On the coding rate for differential modulation and detections by Ya-chong XU, Dong-wei HU

“…Differential demodulation is an important method of solving the information transmission which is used in the high dynamic condition of the wireless communication.The coding rate for differential modulation and detec-tions neither be too high,nor be too low.To find the optimal coding rate,the Shannon limit of error free transmis-sions with different rates for differential BPSK and differential QPSK were derived.Thereafter,the optimal coding rate was obtained from the view point of information theory.Convolutional codes and Turbo codes with different rates were employed,and simulations were conducted for the verification of the result.…”

Construction method of optimal codebook based on Zadoff-Chu matrix by Yubo LI, Shengyi LIU, Jingjing ZHANG, Dongyan JIA

“…Codebooks with low-coherence have wide utilization in code division multiple access (CDMA) communications,quantum information theory,compressed sensing and so on.In order to expand the number of codebooks,the restrictions on the transformation matrix were relaxed.Based on the Zadoff-Chu matrix,new codebooks were constructed using the difference set,almost difference set,and finite field character sum.The proposed codebooks were optimal or near optimal according to the Welch bound or Levenstein bound.Through experimental simulation,it is found that the deterministic measurement matrices constructed using these codebooks also have good performance in the process of compressed sensing.…”

Survey of side channel attack on encrypted network traffic by Ding LI, Yuefei ZHU, Bin LU, Wei LIN

“…By analyzing and extracting information such as packet size and timing leaked during Web application communication, side channel attack on encrypted network traffic is able to recognize users' identity and behavior and even restore the original data entered by users.A model of side channel attack on encrypted network traffic according to information theory was developed.Based on the unified model, the methods and results of representative attacks such as fingerprinting attacks, keystroke attacks and speech attacks were analyzed in detail.Furthermore, defense methods of hiding packet size and timing information were discussed.At last, possible research directions were prospected with the frontiers of technology development.…”

Dynamic system evolution and markov chain approximation by Roderick V. Nicholas Melnik

“…In this paper computational aspects of the mathematical modelling of dynamic system evolution have been considered as a problem in information theory. The construction of mathematical models is treated as a decision making process with limited available information.The solution of the problem is associated with a computational model based on heuristics of a Markov Chain in a discrete space–time of events. …”

An overview of low resolution quantization in wireless communication system by Dan QIAO, Chaokai WEN, Feifei GAO, Shi JIN

“…Compared to the 4th generation (4G) mobile communication technology,the 5th generation (5G) mobile communication technology will provide tens of times of peak rate increase,reaching up to several thousands megabit per second.The coming wireless communication systems face the problems of expensive hardware cost and high power consumption,which is becoming a bottleneck of high-rate communication systems.To cope with these problems,redesigning communication systems with the receiver using finite precision analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is one possible approach.The analysis of recent information theory for the AWGN channel shows that the performance loss due to 2~3 bit ADC acceptable.The application of low resolution quantization in wireless communication systems was focused on,an overview of the channel capacity and receiver design under low-precision ADC was provided.…”

Network isolation communication scheme to resist against covert channel by Feng-hua LI, Miao-miao TAN, Kai FAN, Kui GENG, Fu ZHAO

“…With the rapid development of network technologies，real-time information exchanging between heterogeneous networks becomes more frequently.To effectively guarantee the secure and real-time information exchanging crossing different networks，a network isolation communication scheme (NICS) is proposed to resist against covert channel.A newly theoretical model of NICS is designed and proved based on the information theory，and followed with a specific solution.Security analysis indicates that the NICS is able to effectively solve problems of the potential packet lengths’ covert channel (PLCC) and the status covert channel (SCC) in most of the existing work; and，given similar amount of information for exchanging，the NICS can achieve equivalent security degree with the physical isolation in terms of resisting against the covert channel.…”

Research on federated learning approach based on local differential privacy by Haiyan KANG, Yuanrui JI

“…As a type of collaborative machine learning framework, federated learning is capable of preserving private data from participants while training the data into useful models.Nevertheless, from a viewpoint of information theory, it is still vulnerable for a curious server to infer private information from the shared models uploaded by participants.To solve the inference attack problem in federated learning training, a local differential privacy federated learning (LDP-FL) approach was proposed.Firstly, to ensure the federated model training process was protected from inference attacks, a local differential privacy mechanism was designed for transmission of parameters in federated learning.Secondly, a performance loss constraint mechanism for federated learning was proposed and designed to reduce the performance loss of local differential privacy federated model by optimizing the constraint range of the loss function.Finally, the effectiveness of proposed LDP-FL approach was verified by comparative experiments on MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets.…”
