Multiple topics evolution model based on similarity of interference by Yefei CHEN, Xuejun ZHANG, Weidong HUANG

“…The current researches of evolution model mainly focus on the spread of the individual topics,rarely considering the influential factors between multiple topics.A new topic evolution model was proposed by considering the interference among topics based on SIR model,which characterized by the influence of the similarity of the topic on the probability of propagation.The experimental results show that within the critical value,the similarity degree of positive and negative trends enhance or hinder the process of topic evolution,and the degree of action varies with the degree of interference nodes,which is expressed as evolutionary consistency under positive similarity and the evolutionary separability under negative similarity.When the critical value is exceeded,the effect of strengthening or hindering tends to saturation.…”

Research on intrusion response strategy based on static Bayesian game in mobile edge computing network by Wei FAN, Cheng PENG, Dali ZHU, Yuqing WANG

“…In the mobile edge computing (MEC) environment, the resources of edge nodes are limited.It is difficult to detect the intrusion process accurately, and there is no effective intrusion response strategy to deal with external intrusions.An intrusion detection network structure suitable for mobile edge computing environment was proposed and an intrusion response decision model based on static Bayesian game was established to simulate the network interaction behavior between edge nodes and external intruders.The probability of attackers and defenders in the game process was predicted respectively.The influence of the system resource, the cost of intrusion response, the detection rate and false alarm rate were considered comprehensively by the intrusion response decision model.The response decision of the intrusion detection system was optimized on the basis of the considering both resource consumption of the intrusion detection and the privacy protection of the edge nodes.The factors that affected the decision-making of intrusion response were analyzed, and the experimental basis for the specific application was provided.…”

Deletable blockchain based on threshold ring signature by Yanli REN, Danting XU, Xinpeng ZHANG, Dawu GU

“…With the development of blockchain,huge storage space is needed to store all of blockchain data.In addition,data can’t be changed once it is packaged into the chain,and it may be possible for overdue data to take up large storage space.Firstly,a threshold ring signature scheme was improved,and then a deletable blockchain scheme based on the mechanism of proof of space (PoSpace) consensus was constructed.Most of nodes could sign and delete a block together when block data was overdue,and the overall structure of the blockchain was unchanged.Several experiments in a simulated environment were executed,and the results show that the proposed blockchain scheme has high efficiency in generating and delegating a block.Meanwhile,the deletion of a block doesn’t influence the storage and use of other blocks.…”

Wireless secure enhancement with cooperative jamming by Li-juan ZHANG, Zhi-hong LIU, Hong-bo ZHANG, Yong ZENG, Jian-feng MA

“…Secrecy capacity of intrinsically secure communication graph (iS-Graph) can be increased by reducing the signal quality of eavesdroppers with adding controlled interferences.The transmission of secret messages over wireless channels in which the legitimate nodes were aided by cooperative jamming was studied,and a secure communication graph with jamming,jS-Graph was proposed.First,the security properties of jS-Graph was characterized.Then,jamming strategies to confuse eavesdroppers were proposed.To tackle the nearby eavesdropper problem,a two-stage cooperative jamming strategy to jam the eavesdroppers near the source or the destination was applied.The results demonstrate that,with the aid of cooperative jamming the secure communication graph can lead to secrecy gains.These results help to clarify how the presence of eavesdroppers and the cooperative jamming can influence secure connectivity in wireless networks.…”

Transmission characteristics of air-ground channel in aerial communication platform by Xiaobin FU, Baohui ZHENG

“…Satellite communication can solve the problem of global communication,at the same time,it follows the problems of difficult deploy and limited satellite resources.Aerial communication platform is consisted of aircraft with payload communication and not more than 10 km from ground.The platform communicating with ground nodes can solve the weakness of traditional satellite communication.The loss of air-to-ground channel was analyzed to model the air-to-ground wideband channel in Ku and Ka band.The consequence of theory and simulation demonstrates that the fading of the model has serious influence on transmission performance.In low elevation transmission,the value of K-factor is small because of multipath reception.Simulation results show that orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) can be a good candidate for wideband communications to transmit payload data from aerial platform to ground station.…”

Impact of user behavior on network performance reliability by Juan ZHAO, Ping GUO, Hong-zhong DENG, Jun WU, Yue-jin TAN, Min ZHANG

“…Based on a lattice network,a user access behavior model was established to describe the statistical characteristics of user behavior including the clustering characteristics and the power law distribution.The phase transition point was used to analysis the influence of the statistical characteristics of user behavior on the network performance reliability.It was shown that the network performance reliability almost independent on the degree distribution of the server-visited bipartite network;however the hot changing of the small subset with the high degree server nodes improved the network reliability.The strength,frequency and the duration of the clustering characteristics have certain impact on the phase transition of network performance reliability.The phase transition point of network performance reliability moved to the right with the increase of the difference between the number of active users when the clustering characteristics happened and don’t.…”
