Trusted QoS Assurance Approach for Composite Service

The characteristics of service computing environment, such as service loose coupling, resource heterogeneity, and protocol independence, propose higher demand for the trustworthiness of service computing systems. Trust provisioning for composite services has become a hot research spot worldwide. In this paper, quality of service (QoS) planning techniques are introduced into service composition-oriented QoS provisioning architecture. By QoS planning, the overall QoS requirement of the composite service is decomposed into separate QoS requirement for every constituent atom service, the QoS level of which can subsequently be satisfied through well-designed service entity selection policies. For any single service entity, its QoS level is variable when the deployment environment or the load of service node changes. To mitigate the uncertainty, we put forward QoS preprocessing algorithms to estimate the future QoS levels of service entities with their history execution data. Then, based on the modeling of composite service and QoS planning, we design three algorithms, which include the time preference algorithm, cost/availability (C/A) preference algorithm, and Euclidean distance preference algorithm, to select suitable atomic services meeting the user’s requirements. Finally, by combining genetic algorithm and local-search algorithm, we propose memetic algorithm to meet the QoS requirements of composite service. The effectiveness of the proposed methods by which the QoS requirements can be satisfied up to 90% is verified through experiments.

An Energy-Efficient Secure Forwarding Scheme for QoS Guarantee in Wireless Sensor Networks

Many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications require both security and quality-of-service (QoS) to be guaranteed simultaneously. However, ensuring both security and QoS is not trivial in WSNs since security normally has bad impact on QoS. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient secure forwarding method that minimizes energy consumption while meeting both security and QoS requirements at the same time. To accomplish this goal, we alternatively use hop-by-hop security for conserving energy through data aggregation and end-to-end security to satisfy the QoS requirement. We further analyze why hop-by-hop security with data aggregation provide better energy efficiency than end-to-end security without aggregation in detail. The simulation result shows that our proposed method outperforms other scheme in terms of energy efficiency while meeting both QoS and security.

Cooperative Secure Transmission in MISO-NOMA Networks

In this paper, we investigate cooperative secure transmission in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks where a source (Alice) intends to transmit confidential messages to one legitimate user with high-level security requirement (LU1), and serve another normal one (LU2) simultaneously. In order to enhance the transmission security, a cooperative jammer (Charlie) is employed to confuse multiple non-colluding eavesdroppers (Eves). Taking both secrecy outage restriction of LU1 and the desired quality of service (QoS) requirement of LU2 into consideration, we propose an adaptive power allocation strategy for maximizing secrecy rate. Numerical results are provided to validate that our proposed scheme significantly outperforms the conventional NOMA secure transmission scheme.

Wireless Body Area Networks

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are valuable solutions for healthcare lifestyle monitoring applications which allow the continuous screening of health data and constant access to patients despite their current locality or activity, with a fraction of the cost of regular face-to-face examination. In such environments, entities are equipped with intelligence-embedded devices to collect data for providing pervasive information. WBANs can serve as passing reference for huge audience instance systems for architects, practitioners, developers, medical engineers, etc. In particular for the medical field, devices fixed inside the human body measure and transfer real-time data to the caregiver through the communication network. Many technologies have showed their efficiency in secondary WBANs application such as biofeedback, remote sensing, and QoS requirement. This chapter highlights the major applications, design, and security of WBAN.
