    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 1-15, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.09545
    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled various intelligent services, and IoT service range has been steadily extended through long range wide area communication technologies, which enable very long distance wireless data transmission. End-nodes are connected to a gateway with a single hop. They consume very low-power, using very low data rate to deliver data. Since long transmission time is consequently needed for each data packet transmission in long range wide area networks, data transmission should be efficiently performed. Therefore, this paper proposes a multicast uplink data transmission mechanism particularly for bad network conditions. Transmission delay will be increased if… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 17-30, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.09282
    Abstract Huffman [Huffman (1952)] encoding is one of the most known compression algorithms. In its basic use, only one encoding is given for the same letter in text to compress. In this paper, a text compression algorithm that is based on Huffman encoding is proposed. Huffman encoding is used to give different encodings for the same letter depending on the prefix preceding it in the word. A deterministic finite automaton (DFA) that recognizes the words of the text is constructed. This DFA records the frequencies for letters that label the transitions. Every state will correspond to one of the prefixes of… More >

    Pipeline Scheduling Based on Constructive Interference in Strip Wireless Sensor Networks

    Xiangmao Chang1, 2, *, Xiaoxiang Xu1, Deliang Yang3
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 193-206, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08183
    Abstract Strip Wireless Sensor Networks (SWSNs) have drawn much attention in many applications such as monitoring rivers, highways and coal mines. Packet delivery in SWSN usually requires a large number of multi-hop transmissions which leads to long transmission latency in low-duty-cycle SWSNs. Several pipeline scheduling schemes have been proposed to reduce latency. However, when communication links are unreliable, pipeline scheduling is prone to failure. In this paper, we propose a pipeline scheduling transmission protocol based on constructive interference. The protocol first divides the whole network into multiple partitions and uses a pipelined mechanism to allocate active time slots for each partition.… More >

    Abstract Microphone array-based sound source localization (SSL) is a challenging task in adverse acoustic scenarios. To address this, a novel SSL algorithm based on deep neural network (DNN) using steered response power-phase transform (SRP-PHAT) spatial spectrum as input feature is presented in this paper. Since the SRP-PHAT spatial power spectrum contains spatial location information, it is adopted as the input feature for sound source localization. DNN is exploited to extract the efficient location information from SRP-PHAT spatial power spectrum due to its advantage on extracting high-level features. SRP-PHAT at each steering position within a frame is arranged into a vector, which… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 325-344, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.09784
    Abstract To measure the security for hot searched reversible data hiding (RDH) technique, especially for the common-used histogram-shifting based RDH (denoted as HS-RDH), several steganalysis schemes are designed to detect whether some secret data has been hidden in a normal-looking image. However, conventional steganalysis schemes focused on the previous RDH algorithms, i.e., some early spatial/pixel domain-based histogram-shifting (HS) schemes, which might cause great changes in statistical characteristics and thus be easy to be detected. For recent improved methods, such as some adaptive prediction error (PE) based embedding schemes, those conventional schemes might be invalid, since those adaptive embedding mechanism would effectively… More >

    Abstract Stochastic resonance can use noise to enhance weak signals, effectively reducing the effect of noise signals on feature extraction. In order to improve the early fault recognition rate of rolling bearings, and to overcome the shortcomings of lack of interaction in the selection of SR (Stochastic Resonance) method parameters and the lack of validation of the extracted features, an adaptive genetic random resonance early fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings was proposed. compared with the existing methods, the AGSR (Adaptive Genetic Stochastic Resonance) method uses genetic algorithms to optimize the system parameters, and further optimizes the parameters while considering the… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 589-605, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.09964
    Abstract Arranging multiple identical sub-arrays in a special way can enhance degrees of freedom (DOFs) and obtain a hole-free difference co-array (DCA). In this paper, by adjusting the interval of adjacent sub-arrays, a kind of generalized array architecture with larger aperture is proposed. Although some holes may exist in the DCA of the proposed array, they are distributed uniformly. Utilizing the partial continuity of the DCA, an extended covariance matrix can be constructed. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to obtain an extended signal sub-space, by which the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for quasi-stationary signals is given. In order to eliminating… More >

    A Fast Two-Stage Black-Box Deep Learning Network Attacking Method Based on Cross-Correlation

    Deyin Li1, 2, Mingzhi Cheng3, Yu Yang1, 2, *, Min Lei1, 2, Linfeng Shen4
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 623-635, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.09800
    Abstract Deep learning networks are widely used in various systems that require classification. However, deep learning networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. The study on adversarial attacks plays an important role in defense. Black-box attacks require less knowledge about target models than white-box attacks do, which means black-box attacks are easier to launch and more valuable. However, the state-of-arts black-box attacks still suffer in low success rates and large visual distances between generative adversarial images and original images. This paper proposes a kind of fast black-box attack based on the cross-correlation (FBACC) method. The attack is carried out in two stages.… More >

    Abstract The translation quality of neural machine translation (NMT) systems depends largely on the quality of large-scale bilingual parallel corpora available. Research shows that under the condition of limited resources, the performance of NMT is greatly reduced, and a large amount of high-quality bilingual parallel data is needed to train a competitive translation model. However, not all languages have large-scale and high-quality bilingual corpus resources available. In these cases, improving the quality of the corpora has become the main focus to increase the accuracy of the NMT results. This paper proposes a new method to improve the quality of data by… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 665-679, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.09912
    Abstract Loop free alternate (LFA) is a routing protection scheme that is currently deployed in commercial routers. However, LFA cannot handle all single network component failure scenarios in traditional networks. As Internet service providers have begun to deploy software defined network (SDN) technology, the Internet will be in a hybrid SDN network where traditional and SDN devices coexist for a long time. Therefore, this study aims to deploy the LFA scheme in hybrid SDN network architecture to handle all possible single network component failure scenarios. First, the deployment of LFA scheme in a hybrid SDN network is described as a 0-1… More >
