Free mobility across group boundaries promotes intergroup cooperation by Jörg Gross, Martin Götz, Katharina Reher, Filippo Toscano

“…Conversely, higher intergroup cooperation emerged when participants were forced to interact solely with out-group members. Crucially, in the free-mobility treatment – where participants could choose whether to meet an in-group or an out-group member in the enforcement stage – intergroup cooperation was significantly higher than when participants were forced to interact only with in-group members, even though most participants endogenously chose to interact with in-group members. …”

Research on the chaotic secure communication of the phase-space symmetric Lorenz oscillator group by Linfang LIU, Guosheng RUI, Yang ZHANG, Qianlong WU

“…To meet the demand of chaotic oscillators for large scale secure communications,the Lorenz oscillator was taken as an example,a phase-space symmetric chaotic oscillator group model was proposed and the synchronization problem was studied.According to the condition of synchronization,a communication model based on symmetric chaotic oscillator was constructed and verified by simulation.The symmetrical oscillator group can provide an infinite number of symmetric chaotic oscillators,which can satisfy the application in large-scale secure communication and maintain the excellent characteristics of the original chaotic oscillator,and has a good application prospect.…”

Verifiably secure fast group authentication protocol with anonymous traceability for Internet of vehicles by Haibo ZHANG, Hongwu HUANG, Kaijian LIU, Xiaofan HE

“…Identity authentication is the first line of defense for vehicles to access IoV (Internet of vehicles).However, the existing schemes cannot meet the requirements of efficient authentication of IoV well, nor can they realize fast anonymous traceability.In view of this, a bidirectional anonymous traceability group authentication protocol was proposed in IoV.In this protocol, a number of RSU (road side unit) were grouped quickly and dynamically.And the vehicles entering the RSU group were authenticated with the one-way trap gating property and semi-group property of Chebyshev chaotic map.When the vehicle switched between the RSU within a group, the reverse hash chain was used for fast handover authentication.In addition, the RSU within a group can trace anonymously and revoke the identity of malicious vehicles quickly by using blockchain, and can also freely change the ID of users who reveal their real identity.At the same time, the semantic security of the proposed protocol is proved by using the random predictor model.Finally, simulation results show the proposed scheme has good security and effectiveness.…”

User group based multi-satellite handover strategy for LEO satellite networks by Hongtao ZHU, Qing GUO

“…LEO satellite network plays an important role in global communication in the future mobile communication.In large-scale LEO satellite networks, frequent concurrent handoffs by a large number of users will reduce the handover success rate and increase the signaling overhead.In order to solve this problem, a multi satellite handover strategy based on user group for LEO satellite networks was proposed.When triggering the handover, the user will send the candidate handover satellites that meet its own communication needs to the access satellite.The access satellite groups users considered the conditions of user handover success rate, satellite throughput rate and satellite load balancing to complete the whole handover process.A signaling interaction process of handover strategy based on user group was designed, and the signaling overhead of group handover was analyzed.The simulation results show that the multi-satellite handover strategy of LEO satellite network based on user group can effectively reduce the transmission of network repeated signaling and reduce the system signaling overhead.At the same time, it can effectively improve the user handover success rate and satellite throughput, and balance the satellite network load.…”

High-accuracy localization for indoor group users based on extended Kalman filter by Tian Wang, Yuzhu Liang, Yaxin Mei, Muhammad Arif, Chunsheng Zhu

“…However, many important issues still need to be further studied to keep pace with new requirements and technical progress, such as real-time operation, high accuracy, and energy efficiency. In order to meet the high localization accuracy requirement and the high localization dependable requirement in some scenarios, we take the users as a group to utilize the mutual distance information among them to get better localization performance. …”
