In previous solutions,a trusted third party(TTP) was usually employed to provide disturbance or obfuscation,but it may become the single point of failure or service bottleneck. In order to cope with this drawback,we focus on another important class,establishing anonymous group through short-range communication to achieve k-anonymity with collaborative users. Along with the analysis of existing algorithms,we found users in the group must share the same maximum anonymity degree,and they could not ease the process of preservation in a lower one. To cope with this problem,we proposed a random-QBE algorithm to put up with personalized anonymity in user collaboration algorithms,and this algorithm could preserve both query privacy and location privacy. Then we studied the attacks from passive and active adversaries and used entropy to measure user's privacy level. Finally,experimental evaluations further verify its effectiveness and efficiency.展开更多

For example,safety-related ITS services must always be low latency and entertainment-related ITS services need high data rate. The ITS dedicated short range communications (DSRC) technology to support the safetyrelated application is still under development, while long term evolution (LTE),as the next generation mobile communication systems,offers an efficient communication platform for ITS information exchange , which can meet most ITS services requirements of latency,data rate as well as communication range. In this paper,based on the time-division duplex (TDD) mode of LTE,i.e. TD-LTE,an enhanced TD-LTE network architecture is introduced to better support safety-related ITS application with low latency requirement,and some enhanced access schemes of TD-LTE are proposed to improve the performance of supporting the high-speed IP-based ITS applications in hotspots. At last,two practical application scenarios of enhanced TD-LTE systems are given.展开更多

Principally, people who are deaf find it difficult to communicate with the hearing community and due to recent technological advancement they communicate amongst themselves and with the hearing community via text messaging on mobile phones. Existing messaging function is limited to writing based on the Roman alphabets or pictographic languages like Mandarin; writing in signs is deemed to be deficient in a mobile context. Hence, the aim of this paper is to examine the feasibility of writing and reading text messages in signs as an alternative communication mean besides Short Messaging Service （SMS）. Initial experimental results have significantly exemplified that sign writing gains well acceptance and is preferred among the hearing-impaired community to communicate within or between the hearing communities.展开更多
