Social-aware caching and forwarding for video streaming in information-centric 5G VANET by Tengfei CAO, Cuili JIANG, Zhiqiang LIU, Xiaoying WANG

“…The arrival of 5G-enabled communication technology has laid the foundation for providing high-quality video stream services in vehicular Ad Hoc network (VANET).However,current VANET still distribute video content over IP networks which design for host communication instead of content distribution.The mismatch between network function and design goals brings huge challenges for providing high quality video service.Based on the above questions,a social-aware caching and forwarding was proposed to support efficient video streaming services and the time complexity of the algorithm was O(m²).Firstly,a virtual community was constructed by analyzing the user's behaviors.Then,a fast forwarding scheme was introduced to ensure that users could discover the requested videos nearby.Finally,a community-based caching policy was proposed to optimize the in-community caching distributions.Simulation results show how the proposed strategy achieves better performance than other state-of-art solutions in terms of caching hit ratio,searching delay and control overhead.…”

Research and application of VoLTE video call quality based on machine learning by Qizhu ZHONG

“…To overcome the shortcomings of current methods for evaluating VoLTE video call quality,a method for evaluating VoLTE video call quality without reference based on machine learning and network index parameters was proposed.Firstly,the network parameters of the decoding core network were collected and preprocessed; then,the key features for VoLTE video call quality assessment were selected,and a reference-free evaluation model for VoLTE video quality assessment was constructed by comparing and selecting appropriate machine learning algorithms,so as to achieve real-time VoLTE video call quality assessment independent of the test environment and the original video.By researching the preprocessing of feature index data extracted from XDR data,the standardization of feature index was solved,and the evaluation model of feature input was convenient; the key features of VoLTE video call were selected and evaluated by feature engineering,which reduced the feature dimension and the complexity of the algorithm; at the same time,advanced machine learning technology was adopted to ensure and enhance the algorithm assessment accuracy.…”

Verifiable access control scheme based on unpaired CP-ABE in fog computing by Jiangtao DONG, Peiwen YAN, Ruizhong DU

“…Fog computing extends computing power and data analysis applications to the edge of the network, solves the latency problem of cloud computing, and also brings new challenges to data security.Attribute encryption based on ciphertext strategy (CP-ABE) is a technology to ensure data confidentiality and fine-grained access control.The excessive computational overhead of bilinear pairing restricts its application and development.In response to this, a verifiable access control scheme was proposed based on unpaired CP-ABE in fog computing.In order to make CP-ABE more efficient, simple scalar multiplication in elliptic curve encryption was used to replace bilinear pairing, thereby reducing the overall computational overhead.Decryption operations were outsourced to fog nodes to reduce user computational complexity, and based on the tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of the blockchain, the correctness of the access transaction was verified and the access authorization process was recorded.Security and performance analysis shows that the scheme is safe under the elliptic curve decision-making DBDH (Diffie-Hellman) assumption, and the calculation efficiency is higher.…”

Improved SOR signal detection algorithm in massive MIMO-TRDMA systems by Mingyue WANG, Fangwei LI, Xiaorong JING, Haibo ZHANG, Junzhou XIONG

“…In the massive multi-input multi-output time-reversal division multiple access (MIMO-TRDMA) systems, the traditional linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) algorithm achieved approximately the best performance.However, the matrix inversion of the MMSE algorithm was too complicated to ensure real-time processing of signal detection.To solve this problem, an improved successive over-relaxation (SOR) signal detection optimization algorithm was proposed.The proposed algorithm reasonably upgraded the solution of linear equations to prevent the complicated calculation of matrix inversion.Meanwhile, the steepest descent idea was used to provide an effective search direction for the SOR signal detection algorithm, achieving a rapid convergence rate and stronger inspection performance.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has the similar best performance with fewer update times compared with the traditional MMSE algorithm, and the calculation complexity is reduced from O(M³)to O(²).…”
