    • Abstract ( 1147 )     HTML( 1174 )       
    • The proposal of orbital angular momentum(OAM)provides a feasible solution for the carrier required by the next-generation mobile communication technology. Its unique modular division multiplexing(MDM) method greatly increases the transmission capacity. However, with the diversification of the next-generation communication technology services, people have put forward higher requirements for bandwidth and spectrum utilization. In order to effectively improve the channel capacity and spectrum utilization of the system, an orbital angular momentum-multiple input multiple output (OAM-MIMO) multiplexing communication system combining OAM and multiple input multiple output(MIMO)technology is proposed. The OAM-MIMO system can improve channel capacity and spectrum utilization without increasing bandwidth and antenna transmit power. The system uses the Butler matrix as a phase shifter to feed the signal to a uniform circular array antenna(UCA), so that each UCA can simultaneously and independently generate a carrier wave carrying a variety of different OAM modal signal, thereby significantly improving the channel capacity of the system. The experimental results show that the channel capacity and spectrum utilization rate of the OAM-MIMO communication system are greatly improved in the macro cell and micro cell environment.

    • The wireless channel is the medium in which electromagnetic waves propagate in the air, and the channel characteristics determine the performance of the wireless communication system. To understand the terahertz channel characteristics in short-distance scenarios, based on the channel measurement in the 310 GHz frequency band, the large-scale fading characteristics and the small-scale fading characteristics of the terahertz channel are studied. The analysis of the results shows that the path loss of the terahertz channel in the short-distance scenario is consistent with the results of the free-space path loss model at 0.2 m. After 0.2 m, the measured path loss results are smaller, and the propagation conditions are better than the free space. The results of the Rice K factor and root-mean-square(RMS) delay spread shows that compared with low-frequency channels, the terahertz channel has a lower degree of delay dispersion, and the direct path occupies the main received signal energy. The Rice K factor and RMS delay spread shows a strong correlation. These results provide a theoretical model basis for the design and optimization of short-distance terahertz communications.

    • Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks can be deployed on demand and operate flexibly. However, the analytical approach for traditional terrestrial cellular networks cannot be directly applied to the UAV networks. Against this background, this paper investigates the coverage and handover performance of the UAV communication systems. With the consideration of user mobility in a 2-tier UAV communication system, the analytical expressions of the coverage probability, the transmission rate, the boundary length intensity, and the maximum velocity constraint of users are derived. The impacts of the UAV density, height, and the velocity of user on the coverage and handover performance of system are examined as well. Analytical and numerical results demonstrate that the coverage and handover performance of the UAV networks can be effectively boosted by adaptively adjusting the density and the height of the UAVs.

    • Considering the impact of the inter-user interference on the quality of service (QoS) in full-duplex-enabled small cells, an uplink-downlink user matching strategy was proposed with the goal of maximizing the number of satisfied user pairs. The strategy is applicable to some newborn QoS-sensitive services. Firstly, based on the desired rate and the achievable rate of each user, a feasible graph was established to show all the possible satisfied user pairs. Then, the feasible graph was transformed into a unit-capacity network. The max-flow number of the unit-capacity network was proved to be the maximum number of satisfied user pairs, and the optimal matching strategy can be derived from the max-flow route. Finally, simulations demonstrated that the proposed strategy trebled the number of satisfied user pairs as the max-sum-rate strategy while maintaining polynomial complexity.

    • In fog computing, attribute-based encryption technology not only solves the problem of fine-grained access control of data, but also brings the problem of user and attribute revocation. To solve this problem, an access control scheme that supports user and attribute revocation in fog computing is proposed. The proposed scheme improves the existing access control scheme based on attribute group revocation attributes, making it used in fog computing and improving the efficiency of key update. In addition, users can be revoked by fog nodes. In order to reduce the burden on the user side, part of the calculation overhead is transferred from the user side to the adjacent fog node. The security analysis based on the decisional bilinear diffie-hellman (DBDH) assumption shows that the proposed scheme can resist chosen plaintext attack. Finally, the scheme is analyzed in both theory and experiment. The analysis results show that the proposed scheme has high revocation efficiency and practical value.

