.Unlike traditional cooperative relay networks,the relay nodes generally did not have a fixed energy supply but could carry out energy capture.For this network,a natural question was how to determine whether the relay nodes perform energy capture or data forwarding,and how to select the relay node to assist the information transmission between the source node and the destination node.Based on this problem,a multi-relay node selection scheme was proposed,which select the operation according to the energy of the current time slot of the relay node.In each time slot,the relay node that meet the battery threshold requirements was selected to assist in transmission.The Markov chain was used to model the charging and discharging process of the relay node battery,and the probability of interruption and throughput of the wireless network was obtained.And the value of the battery threshold when the throughput was maximized,that is,when the probability of network breakage was minimum was solved.Finally,the advantages of this scheme were verified by numerical experiments.…”

Block-based fair payment scheme under delegation computation by Ta LI, Youliang TIAN, Kang XIANG, Hongfeng GAO

“…In the traditional delegation computation,due to the self-interested behavior of both participants,there were some problems such as the denial of the principal and the dishonest calculation by the computing party.In the payment phase,a third party was required to ensure the fairness of the payment,which led to extra costs and risks of disclosure of participants' privacy.Game theory was used to analyze the Nash equilibrium solution between the two parties in the payment process,and a fair payment protocol based on time commitment of bitcoin was proposed.Firstly,the bitcoin time commitment technology was used to ensure the fairness of payment.Secondly,the decentralized feature of block chain was used to replace the third-party service to protect the privacy of all parties and realize the source of responsibility.Finally,the scheme was analyzed from the perspective of security and correctness,which proved that the participants choose behavioral strategies honestly in the payment process.The scheme proposed in this paper not only solved the problem of fair payment in traditional delegation computation,but also protected the privacy of participants.…”

Study on remote sensing satellites random access to internet constellation and on-orbit intelligent processing by Xiaoyu CHANG, Weijia ZHANG, Xudong1 LI, Xiaonan ZHANG, Gang WANG, Gang JIA

“…The low earth orbit (LEO) satellite Internet constellation is a hot spot in current global research.And it is highly anticipated that the LEO satellite Internet constellation supports random access to remote sensing satellites and direct on-orbit information processing.However, due to the different orbital heights, the difficult access problems of the bidirectional highly dynamic heterogeneous constellation will be caused.Firstly, the random access scenario under different orbit characteristics and satellite numbers of LEO satellite Internet constellation was set up, and the impact of the spatiotemporal discontinuous visibility and Doppler frequency shift on the remote sensing satellite access performance was focused on.Secondly, based on the characteristics of the random access scenario, the process of on-orbit processing tasks with different delays and the allocation of satellite-ground functions were analyzed.Finally, the problems existing in the current on-orbit intelligent processing algorithm and the focus of future research were expounded, so as to provide reliable theoretical support for the development and applications of LEO satellite Internet constellation and remote sensing satellites in the future.…”
