Engineering searchable encryption of mobile cloud networks: when QoE meets QoP

Abstract: Mobile cloud computing can effectively address the resource limitations of mobile devices, and is therefore essential to enable extensive resource consuming mobile computing and communication applications. Of all the mobile cloud computing applications, data outsourcing, such as iCloud, is fundamental, which outsources a mobile user’s data to external cloud servers and accordingly provides a scalable and “always on” approach for public data access. With the security and privacy issues related to outsourced data becoming a rising concern, encryption on outsourced data is often necessary. Although encryption increases the quality of protection (QoP) of data outsourcing, it significantly reduces data usability and thus harms the mobile user’s quality of experience (QoE). How to strike a balance between QoP and QoE is therefore an important yet challenging task. In this article we focus on the fundamental problem of QoP and QoE provisioning in searchable encryption of data outsourcing. We develop a fine-grained data search scheme and discuss its implementation on encrypted mobile cloud data, which is an effective balance between QoE and QoP in mobile cloud data outsourcing.

Advances in MoS2-Based Field Effect Transistors (FETs).

Abstract: This paper reviews the original achievements and advances regarding the field effect transistor (FET) fabricated from one of the most studied transition metal dichalcogenides: two-dimensional MoS2. Not like graphene, which is highlighted by a gapless Dirac cone band structure, Monolayer MoS2 is featured with a 1.9 eV gapped direct energy band thus facilitates convenient electronic and/or optoelectronic modulation of its physical properties in FET structure. Indeed, many MoS2 devices based on FET architecture such as phototransistors, memory devices, and sensors have been studied and extraordinary properties such as excellent mobility, ON/OFF ratio, and sensitivity of these devices have been exhibited. However, further developments in FET device applications depend a lot on if novel physics would be involved in them. In this review, an overview on advances and developments in the MoS2-based FETs are presented. Engineering of MoS2-based FETs will be discussed in details for understanding contact physics, formation of gate dielectric, and doping strategies. Also reported are demonstrations of device behaviors such as low-frequency noise and photoresponse in MoS2-based FETs, which is crucial for developing electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Simplified Approach to Optimized Iterative Clipping and Filtering for PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signals

Abstract: Iterative clipping and filtering (ICF) is a well-known technique to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. Recently, Wang and Luo investigated the clipped signal and proposed a modified algorithm called optimized ICF (OICF). This is an optimal algorithm since it can achieve the required PAPR reduction with minimum in-band distortion and far fewer iterations. However, OICF needs to solve a convex optimization problem with O(N3) complexity, where N represents the number of subcarriers. In this paper, instead of analyzing the clipped signal, we study the clipping noise and propose a simplified OICF algorithm. In the new algorithm, solving the convex optimization problem is approximated by some simple algebraic operations and the computational complexity reduces to O(N). Simulation results show that after three iterations, the original OICF algorithm can achieve the desired PAPR while the simplified one exhibits almost the same performance: for a 128-subcarrier and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulated OFDM system, the PAPR-reduction performance difference between the two algorithms are 5×10-3dB at a 10-4 clipping probability and the bit-error-rate performance difference is 6×10-3 dB at a 10-7 error probability.
