Research on scenario-based mechanism in privacy-aware mobile networks by Ben NIU, Feng-hua LI, Jia-feng HUA, Yuan-yuan HE

“…The well-developed information services has infiltrated in each part of our daily life,various novel ser-vice modes and applications provide us conveniences at the cost of our privacy.This situation becomes more serious with the increasing number of applications and users’ requirements.The privacy issues of scenario-based mechanism in mobile networks have been studied based on analyzing the state-of-the-art research trends.The threat and chal-lenges of privacy disclosure caused by the mobile network services,and review the scenarios,service models and attack models were introduced firstly.Followed,a comprehensive study on current status of background information,quality of services,and resource-restricted related privacy preservation were made.Finally,some key technologies on privacy preservation such as background information modeling and descripting,multi-background information fusion,quality of services descripting and modeling,self-adaptive methods based on historical information,pri-vacy-preserving solutions optimizing energy resources and privacy-preserving schemes equalizing multiple factors etc were posted.…”

Feedback bit allocation in distributed antenna array systems by Shuai ZHANG, Peng PAN, Cui WANG

“…In a frequency division duplex communication system,precoding at the base station usually requires terminal feedback channel state information.In a distributed array system,the channel conditions between the terminal and different access nodes in the cell are different because multiple access nodes are arranged at different locations in the cell.When the resources for feedback channel state information are limited,the allocation method of feedback bit needs to be optimized to improve the overall performance of the system.In a multi-user distributed array system,an access node selection method based on distance threshold was adopted.Based on this method,the quantization characteristics of the random vector quantization codebook and the Taylor expansion method were used to derive the system quantization capacity loss,and then an approximate expression was given.Based on this expression,a feedback bit allocation method was proposed.Compared with other allocation methods,the method of this paper was more universal because it did not limit the number of access nodes selected by the user.The simulation results show that the strategy proposed is superior to the traditional equal-bit allocation scheme and can obtain better performance when the feedback resources are limited.…”

Modeling Campaign Optimization Strategies in Political Elections under Uncertainty by Christopher, Senfuka, Paul, Kizito Mubiru, Maureen, N. Ssempijja

“…In most political campaigns,the overall goal of every candidate is to maximize the number of voters during the election exercise.In such an effort,cost effective methods in choosing the optimal campaign strategy areparamount.In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed that optimize campaign strategies of a political candidate.Considering uncertainty in voter support and cost implications in holding political rallies,we formulate a finite state markov decision process model where states of a markov chain represent possible states of support among voters.Using daily equal intervals,thecandidates‟s decision of whether or not to campaign and hold a political rally at a given location were made using discrete time Markov chains and dynamic programming over a finite period planning horizon.Empirical data was collected from two locations on a daily basis during the campaign exercise.The data collected was analyzed and tested to establish the optimal campaign strategy and costs at the respective locations.Results from the study indicated the existence of an optimal state-dependent campaign strategy and costs at the respective political rally locations.…”
