This paper investigates the problem of the relay selection and resource allocation in a downlink OFDMA cognitive relay network. The objective of this optimization problem is to maximize both system throughput and system fairness, which is achieved through our proposed non-transferable utility coalition graph game algorithm (NTU-CGGA). In this algorithm, the SUs with more available channels can help SUs with less available channels to improve their utility in terms of the throughput and fairness by forming a directed tree graph. The coalition graph is formatted according to spectrum availability and traffic demands of SUs by using merge-split rule. So it can effectively exploit both space and frequency diversity of the system. Simulation results show that, NTU-CGGA significantly improves system throughput while not reducing the fairness level, which has a better performance comparing with other existing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

As a compensation, the latter should pay a certain price for the obtained bandwidth. To determine this price under the constraint that the primary network only knows an incomplete information for the utility of the secondary network, the present paper consider the repeated offering of a price from the primary network to the secondary network, which then can accept or reject it, until they reach a price agreement. Since this bargaining process helps the primary network estimate the real utility of the secondary network as accurate as possible, the agreed price is mutually beneficial for both networks. Moreover, to increase the satisfaction of all secondary terminals in transmitting heterogeneous applications, i.e., voice, video, image, and data, we also propose a spectrum allocation solution within the secondary network based on Nash bargaining model. Numerical simulation shows that the benefits of the two networks from spectrum sharing varies with their maximal bargaining times and the proposed spectrum allocation scheme can improve the total satisfaction of all secondary terminals while maintain a reasonable fairness among them.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

Cloud computing services promise elastic computing and storage resources in a pay-as-you-go way. A SLA between a cloud service provider (CSP) and a user is a contract which specifies the resources and performances that the cloud should offer. However, the CSP has the incentive to cheat on SLA, e.g., providing users with less CPU and memory resources than that specified in the SLA, which allows the CSP to support more users and make more profits. A malicious CSP can disrupt the existing SLA monitoring/verification techniques by interfering the monitoring/measurement process. Therefore, we present a SLA verification framework that leverages a third party auditor (TPA). Under the TPA framework, we propose an effective testing algorithm that can detect SLA violations of physical memory size in virtual machine (VM). Using real experiments, we show that the algorithm can detect cloud cheating on VM memory size (i.e., SLA violations). Furthermore, our algorithm can defend various attacks from a malicious CSP, which tries to hide a SLA violation.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"... IEEE Global Communications Conference.

Meanwhile, it has been shown that it is possible to improve the performance of MEMO systems by employing antenna selection technology. Existing antenna selection algorithms in MEMO two-way AF relay assume perfect channel state information(CSI). However, as a matter of fact, it is difficult to obtain perfect CSI. In this paper, considering the antenna correlation and channel estimation error, we derive the lower bound on sum rate utilizing worst case uncorrelated additive noise theorem in MIMO two-way AF relaying system, and analyze the effect of antenna correlation and channel estimation error on the sum rate. Then, an optimal relay antenna selection algorithm based on discrete stochastic optimization is proposed to maximize the sum rate under the assumption of imperfect CSI. We also prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm through theoretical analysis. Through extensive numerical simulation, we observe that the proposed relay antenna selection algorithm converges to the best antenna set obtained by exhaustive search when only imperfect CSI is available.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

Each terminal takes one of the first two stages to encode its message using a Raptor Code and then broadcasts the result into the air, respectively. In the third stage, upon successfully decoding the corresponding messages, the relay node re-encodes them with the new Raptor Codes, and then XORs the outputs and broadcasts the result to both terminals. Together with the packets received directly in previous stages, each terminal then retrieves the desired message using an iterative decoder. Here, the degree profiles of the Raptor Codes used at each node are jointly optimized through solving a set of linear programming problems. Simulations show that, the system throughput achieved by the optimized degree profiles always outperforms the one with conventional degree profile optimized for binary erasure channel (BEC) and the conventional network coding scheme with rateless coding.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

To address the “big data” problem introduced by these M2M applications, we argue in this paper that instead of focusing on serving individual machines with better quality, one should focus on solutions that can better serve the data itself. To substantiate this concept, we consider the scenario of data gathering in a wide area by machines that are connected to a central aggregator through direct wireless links. The aggregator has limited radio resources to allocate to machines for uplink transmission of collected data, and hence the problem arises as to how the resources can be effectively utilized for supporting such an M2M application. In contrast to conventional approaches on maximizing the number of machines that can access the radio resources, we investigate an approach that takes into consideration “useful” information content that individual machines can provide for prioritization of resource allocation. Numerical results based on the proposed algorithms show that although the number of machines that can be supported is not maximized, the data so collected at the aggregator does exhibit significant quality gain for the target M2M scenario, thus motivating further investigation along this direction.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...

In general, the design of hash functions should satisfy three standards: pre-image resistance, second pre-image resistance and collision resistance. The design of hash functions in the literature assumes that the messages to be transmitted are equally probable. In this paper, we focus on the pre-image resistance and investigate the problem of mapping design for hash function utilizing the unequal occurrence probabilities of the messages. We first present a necessary condition for the optimal mapping and then introduce a heuristic algorithm. Simulation experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed new design. It is shown that the probability of successful attack can be significantly reduced compared with the conventional design. Our algorithm can be useful in scenarios where the attacker has limited ability or time to estimate the probability distribution of the messages. To our best knowledge, this work is the first attempt of making use of the message distribution in designing hash functions for information security.","PeriodicalId":72021,"journal":{"name":"...
