An optimal energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm in ultra-dense network by Yueyue ZHANG, Weiwei XIA, Yaping ZHU, Feng YAN, Xuzhou ZUO, Lianfeng SHEN

“…The energy-efficient resource allocation problem was taken in an ultra-dense network(UDN) consisted of multiple femtocells.Aiming at maximizing the energy efficiency (EE) of the whole network,quality of service (QoS) constraint and interference limitation was considered.Then,the established nonconvex and nonlinear problem was relaxed relying on Cauchy inequality,and was developed into a non-cooperative game.Additionally,a distributed EE maximization algorithm was proposed satisfying the max-min fairness (MMF) criterion.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperformances the existing algorithms in terms of the EE and the throughput.…”

A Modified Scaled Spectral-Conjugate Gradient-Based Algorithm for Solving Monotone Operator Equations by Auwal Bala Abubakar, Kanikar Muangchoo, Abdulkarim Hassan Ibrahim, Sunday Emmanuel Fadugba, Kazeem Olalekan Aremu, Lateef Olakunle Jolaoso

“…The algorithm is a modification of the work of Li and Zheng in the sense that the uniformly monotone assumption on the operator is relaxed to just monotone. Furthermore, unlike the work of Li and Zheng, the search directions of the proposed algorithm are shown to be descent and bounded independent of the monotonicity assumption. …”

Optimum iterative water-filling algorithm for cognitive MIMO MAC by Fei WEI, Zhen YANG

“…The sum-rate maximization problem of the cognitive multiple-input multiple-output multiple access channel (MIMO MAC) under transmit power and interference temperature constraints was addressed.By exploiting the partial dual decomposition technique to relax the interference temperature constraint,the original problem was decomposed into more tractable subproblems.An iterative algorithm,in which the dual variable update and the iterative water-filling computation were performed alternately,was proposed to obtain the optimum transmit covariance matrices that achieved the maximum sum-rate.Finally,simulation results have been presented to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.…”

Resplittable threshold multi-broker proxy re-encryption scheme from lattices by Ju-yan LI, Chun-guang MA, Qian ZHAO

“…Two different encryption schemes and Lagrange polynomial were used to construct a resplittable threshold multi-broker proxy re-encryption scheme on the lattice,namely the encryption in the ciphertext input and output side was different from the encryption in the re-encryption side which make the bound of noise was more relaxed.Threshold multi proxy not only ensure the safety of re-encryption key,but also ensure re-encryption scheme can still work even if the individual proxy could not provide normal services.The scheme is proven IND-UniRTPRE-CPA secure.…”

Channel width adaptation algorithm in multi-channel vehicular networks by PENG Xin, LI Ren-fa, LIU Liang-jiao

“…Aiming at the low utilization of spectrum resource in vehicular networks,an algorithm base on semidefinite programming was presented,which could be utilized to channel width adaptation of multi-channel vehicular networks.Firstly,the algorithm need to measure the distance with the surrounding vehicles to compute conflict graph.And then the semidefinite programming relaxation was employed to coordinate the competition of spectrum resource.Finally,the ultimate channel width adaptation was computed based on the initial channel assignment and compression process.Simulation results demonstrated that the new algorithm not only can promote network throughput,but also perform well on extremely dynamic topology.…”

Cozy interiority by Jeppe Trolle Linnet

“…The atmosphere of coziness, or “hygge” as it is referred to in Denmark, gives certain places such as cafés a particular appeal, that of providing an experience of pleasant relaxation in the here and now. This article argues that coziness can be seen as a pleasant experience of interiority, and that there are new and valuable understandings of such urban atmospheres to be gained by considering the role of co-presence with other people: How subjects relate both to fellow consumers on site, and the surrounding urban crowd. …”
