Preference-Aware User Access Control Policy in Internet of Things.

There are multiple types of services in the Internet of Things, and existing access control methods do not consider situations wherein the same types of services have multiple access options. In order to ensure the QoS quality of user access and realize the reasonable utilization of Internet of Things network resources, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of different services to design applicable access control strategies. In this paper, a preference-aware user access control strategy in slices is proposed, which can increase the number of users in the system while balancing slice resource utilization.

Survivability-Enhanced Virtual Network Embedding Strategy in Virtualized Wireless Sensor Networks.

With the widespread application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), WSN virtualization technology has received extensive attention. A key challenge in WSN virtualization is the survivable virtual network embedding (SVNE) problem which efficiently maps a virtual network on a WSN accounting for possible substrate failures. Aiming at the lack of survivability research towards physical sensor node failure in the virtualized sensor network, the SVNE problem is mathematically modeled as a mixed integer programming problem considering resource constraints.

Edge and Cloud Collaborative Entity Recommendation Method towards the IoT Search.

There are massive entities with strong denaturation of state in the physical world, and users have urgent needs for real-time and intelligent acquisition of entity information, thus recommendation technologies that can actively provide instant and precise entity state information come into being. Existing IoT data recommendation methods ignore the characteristics of IoT data and user search behavior; thus the recommendation performances are relatively limited. Considering the time-varying characteristics of the IoT entity state and the characteristics of user search behavior, an edge-cloud collaborative entity recommendation method is proposed via combining the advantages of edge computing and cloud computing.

Channel Characteristic Aware Privacy Protection Mechanism in WBAN.

Advances of information and communication technologies in medical areas have led to the emergence of wireless body area network (WBAN). The high accessibility of media in WBAN can easily lead to the malicious tapping or tampering attacks, which may steal privacy data or inject wrong data. However, existing privacy protection mechanisms in WBAN depend on the third-party key management system and have a complex key exchange process.
