Abstract As an open network architecture, Wireless Computing Power Networks (WCPN) pose new challenges for achieving efficient and secure resource management in networks, because of issues such as insecure communication channels and untrusted device terminals. Blockchain, as a shared, immutable distributed ledger, provides a secure resource management solution for WCPN. However, integrating blockchain into WCPN faces challenges like device heterogeneity, monitoring communication states, and dynamic network nature. Whereas Digital Twins (DT) can accurately maintain digital models of physical entities through real-time data updates and self-learning, enabling continuous optimization of WCPN, improving synchronization performance, ensuring real-time accuracy, More >

Abstract Time synchronization (TS) is crucial for ensuring the secure and reliable functioning of the distribution power Internet of Things (IoT). Multi-clock source time synchronization (MTS) has significant advantages of high reliability and accuracy but still faces challenges such as optimization of the multi-clock source selection and the clock source weight calculation at different timescales, and the coupling of synchronization latency jitter and pulse phase difference. In this paper, the multi-timescale MTS model is conducted, and the reinforcement learning (RL) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-based multi-timescale MTS algorithm is designed to improve the weighted summation of More >

Abstract The ubiquitous cooperative locomotion in a fluid has long been considered to gain evolutionary advantages by increasing the efficiency of the living creatures. Synchronization between undulatory swimmers, such as spermatozoa and eels at low and high Reynolds numbers respectively, has attracted much attention for its theoretical importance in fluid dynamics. Such swimmers propel themselves by generating travelling waves along their bodies or flagella. To understand the hydrodynamic interaction between the waving motions, we numerically and analytically study the infinite 2D waving-sheet model introduced by Taylor using the method of perturbation on the basis of small… More >

Abstract Considering the exponential growth of wireless devices with data-starving applications fused with artificial intelligence, the significance of wireless network scalability using distributed behavior and fairness among users is a crucial feature in guaranteeing reliable service to numerous users in the network environment. The Kuramoto model is described as nonlinear self-sustained phase oscillators spinning at varying intrinsic frequencies connected through the sine of their phase differences and displays a phase transition at a specific coupling strength, in which a mutual behavior is accomplished. In this work, we apply the Kuramoto model to achieve a weighted fair… More >

Abstract The different folding and storage forms of an inflatable boarding platform will have a direct impact on the deployment effect of the marine emergency evacuation system. This paper proposes different folding and storage methods for an inflatable boarding platform in a marine emergency evacuation system. According to the difference between the fold line and the fold direction, the numerical models of a boarding platform with partial fold, “Z” type fold and inner spiral fold are established. The platform models with three folding modes are simulated by numerical simulation. According to the numerical results of the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Fixed-time synchronization (FTS) of delayed memristor-based neural networks (MNNs) with discontinuous activations is studied in this paper. Both continuous and discontinuous activations are considered for MNNs. And the mixed delays which are closer to reality are taken into the system. Besides, two kinds of control schemes are proposed, including feedback and adaptive control strategies. Based on some lemmas, mathematical inequalities and the designed controllers, a few synchronization criteria are acquired. Moreover, the upper bound of settling time (ST) which is independent of the initial values is given. Finally, the feasibility of our theory is attested More >

Abstract Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) trusts Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) combination for the deployment of physical layer functions and for connecting the medium access control to the wireless media. Even though Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) facilitates reliable digital broadband transmission in the fading wireless channels, the presence of synchronization errors in the form of Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) and Time Offset (TO) adversely affect the performance of OFDM based physical layers. The objective of this work is to improve the accuracy of the frequency and the time offset estimation More >

Abstract This study introduces a new continuous time differential system, which contains ten terms with three quadratic nonlinearities. The new system can demonstrate hyperchaotic, chaotic, quasi-periodic, and periodic behaviors for its different parameter values. All theoretical and numerical analysis are investigated to confirm the complex hyperchaotic behavior of our proposed model using many tools that include Kaplan-Yorke dimension, equilibrium points stability, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents. By means of Multisim software, the authors also designed an electronic circuit to confirm our proposed systems’ physical feasibility. MATLAB and Multisim simulation results excellently agree with each other, which More >

Abstract Verifiable secret sharing mainly solves the cheating behavior between malicious participants and the ground control center in the satellite network. The verification stage can verify the effectiveness of secret shares issued by the ground control center to each participant and verify the effectiveness of secret shares shown by participants. We use a lot of difficult assumptions based on mathematical problems in the verification stage, such as solving the difficult problem of the discrete logarithm, large integer prime factorization, and so on. Compared with other verifiable secret sharing schemes designed for difficult problems under the same… More >
