Scalability Optimization of Virtualization Based Botnet Emulation Platform by Li Ruan, Bo Lin, Limin Xiao

“…Botnet emulation,a new technology to investigate Botnet characteristics,gains increasing focus.The practical virtualization based Botnet emulation platform is few and lacks support of rapid deployment,multiple virtualization,specific features of the Botnet like Botnets' circadian random shutdown and starting,and high scalability which will greatly influence the Botnet propagation emulation effect.A Botnet emulation system and its scalability improvement technologies were introduced.Experiments show that the memory performance optimization and CPU performance optimization reduce more than 77% of host memory per virtual machine,the maximum virtual machines one physical machine can starts up increase from 15 to 43; the host CPU utility is deduced from 100% to 20% when the vCPU's performance is restricted to 100 000.…”

Optimal deployment of energy-efficient ultra-dense network by Liang GE, Zhixu WANG

“…In order to maximize energy efficiency, the stochastic geometry method was used to model the uplink of a multi-cell multi-user MIMO cellular network.Then the system power consumption model was ameliorated.Based on this,an energy efficiency maximization problem with respect to base station density,transmit power,the number of base station antennas,users per cell and pilot reuse factor was obtained.Solving the problem,the optimal network deployment,as well as the relationship between the optimal variables,hardware characteristics and propagation environment was obtained.Finally, simulation and numerical results show that the ultra-dense network deployment can significantly improve the energy efficiency.However,with the further increase of the density of the base station,the improvement of the energy efficiency was quickly saturated.More interestingly,the deployment scenario determined by the energy efficiency optimization was just massive MIMO scenarios.…”

An overview of low resolution quantization in wireless communication system by Dan QIAO, Chaokai WEN, Feifei GAO, Shi JIN

“…Compared to the 4th generation (4G) mobile communication technology,the 5th generation (5G) mobile communication technology will provide tens of times of peak rate increase,reaching up to several thousands megabit per second.The coming wireless communication systems face the problems of expensive hardware cost and high power consumption,which is becoming a bottleneck of high-rate communication systems.To cope with these problems,redesigning communication systems with the receiver using finite precision analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is one possible approach.The analysis of recent information theory for the AWGN channel shows that the performance loss due to 2~3 bit ADC acceptable.The application of low resolution quantization in wireless communication systems was focused on,an overview of the channel capacity and receiver design under low-precision ADC was provided.…”
