Research on key technologies of safety monitoring data sharing for railway engineering construction based on blockchain by Yuhong LIU, Liang YANG, Chunhui PIAO, Zhiguo ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problems that the monitoring data was easy to be tampered with in the process of railway engineering construction safety monitoring, and the authenticity of the data might be questioned during the accountability of accidents, a blockchain-based railway engineering construction safety monitoring data sharing model was proposed.The characteristics of automatic execution of smart contracts ensured the transparency of the process of monitoring data on the chain.In the PBFT algorithm, there was a problem that the Byzantine nodes and the normal nodes were selected as the master node with the same probability, a reputation-based practical Byzantine fault tolerance algorithm was proposed.Streaming data on the chain might cause network congestion, which simplified the consensus protocol and reduced the time complexity from O(n²) to O(n).A comparative experiment was conducted using Hyperledger Caliper to prove that the delay of the improved algorithm is lower than PBFT algorithm, and the throughput is higher than PBFT algorithm.A quantitative analysis of the possibility of attack and the probability of successful attack was carried out, and it was determined that the smart contract provides tamper-proof modification for the monitoring data on the chain.Comparative analysis proves that the proposed blockchain-based railway engineering construction safety monitoring data sharing model is good than other models in terms of consensus efficiency, TPS and block generation speed.…”

Hybrid precoding and power allocation for mmWave NOMA systems based on time delay line arrays by Gangcan SUN, Xinli WU, Wanming HAO, Zhengyu ZHU

“…Methods:To reduce inter-user interference,an improved K-means algorithm is proposed to group users and select a cluster head for each group of users, which maximizes the correlation of user channels in the same cluster and reduces the correlation between users in different clusters as much as possible;Then,a low-complexity analog precoding is designed to maximize the array gain of the antenna based on the relevant user channel matrix composed of the cluster head set, followed by a digital precoding designed to eliminate inter-user interference with the maximum equivalent channel gain between beams using a forced-zero technique; Finally, an EE maximization problem is formed to optimize the transmit power under users'quality of services and total transmit power constraints,and a two-layer iterative algorithm is proposed for the resulting non-convex optimization problem. …”
