Lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy based on Markov chain by Feng LI, Ya-li SI, Zhen CHEN, Li-min SHEN

“…A lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy (MOR) was proposed based on Markov chain.In the scheme,the execute process of network was divided into a plurality of equal time period,and the random encounter state of node in each time period was represented by activity degree.The state sequence of a plurality of continuous time period constitutes a discrete Markov chain.The activity degree of encounter node was estimated by Markov model to predict its state of future time period,which can enhance the accuracy of activity degree estimation.Then,the method of comprehensive evaluating forwarding utility was designed based on the activity degree of node and the average encounter interval.MOR used the utility of node for making a routing forwarding decision.Each node only maintained a state of last time period and a state transition probability matrix,and a vector recording the average encounter interval of nodes.So,the routing forwarding decision algorithm was simple and efficient,low time and space complexity.Furthermore,the method was proposed to set optimal number of the message copy based on multiple factors,which can effectively balance the utilization of network resources.Results show that compared with existing algorithms,MOR algorithm can effectively increase the delivery ratio and reduce the delivery delay,and lower routing overhead ratio.…”

Cyber attacks and privacy protection distributed consensus algorithm for multi-agent systems by Ming XU, Baojun ZHANG, Yiming WU, Chenduo YING, Ning ZHENG

“…To solve the consensus problem of multi-agent systems in the environment of cyber attacks and information eavesdropping, an average consensus algorithm that can effectively resist network denial of service (DoS) attacks and protect nodes’ state privacy was proposed.Firstly, combined with the characteristics of DoS attacks in networked control systems, a periodic DoS attack model related to time was constructed.Then a distributed network node information processing mechanism based on differential privacy was proposed by using the information interaction between neighbor nodes, and then it was introduced into the average consensus algorithm.Furthermore, combined with the event-triggered mechanism, a consensus algorithm method suitable for undirected communication networks under DoS attacks was proposed, and its convergence and privacy protection performance were analyzed strictly mathematically.Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was verified by a numerical simulation experiment and hardware experiment.…”
