Abstract Integrated satellite-terrestrial network (ISTN) has been considered a novel network architecture to achieve global three-dimensional coverage and ultra-wide area broadband access anytime and anywhere. Being a promising paradigm, cloud computing and mobile edge computing (MEC) have been identified as key technology enablers for ISTN to further improve quality of service and business continuity. However, most of the existing ISTN studies based on cloud computing and MEC regard satellite networks as relay networks, ignoring the feasibility of directly deploying cloud computing nodes and edge computing nodes on satellites. In addition, most computing tasks are transferred to… More >

Abstract Recently, there has been a sudden shift from using traditional office applications to the collaborative cloud-based office suite such as Microsoft Office 365. Such cloud-based systems allow users to work together on the same document stored in a cloud server at once, by which users can effectively collaborate with each other. However, there are security concerns unsolved in using cloud collaboration. One of the major concerns is the security of data stored in cloud servers, which comes from the fact that data that multiple users are working together cannot be stored in encrypted form because More >

Abstract With the rapid development and popularization of 5G and the Internet of Things, a number of new applications have emerged, such as driverless cars. Most of these applications are time-delay sensitive, and some deficiencies were found during data processing through the cloud centric architecture. The data generated by terminals at the edge of the network is an urgent problem to be solved at present. In 5 g environments, edge computing can better meet the needs of low delay and wide connection applications, and support the fast request of terminal users. However, edge computing only has the… More >
