TLDR
A new cloud-based WMSN is proposed to efficiently deal with multimedia sharing and distribution and motivates the use of cloud computing and social contexts in sharing live streaming and formulate the bandwidth allocation problem in a gametheoretical framework that is further implemented in a distributed manner.Abstract:
With the rapid penetration of mobile devices, more users prefer to watch multime- dia live-streaming via their mobile terminals. Quality of service provision is normal- ly a critical challenge in such multimedia sharing environments. In this article, we propose a new cloud-based WMSN to efficiently deal with multimedia sharing and distribution. We first motivate the use of cloud computing and social contexts in sharing live streaming. Then our WMSN architecture is presented with the descrip- tion of the different components of the network. After that, we focus on distributed resource management and formulate the bandwidth allocation problem in a game- theoretical framework that is further implemented in a distributed manner. In addi- tion, we note the potential selfish behavior of mobile users for resource competition and propose a cheat-proof mechanism to motivate mobile users to share band- width. Illustrative results demonstrate the best responses of different users in the game equilibrium as well as the effectiveness of the proposed cheating avoidance scheme.read more

Privacy Leakage of Location Sharing in Mobile Social Networks: Attacks and Defense
TL;DR: This work takes an initial step towards quantifying location privacy leakage from MSNs by matching the users’ shared locations with their real mobility traces, and proposes SmartMask, a context-based system-level privacy protection solution, designed to automatically learn Users’ privacy preferences under different contexts and provide a transparent privacy control for MSN users.
