Database-driven cognitive radio has been well recognized as an efficient way to reduce interference between Primary Users (PUs) and Secondary Users (SUs). In database-driven cognitive radio, PUs and SUs must provide their locations to enable dynamic channel allocation, which raises location privacy breach concern. Previous studies only focus on unilateral privacy preservation, i.e., Only PUs' or SUs' privacy is preserved. In this paper, we propose to protect bilateral location privacy of a PU and an SU. The main challenge lies in how to coordinate the PU and SU to maximize their utility provided that their location privacy is protected. We first introduce a quantitative method to calculate both PU's and SU's location privacy, and then design a novel privacy preserving Utility Maximization protocol (UMax). UMax allows for both PU and SU to adjust their privacy preserving levels and optimize transmit power iteratively to achieve the maximum utility. Through extensive evaluations, we demonstrate that our proposed mechanism can efficiently increase the utility of both PU and SU while preserving their location privacy.

Wireless location is one of the core technologies of Wireless Sensor Network. In many applications, the accuracy of the location is the precondition of the useful of data information the node collected. Under the premise of cost limits, improving the accuracy of wireless sensor node position has crucial significance. After analyzing reasons of the location weakness of Dv-Distance algorithm due to errors caused by different paths, we propose an estimation algorithm that is based on the distance of different paths between node and the anchor node, thereby balancing the error of different paths to locate the node. This is an improved algorithm which is based on circle focal point positioning.

The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have established a collaborative research enterprise referred to as the Situational Understanding Research Institute (SURI). The goal is to develop an information processing framework to help the military obtain real-time situational awareness of physical events by harnessing the combined power of multiple sensing sources to obtain insights about events and their evolution. It is envisioned that one could use such information to predict behaviors of groups, be they local transient groups (e.g., Protests) or widespread, networked groups, and thus enable proactive prevention of nefarious activities. This paper presents a vision of how social media sources can be exploited in the above context to obtain insights about events, groups, and their evolution.

The first comparison of the performance of name-based content routing protocols based on distance vectors and link-states is presented. The protocols used for this comparison are the Named-data Link State Routing (NLSR) protocol, which is the main representative of name-based content routing based on link states, and the Distance-based Content Routing (DCR) protocol, which is the first name-based content routing protocol based on distance vectors. In the simulation of NLSR, the signaling of NLSR is simplified to minimize the overhead it incurs sending link state advertisements (LSAs), such that a single transmission is need to send an LSA, rather than multiple transmission as is the case with NLSR. The results of simulations show that the ideal version of NLSR requires fewer control messages to react to changes of name prefixes when the number of replicas is very small, and DCR incurs less signaling overhead to react to topology changes or changes in name prefixes when the number of replicas is large.

A novel dynamic radio-cooperation strategy is proposed for Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) consisting of multiple Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) connected to a central Virtual Base Station (VBS) pool. In particular, the key capabilities of C-RANs in computing-resource sharing and real-time communication among the VBSs are leveraged to design a joint dynamic radio clustering and cooperative beam forming scheme that maximizes the downlink weighted sum-rate system utility (WSRSU). Due to the combinatorial nature of the radio clustering process and the non-convexity of the cooperative beam forming design, the underlying optimization problem is NP-hard, and is extremely difficult to solve for a large network. Our approach aims for a suboptimal solution by transforming the original problem into a Mixed-Integer Second-Order Cone Program (MI-SOCP), which can be solved efficiently using a proposed iterative algorithm. Numerical simulation results show that our low-complexity algorithm provides close-to-optimal performance in terms of WSRSU while significantly outperforming conventional radio clustering and beam forming schemes. Additionally, the results also demonstrate the significant improvement in computing-resource utilization of C-RANs over traditional RANs with distributed computing resources.

Measurement samples are often taken in various monitoring applications. To reduce the sensing cost, it is desirable to achieve better sensing quality while using fewer samples. Compressive Sensing (CS) technique finds its role when the signal to be sampled meets certain sparsity requirements. In this paper we investigate the possibility and basic techniques that could further reduce the number of samples involved in conventional CS theory by exploiting learning-based non-uniform adaptive sampling. Based on a typical signal sensing application, we illustrate and evaluate the performance of two of our algorithms, Individual Chasing and Centroid Chasing, for signals of different distribution features. Our proposed learning-based adaptive sampling schemes complement existing efforts in CS fields and do not depend on any specific signal reconstruction technique. Compared to conventional sparse sampling methods, the simulation results demonstrate that our algorithms allow 46% less number of samples for accurate signal reconstruction and achieve up to 57% smaller signal reconstruction error under the same noise condition.
