Research on nanosecond time synchronization technology for 5G base station based on GNSS neighborhood similarity by Wenxue LIU, Shijun CHEN, Jian GE, Hong YUAN, Cuiling GONG

“…For precision positioning requirements in the LTE-A/5G service developed by the 3GPP,the nanosecond precision time synchronization technology based on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for 5G base station was studied which broke through the current GNSS receiver’s hundred nanosecond timing accuracy.By analyzing the characteristics of neighborhood similarity of GNSS errors and combining the characteristics of time synchronization requirements of 5G base stations,a nanosecond precision time synchronization theory and related receiver algorithms for 5G base stations was proposed which based on the principle of neighborhood similarity of GNSS signals.The specific characteristics of the time synchronization technology under regional and wide-area conditions were studied.The simulation and experimental results show that compared with the current time synchronization accuracy within hundred nanosecond rang of base stations,the proposed method can achieve precision time synchronization within 3 ns between the regional base stations,and support 5G base station meter-level precision location based service(LBS) and other advanced incremental services.…”

Rational-security and fair two-party comparison protocol by Bowen ZHAO, Yao ZHU, Yang XIAO, Qingqi PEI, Xiaoguo LI, Ximeng LIU

“…., Bob) of the comparison result.Obviously, if Alice refused or failed to send the comparison result to Bob, Bob learned nothing about the comparison result, which broke the fairness of the two-party comparison protocol.Based on this, a rational-security and fair two-party comparison protocol TEAM was proposed by seamlessly combining the threshold Paillier cryptosystem and game theory.Specifically, a novel secure two-party comparison protocol based on the threshold Paillier cryptosystem was designed and then searched for equilibrium points at which two parties could obtain comparison results.Strict theoretical analysis demonstrate that TEAM guarantees rational two-party to always obtain the comparison result without sacrificing any of their inputs.In other words, TEAM was correct, secure, and fair.In addition, the experimental results show that TEAM improves up to 50 times in terms of efficiency compared with previous methods under the same experimental settings.…”
