Proposals that are not decided in some instance of Consensus (commands not delivered) must be re-proposed in a new instance, delaying their execution. The CFABCast (Collision- Fast Atomic Broadcast) algorithm uses M-Consensus to decide and deliver multiple values in the same instance. However, CFABCast is not Byzantine fault-tolerant, a requirement for many systems. Our first contribution is a modified version of CFABCast to handle Byzantine failures. Unfortunately, the resulting protocol is not collision-fast due to the possibility of malicious failures. In fact, our second contribution is to prove that there are no Byzantine collision-fast algorithms in an asynchronous model as traditionally extended to solve Consensus. Finally, our third contribution is a Byzantine collision-fast algorithm that bypasses the stated impossibility by means of a USIG (Unique Sequential Identifier Generator) trusted component.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116292677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, satellite network users are unevenly distributed and satellite nodes move rapidly, causing local congestion in satellite networks. Many domestic and foreign researchers proposed many solutions for single-layer satellite network routing in view of the above, but they still need to be supplemented and improved in handling multi-layer satellite network routing. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the dynamics of satellite movement, consider the optimization of satellite topology, reduce the unnecessary topology snapshot switching to improve the efficiency of satellite system. In addition, many satellite network routing algorithms perform routing table computation through dynamic information collection, lacking corresponding load balancing mechanisms. In this paper, a new scheme for load-balanced cooperative data transmission scheme in LEO/MEO satellite is proposed, in which the two-layer satellite topology is optimized and the corresponding congestion control mechanism is provided to provide QoS satellite service.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"1652 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132353046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Serious problems of hidden/exposed terminal in high-density condition negatively impact system throughput. To improve the system efficiency, IEEE 802.11ax TG has been assembled. TG aims at realizing High-Efficiency- WLAN (HEW) by utilizing special reuse technologies including Dynamic Sensitivity Control (DSC), Transmit Power Control (TPC), and BSS Color Filtering (BCF). In this paper, we propose a DSC based on two-hop farthest terminal for dense WLAN. This scheme with minimum transmission power resolves the hidden terminal problem. Propagation loss of received signal from associated communication pair is used for the proper values of transmission power and carrier sense level. Furthermore, adjusting these parameters destination by destination can reduce exposed terminals effectively. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in residential building scenario with three criteria, aggregate throughput, fairness and frame error rate. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve aggregate downlink throughput and fairness compared to previously proposed method that carrier sense level is set based on expected RSSI level of received packet from communicating pair. Furthermore, improvement of frame loss rate implies that the hidden terminal problem can be solved by the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":239730,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130959746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also introduce a mathematical coverage model that helps us minimize the number of coverage holes. Secondly, we present a novel approach to recover the corrupted data received over noisy wireless channels.

The proposed monitoring proxy tool is able to log user activities, using Petri Net language, while interacting with the human-machine system.
