In the pseudonyms based reputation system, there exist conflicts between anonymity and reputation. The reputation evaluation between pseudonyms sometimes appears out of control. A preserving reputation system based conditional anonymity is proposed,with which, the reputation evaluation between pseudonyms is monitored. Only the users who meet the conditional anonymity can obtain the trust value. Violators can be detected and punished.

In order to resolve low efficiency of hardware implementation of 2-dimension (2-D) discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based on the method for space time delay and integration charge coupled devices (TDICCD) compression system, a fast implementation structure (128,<em>N</em>) of 2-D lifting-based DWT is proposed. In the direction of line of CCD image, 16 modules of the fast implementation structure of 1-dimension(1-D) line lifting-based DWT are used to decompose image in parallel. Each module uses the value of four delay registers as the intermediate value to compute line wavelet coefficient, which is computed by a fusion structure of two step of prediction and updating. In the direction of line wavelet coefficient, a (32, 16) column lifting-based DWT structure based on multiplexing technology is proposed, which finally completes 2-D lifting-based DWT. The experiment results show that a module of 2-D lifting-based DWT can work fast and stably. The time needed in decomposing a frame image is only 60.198μs. Compared with traditional approaches, the time consuming is decreased by 49.90%, logical resource is decreased by 10.71%, register is decreased by 11.80%, and memory is decreased by 12.98%. Low efficiency of hardware implementation of wavelet module of CCD image compression in space camera is effectively improved.

Maximizing the users expected signal may cause interferences to other users in current interference alignment algorithms for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channels. It reduces the total channel capacities. Considering the fact that multiple interfering links consist of a game group, a new interference alignment algorithm is presented based on the exact potential game theory. The algorithm designs a mathematic model for interference alignment algorithm based on game theory, and proves that the proposed game is a bounded exact potential game by constructing a bounded potential function which converges to a <em>ε</em>-Nash equilibrium through finite interactions, and also the impact of cost factor on the performance of algorithms is discussed. Simulation shows that the new algorithm is with better performance than the existing minimum-interference (min-INL) and maximum-signal interference noise ratio (max-SINR) interference alignment algorithms and can significantly improve the multi-user networks capacity.

Adaptive trimmed mean constant false alarm rate (ATM-CFAR) detection based on TM-CFAR detection and statistics ordered data variability (ODV) is presented. These parameters and background estimations can be selected automatically. Simulation shows that the algorithm has good detection performance under homogeneous environment and multi-target environment, and also increases its tolerance of interfering targets. Moreover, under high clutter noise ratio at clutter edge regions, the control ability on false alarm rate is much better than that of cell average CFAR detection and ordered statistics CFAR detection. Using two-level architecture and sub-block parallel processing methods, its hardware implementation and computational complexity are less than the automatic censored cell-averaging based on the statistics ODV by on-chip implementation. Furthermore, it also has the advantages of high real-time processing and is very convenient for sequential control in practice.

Faced with the problem that the similarity search with high-dimensional resources couldnt be effectively achieved in traditional peer-to-peer (P2P) network, a high-dimensional resource vector model is mapped to the low dimensional space based on dimensionality reduction algorithm based on principal component analysis and then projected to distributed hash table in P2P network which is a simple and effective way to achieve distributed similarity search. Meanwhile, the curse of dimensionality owing to the high dimension of resources could be prevented in the search.

The mechanism will achieve a high precision ratio in distributed similarity search for the clustered high-dimensional resources.
The influence of limited feedback on the system throughput is analyzed and the upper bound of throughput loss is derived for the multi-base-station coordination system. The scheme of limited feedback is proposed for the system in two different conditions. The upper bound of system throughput loss is constant by increasing the feedback bits for an increasing signal-to-noise ratio when the number of feedback bits of each cell is equal. The upper bound of system throughput loss is minimized by the proposed optimal feedback allocation mechanism when the total number of feedback bits is fixed.
With maturity of "the Internet of things" and establishment of cloud computing national standards, kinds of terminals appear quickly, and huge amounts of datas generation exponentially increase, so its crucial to construct index for the data.

Two cases are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for sensor node software fault detection.
Through security analysis the receiver can realize existential forgery of the signers signature under known-plaintext attack. And a new efficient arbitrated quantum signature (AQS) scheme is introduced in which the signer sends the each Einstein-Padolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs to the signer and the receiver. The signer measures the entanglement photons, and the receiver recovers the encrypted quantum message with the received particle and the measurement. By comparing the recovery quantum message with original message, it can ensure the integrity of the signature. In signing phrase, the signer uses new encrypted method to sign the quantum message with the variable, that guarantees the receiver and the signer cannot disavow the signature. The new scheme combines a special quantum gate operation with quantum one-time pads, and it guarantees the receiver cannot use known-plaintext attack and forge the signature.
