There is a contradiction to satisfy both Blue and Green design criteria simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a new BlueGreen topological control scheme to leverage the wireless link connectivity for WCNs using an adaptive encryption key allocation mechanism, named as Shared Backup Path Keys (SBPK). The BlueGreen SBPK can take into account the network dependable requirements such as service resilience, security assurance and energy efficiency as a whole, so as trading off between them to find an optimal solution. Actually, this challenging problem can be modeled as a global optimization problem, where the network working and backup elements such as nodes, links, encryption keys and their energy consumption are considered as a resource, and their utilization should be minimized. The case studies confirm that there is a trade-off optimal solution between the capacity efficiency and energy efficiency to achieve the dependable WCNs.展开更多

The objective of the proposed joint resource allocation schemes is to maximize the total utility of users as well as satisfy the required quality of service(QoS) such as the end-to-end response latency experienced by each user. We formulate the problem of joint resource allocation as a combinatorial optimization problem. Three evolutionary approaches are considered to solve the problem: genetic algorithm(GA), ant colony optimization with genetic algorithm(ACO-GA), and quantum genetic algorithm(QGA). To decrease the time complexity, we propose a mapping process between the resource allocation matrix and the chromosome of GA, ACO-GA, and QGA, search the available radio and cloud resource pairs based on the resource availability matrixes for ACOGA, and encode the difference value between the allocated resources and the minimum resource requirement for QGA. Extensive simulation results show that our proposed methods greatly outperform the existing algorithms in terms of running time, the accuracy of final results, the total utility, resource utilization and the end-to-end response latency guaranteeing.展开更多

In this paper,we study the problem of distributing video from cloud server to users in partially connected cooperative D2 D network using network coding. In such a scenario, the transmission conflicts occur from simultaneous transmissions of multiple devices, and the scheduling decision should be made not only on the encoded packets but also on the set of transmitting devices. We analyze the lower bound and give an integer linear formulation of the joint optimization problem over the set of transmitting devices and the packet combinations.We also propose a heuristic solution for this setup using a conflict graph and local graph at every device. Simulation results show that our coding scheme significantly reduces the number of transmission slots, which will increase the efficiency of video delivery.展开更多

Different from traditional pilot-aided estimation, semiblind estimation utilizes the unknown data symbols in addition to the known pilot symbols to estimate the channel. An initial channel state information （CSI） obtained by least-squared （LS） estimation is needed in semi-blind estimation. BFGS （Brayben, Fletcher, Goldfarb and Shanno） algorithm, which employs data as well as pilot symbols, estimates the CSI though solving the problem provided by maximum-likelihood （ML） principle. In addition, mean-square-error （MSE） used to evaluate the estimation performance can be further minimized with an optimal pilot design. Simulation results show that the semi-blind estimation achieves a significant improvement in terms of MSE performance over the conventional LS estimation by utilizing data symbols instead of increasing the number of pilot symbols, which demonstrates the estimation accuracy and spectral efficiency are both improved by semiblind estimation for C-RANs.展开更多

Firstly, the two-dimensional（2D） point cloud that is output by the integrated laser sensor is transformed into a binary image. Secondly, the potential target object contours are segmented and extracted based on the connected domain labeling and adaptive corner detection. Then, the target object contour is recognized by improved Hu invariant moments and BP neural network classifier. Finally, we extract the point data of the target object contour through the reverse transformation from a binary image to a 2D point cloud. The experimental results show that the average recognition rate is 98.5% and the average recognition time is 0.18 s per frame. This algorithm realizes the real-time tracking of the target object in the complex background and the condition of multi-moving objects.展开更多

Thus, to guarantee the cloud network performance and prevent execrable effects caused by failures, cloud network diagnostics has become of great interest for cloud service providers. Due to the characteristics of cloud network(e.g., virtualization and multi-tenancy), transplanting traditional network diagnostic tools to the cloud network face several difficulties. Additionally, many existing tools cannot solve problems in the cloud network. In this paper, we summarize and classify the state-of-the-art technologies of cloud diagnostics which can be used in the production cloud network according to their features. Moreover, we analyze the differences between cloud network diagnostics and traditional network diagnostics based on the characteristics of the cloud network. Considering the operation requirements of the cloud network, we propose the points that should be cared about when designing a cloud network diagnostic tool. Also, we discuss the challenges that cloud network diagnostics will face in future development.展开更多

Simulation results show that the semi-blind estimation achieves a significant improvement in terms of MSE performance over the conventional LS estimation by utilizing data symbols instead of increasing the number of pilot symbols, which demonstrates the estimation accuracy and spectral efficiency are both improved by semiblind estimation for C-RANs.

文摘Data security is a major cloud computing issue due to different usertransactions in the system. The evolution of cryptography and cryptographic analysis are regarded domains of current research. deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) cryptography makes use of DNA as a sensing platform, which is then manipulated usinga variety of molecular methods. Many security mechanisms including knowledgebased authentication, two-factor authentication, adaptive authentication, multifactorauthentication and single password authentication have been deployed. These cryptographic techniques have been developed to ensure confidentiality, but most ofthem are based on complex mathematical calculations and equations. In the proposed approach, a novel and unique Hybrid helix scuttle-deoxy ribo nucleic acids(HHS-DNA) encryption algorithm has been proposed which is inspired by DNAcryptography and Helix scuttle. The proposed HHS-DNA is a type of multifold binary version of DNA (MF-BDNA). The major role of this paper is to present a multifold HHS-DNA algorithm to encrypt the cloud data assuring more security with lesscomplexity. The experimentation is carried out and it reduces the encryption time,cipher text size, and improves throughput. When compared with previous techniques, there is a 45% improvement in throughput, 37% fast in encryption time,54.67% cipher text size. The relevant experimental results and foregoing analysisshow that this method is of good robustness, stability, and security.
文摘For a vision measurement system consisted of laser-CCD scanning sensors, an algorithm is proposed to extract and recognize the target object contour. Firstly, the two-dimensional（2D） point cloud that is output by the integrated laser sensor is transformed into a binary image. Secondly, the potential target object contours are segmented and extracted based on the connected domain labeling and adaptive corner detection. Then, the target object contour is recognized by improved Hu invariant moments and BP neural network classifier. Finally, we extract the point data of the target object contour through the reverse transformation from a binary image to a 2D point cloud. The experimental results show that the average recognition rate is 98.5% and the average recognition time is 0.18 s per frame. This algorithm realizes the real-time tracking of the target object in the complex background and the condition of multi-moving objects.

文摘Recently, cloud computing has become a vital part that supports people’s normal lives and production.However, accompanied by the increasing complexity of the cloud network, failures constantly keep coming up and cause huge economic losses. Thus, to guarantee the cloud network performance and prevent execrable effects caused by failures, cloud network diagnostics has become of great interest for cloud service providers. Due to the characteristics of cloud network(e.g., virtualization and multi-tenancy), transplanting traditional network diagnostic tools to the cloud network face several difficulties. Additionally, many existing tools cannot solve problems in the cloud network. In this paper, we summarize and classify the state-of-the-art technologies of cloud diagnostics which can be used in the production cloud network according to their features. Moreover, we analyze the differences between cloud network diagnostics and traditional network diagnostics based on the characteristics of the cloud network. Considering the operation requirements of the cloud network, we propose the points that should be cared about when designing a cloud network diagnostic tool. Also, we discuss the challenges that cloud network diagnostics will face in future development.
