Features of the Processes of Digitalization of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses in Ukraine by Reshetnyak Olena I., Bielikova Nadiia V., Yurchenko Oleksiy K., Kalashnikova Kateryna Yu.

“…The key advantages and barriers to the introduction of digital technologies in the activities of SMEs in Ukraine are identified, the main instruments for implementing the digital strategy of SMEs and the scope of their application are characterized, in particular for the construction industry. Among the main obstacles to the implementation of digitalization of SMEs are: the inability to invest in high-value digital tools and relatively high operating costs for maintenance; lack of digital competencies among managers and employees; resistance to change on the part of workers and unwillingness to change on the part of managers. …”

Research on intelligent scheme of telecommunication network by Tao LI, Chunjia WANG, Shanshan LI

“…The network of telecom operators needs to be promoted urgently in agility, efficiency and intelligence to realize its self-configuration, self-management and self-optimization.However, due to the inconsistent development route and technical characteristics between AI and communication network, how to deeply integrate AI and communication network is necessary to be considered systematically.Based on the development of the telecommunication network intelligence industry, and on the basis of the analysis of the needs of telecom operators for intelligence and the assessment of the status quo, the goal and technical scheme of telecommunication network intelligence were proposed, which covered the intelligent framework, intelligent functional modules and processes, data processing, algorithm model construction and integration.The scheme was helpful to promote the large-scale intellectualization of telecom operators and improve operational efficiency.…”

Key generation method based on reconfigurable intelligent surface in quasi-static scene by Yinuo HAO, Liang JIN, Kaizhi HUANG, Shuaifang XIAO

“…Aiming at the problems of slow channel changes and low key generation rate in IoT quasi-static scenarios, a key generation method based on reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) was proposed.First, the agility characteristics of RIS was used to construct a fast-changing channel.Then, the base station and legitimate users extracted a consistent key from the channel information through channel estimation, conversion, and information negotiation.Finally, optimal time allocation for data transmission and key generation in the coherent time to achieve the maximum transmission rate of one-time pad.The simulation results show that the key generation rate of proposed method is higher than that of the existing relay-assisted method, random signal flow method and random number method, and as the number of RIS reflection units and frequency of channel estimation in the coherence time increase, the key generation rate will be further improve.…”

DMA-based key generation method for IoT scenario by Yinuo HAO, Zhou ZHONG, Xiaoli SUN, Liang JIN

“…Aiming at the problems of slow update frequency of channel key, low generation rate and limited node resources in the IoT scenario, a DMA-based physical layer key generation method was proposed, by using the agility and reconfigurability of DMA to improve the time variability and randomness of received signal.Firstly, DMA was used by the transmitter to randomly weight the signal and send it to the receiver, which could enhance the randomness of signals on the premise of ensuring the transparent reception of the signal.Then, the key from the received signal was extracted by the sender and receiver.By combining the rapid changeability and randomness of DMA, the randomness of signal source and the randomness of natural channel, a composite channel was constructed to improve the randomness of the key source.In addition, the channel estimation was transfered overhead from the terminal to the base station, which effectively reduced the overhead and delay of the communication system, and was suitable for IoT scenarios with asymmetric resources and lightweight equipment.Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the key generation rate in quasi-static scenarios, and the generated physical layer key has passed the NIST test.…”
