This paper proposes a novel joint channel estimation and beamforming scheme for the massive multiple-input-multiple-output(MIMO)frequency-division duplexing(FDD) wireless legitimate surveillance system. With the proposed scheme,the monitor with the full duplex capability realizes the proactive eavesdropping of the suspicious link by leveraging the pilot attack approach. Specifically, exploiting the effective eavesdropping rate and the mean square error as performance metrics and setting a total power budget at the training and transmission phases,while guaranteeing the information from suspicious source can be successfully decode, joint pilot design,power allocation and beamforming strategy are formulated as optimization problems for the two objective functions: MSE and effective eavesdropping rate. A closed-form expression of the optimal pilot with the limited length can be obtained via the channel correlation. The optimal power problem at the training phase can be solved by a simple bisection method. Then,based on the obtained imperfect estimated channel,the jamming beamforming at monitor optimization algorithm is proposed by utilizing the convex Semidefinite Programming approach to maximize the effective eavesdropping rate. Numerical results show that the proposed joint pilot design, power allocation and beamforming optimization scheme can improve the surveillance performance of the legitimate monitor as compared to the existing passive eavesdropping and jamming-assisted eavesdropping.

The availability of network big data, such as those from online users' surfing records, communication records, and e-commerce records, makes it possible for us to probe into and quantify the regular patterns of users' long-range and complex interactions between websites. If we see the Web as a virtual living organism, according to the metabolic theory, the websites must absorb "energy" to grow, reproduce, and develop. We are interested in the following two questions: 1) where does the "energy" come from? 2) will the websites generate macro influence on the whole Web based on the "energy"? Our data consist of more than 30 000 online users' surfing log data from China Internet Network Information Center. We would consider the influence as metabolism and users' attention flow as the energy for the websites. We study how collective attention distributes and flows among different websites by the empirical attention flow network. Different from traditional studies which focused on information flow, we study users' attention flow, which is not only a "reversed" way to study Web structure and transmission mode, but also the first step to understand the underlying dynamics of the World Wide Web. We find that the macro influence of websites scales sub-linearly against the collective attention flow dwelling time, which is not consistent with the heuristics that the more users' dwelling time is, the greater influence a website will have. Further analysis finds a supper-linear scaling relationship between the influence of websites and the attention flow intensity. This is a websites version of Kleiber's law. We further notice that the development cycle of the websites can be split into three phases: the uncertain growth phase, the partially accelerating growth phase, and the fully accelerating growth phase. We also find that compared with the widespread hyperlinks analysis models, the attention flow network is an effective theoretical tool to estimate and rank websites.