    • Aiming at the fact that a single node cannot meet the delay or energy consumption requirements of various novel applications,a distributed wireless node task collaborative allocation method is proposed to reduce the total delay or total energy consumption of all node processing tasks by utilizing the idle resources of surrounding nodes. Firstly, according to the analytic hierarchy process (AHP),the priority of task execution is determined according to the multi-dimensional attributes of tasks, such as calculation load and latest completion time. Then, the optimization model of time delay and energy consumption is established, which is transformed into the problem of maximum weight matching of bipartite graph. The optimal solution of task allocation is obtained by using Kuhn Munkras(KM)algorithm, which realizes the efficient cooperation of terminal nodes at the edge of network. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively reduce the time delay and energy consumption of task processing.

    • Aiming at the problem of co-frequency interference between large-scale non-geostationary orbit(NGSO)constellation systems, we established the interference analysis model of link angle to convert communication interference constraints into geometric configuration constraints based on the comprehensive analysis of the mutual conversion relationship of the traditional interference evaluation indicators. Furthermore, the system availability index is defined by satellite selection and link combination selection. On basis of this, we carry out some researches on frequency compatibility of collaboration-based large-scale NGSO constellations, in which the working mode of NGSO constellation in cooperation mode is given. In this simulation, the actual working parameters of OneWeb and Telesat systems are selected to evaluate the system availability on a global scale. The result illustrates that the average system availability in non-cooperative mode is 72.82% since the severe interference will occur between systems in 27.18% of the time, while the average system availability in cooperative mode is 96.00%, which means cooperation mode will greatly improve the compatibility of NGSO communication constellation systems.

    • Under the double threat of malicious user jamming and eavesdropping, the mobile edge computing(MEC)system will cause problems such as blocked uplink offloading, user information leakage, and low system energy utilization. To address this problem, this letter proposed to use physical layer security technology to prevent eavesdropping, and use massive multiple input multiple output(mMIMO)technology to reduce interference and user energy consumption. In addition, under the conditions of limited delay, the user's total energy consumption is minimized by jointly optimizing the user's offloading method, transmission power, and offloading rate. For this non-convex multi-objective optimization problem, it can be decomposed into multiple sub-optimal sub-problems. Firstly, the Lagrange multiplier method is used to obtain a closed expression of the user's offloading data bits, and then the iterative algorithm is used to obtain the user's optimal transmit power and maximum offloading rate. Simulation results show that the proposed new mMIMO-MEC secure offloading scheme can effectively reduce the total energy consumption of the system while solving interference and eavesdropping security issues.

    • In the future, the sixth generation of mobile communications system (6G) network services merge reality and virtual reality, and support real-time interaction. It is urgent to quickly match the personalized service requirements of multiple tenants, therefore a two-layer hierarchical intelligent management scheme for network slicing is proposed, including the global resource manager at the upper level and the local resource managers for different tenants at the lower level. Firstly, based on the real-time status description of end-to-end slice, a service quality evaluation model is established considering the difference of multi-type slice requests from different tenants. With the service quality feedback, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm is adopted to optimize the global resource allocation and local resource adjustment. Hence, utilization efficiency of multi-dimensional resources in different domains are improved and tenants are able to customize resource usage. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can optimize the long-term revenue of resource providers while guaranteeing the service quality.

    • In order to provide a reasonable evaluation for the choice of blockchain type, proof of work (PoW) and practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) are treated as the benchmark of typical public and private chains for blockchain selection evaluation, and the overhead of blockchain in wireless networks is studied. Firstly, a fair network system and standard blockchain procedure have been provided, and then, considering the impact of block loss generated by transmission failure, the forking probability in PoW and view change probability in PBFT have been analyzed. Moreover, how network scale affects the communication and computation overhead in PoW and PBFT has been also investigated. Finally, the experimental results show that the computational overhead of PBFT is much smaller than that of PoW, the communication overhead of PBFT is greatly affected by the scale of the node, and thus the scalability of PBFT is poor. In contrast, the overhead of PoW communication is affected by the network scale linearly, and the scalability is much better compared with PBFT.
