A low complexity pilot assignment algorithm based on user polar coordinates in CF-mMIMO systems by Shao GUO, Peng PAN, Yaozong FAN

“…Absrtact: In order to reduce the pilot contamination in the cell-free massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system, a low complexity pilot assignment algorithm based on user polar coordinates was proposed.Firstly, a Gaussian weighted density algorithm was proposed to determine a centroid as the polar coordinates center point in the system coverage area, then pre-assigned the pilot in order according to the angular coordinates, so that users who reused the same pilot had a greater probability of having a longer distance, and henced reduce the pilot contamination.A low complexity distance detection algorithm was then proposed to ensure that the user spacing between any two users multiplexing the same pilot was greater than the threshold.The simulation results show that the proposed pilot assignment algorithm effectively reduce pilot contamination, improve the uplink throughput of 95% users of the system, and achieve a good compromise between performance and complexity.…”

CCA-secure verifiable Mix-Net protocol by Long-hai LI, Cheng-qiang HUANG, Shang-mei XU, Shao-feng FU

“…A CCA-secure verifiable Mix-Net protocol with provable security was proposed.The protocol was based on Wikström’s Mix-Net and improves its security by introducing an improved key generation algorithm and a new method for constructing proof of secret shuffling.Without revealing the correspondence between inputs and outputs,proposed protocol enables everyone to verify the correctness of output plaintexts through checking evidences broadcasted by each server.Thus,it satisfies public verifiability.Any sender can trace and examine the processing procedure of its ciphertext.Thus,proposed protocol satisfies sender verifiability.It is prored to be CCA-secure under the assumption of random oracle.Compared with previous mix-net schemes which are CCA-secure,proposed protocol does not require any trusted center,and incurs fewer interactions between servers which also resulting in a lower computation and communication complexity.Hence,the protocol is an ideal cryptographic tool for constructing secure electronic election protocol.…”
