Research on the Properties of Complex Signal Ensembles Obtained by Frequency Segments Permutation

2021-05-28T11:50:24+03:00

For cognitive telecommunication systems, the problem of reducing the level of multiple access interference (intrasystem interference), which occur during the simultaneous operation of different subscribers of one system in a common frequency band, is relevant. To this end, the formation methods of large ensembles of complex signals obtained by permutation of the frequency segments of the output sequences with a low level of interaction in the time domain, have been developed [1]. The cross-correlation level of the received signals shows the degree of signal interaction in the time domain and, thus, makes it possible to assess the level of multiple access problems in the cognitive telecommunication system. An important task is to determine the maximum emission level of the cross-correlation functions of the resulting complex signal ensembles depending on the filtering bands and, accordingly, their impact on the volume of the ensembles. Also, the dependence of multiple access interference level on the number and duration of pulses in the output sequences, which are used to form complex signal ensembles based on the frequency segments permutations, was interesting. The solution of these problems will make it possible to simplify the procedure for determining the width of the filter bands for the formation of complex signal ensembles by permutation of frequency segments.

The Usage of The Technology of Constructing “AS-IS” Models of Initial Maturity Levels of Process Management

2021-05-30T05:51:42+03:00

Research of enterprise maturity levels has shown that enterprises above the second maturity level have well-structured and documented processes. At the same time, systems of maturity level below the second don’t operate processes at all. Instead, such systems have workflows as an analogy of processes. Building of “as-is” model with Process Mining technology is complicated for such kind of systems due to the inconsistency of log structures of the management systems to requirements defined by the mining technology. To resolve the constraints the technology of construction of graph models of business processes of zero and first maturity levels of process management on the basis of the analysis of event logs is offered. The technology involves structuring the event log, building graph models of workflows of the system, forming business process logs by combining routes, and building graph models of workflows "as is" by means of intellectual analysis of processes.

Securing the Internet of Things via VPN technology

2021-05-30T06:53:05+03:00

The speed at which the Internet of Things is evolving these days looks promising for the smart environment of the future. Along with the popularity of smart devices, concerns about the security of IoT devices are also growing because they are inherently resource-constrained, heterogeneous and they suffer from a lack of standard security controls or protocols. In particular, because of their inability to support today's secure network protocols and security mechanisms, standard security solutions are not suitable for dynamic Internet of Things environments that require large and smart infrastructure deployments. Current Internet of Things environments use predominantly cloud-based approaches so that data can be exchanged in unlimited quantities, leading to additional security and privacy risks. While standard security protocols such as virtual private networks have recently been implemented for certain Internet of Things environments, the implementation models presented have few variations and are virtually unscalable for any dynamically scalable Internet of Things deployment.
