Unsupervised Clustering for 5G Network Planning Assisted by Real Data by M. Umar Khan, Mostafa Azizi, A. Garcia-Armada, J. J. Escudero-Garzas

“…Identifying the region of highest traffic density in megabyte (MB) per <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text {km}^{2}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> has an important implication in minimizing the cost per bit for the mobile network operators (MNOs). In this study, we propose a base station (BS) clustering framework based on unsupervised learning to identify the target area known as the highest traffic cluster (HTC) for 5G deployments. …”

New Constructions of Identity-Based Dual Receiver Encryption from Lattices by Yuan Liu, Licheng Wang, Xiaoying Shen, Lixiang Li

“…At ACISP 2018, Zhang et al. gave the first lattice-based construction of IB-DRE, and the main part of the public parameter in this scheme consists of <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mrow> <mn>2</mn> <mi>n</mi> <mo>+</mo> <mn>2</mn> </mrow> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> matrices where <i>n</i> is the bit-length of arbitrary identity. In this paper, by introducing an injective map and a homomorphic computation technique due to Yamada at EUROCRYPT 2016, we propose another lattice-based construction of IB-DRE in an even efficient manner: The main part of the public parameters consists only of <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mrow> <mn>2</mn> <mi>p</mi> <msup> <mi>n</mi> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mi>p</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <mn>2</mn> </mrow> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> matrices of the same dimensions, where <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mrow> <mi>p</mi> <mo>(</mo> <mo>≥</mo> <mn>2</mn> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> is a flexible constant. …”

Doppler Delay-Time Frequency Cross-Domain Joint High Security Transmission Scheme Based on Orthogonal Time Frequency Space by Zhiruo Guo, Bo Liu, Jianxin Ren, Qing Zhong, Yaya Mao, Xiangyu Wu, Shuaidong Chen, Yongfeng Wu, Feng Wang, Yunyun Chen

“…It is shown that OTFS system with cyclic prefix (CP) of 1&#x002F;16 obtains 2.1 dB gain than the OTFS system with CP of 1&#x002F;32 in terms of receiver sensitivity when the bit error rate (BER) is 10^-3. Due to its comprehensive advantages in error rate and security performance, this chaotic encryption based on OTFS has a high application prospect in low-cost and reliable optical access system.…”

Design of a CMOS memristor emulator-based, self-adaptive spiking analog-to-digital data conversion as the lowest level of a self-x hierarchy by H. Abd, H. Abd, A. König

“…The nominal values of the SN-ADC parameters' number of missing codes (NOMCs), integral non-linearity (INL), and differential non-linearity (DNL) are no missing code, 0.4 and 0.22 LSB, respectively, where LSB stands for the least significant bit. However, these values are degraded due to the dynamic and static deviation with maximum simulated change equal to 0.88 and 4 LSB and 6 codes for DNL, INL, and NOMC, respectively. …”
