The increasingly prevalent livecast streaming causes expensive bandwidth costs and delivery capacity challenges for the content delivery network (CDN) service. As an emerging paradigm, edge computing offers new opportunities to address this issue. The existing works are limited to the data volume pricing model. In contrast, we focus on the 95th-percentile pricing model, which is adopted by many large-scale livecast systems. We propose a Cost-aware Edge-assisted Livecast system (CEL) to minimize the bandwidth cost, consisting of two components: 1) the Shapley values are leveraged to model the actual bandwidth costs for the CDN and edge servers in different time slots, together with acceleration technologies for fast Shapley value estimation and 2) a greedy request scheduling algorithm with theoretical guarantees is proposed to solve the online request scheduling problem, which is NP-hard. Based on real-world data from an operational livecast system, our experiments demonstrate that CEL is time-efficient and achieves at least 14.81% bandwidth cost savings compared with four state-of-the-art methods.

Volumetric videos offer viewers more immersive experiences, enabling a variety of applications. However, state-of-the-art streaming systems still need hundreds of Mbps bandwidth to transmit volumetric videos, exceeding the common bandwidth capabilities of mobile devices. We find a research gap in reusing inter-frame redundant information to reduce bandwidth consumption, while the existing inter-frame compression methods rely on the so-called explicit correlation, i.e., the redundancy from the same/adjacent locations in the previous frame, which does not apply to highly dynamic frames or dynamic viewports. This paper introduces a new concept called implicit correlation, i.e., the consistency of topological structures, which stably exists in dynamic frames and is beneficial for reducing bandwidth consumption. We design a mobile volumetric video streaming system Hermes consisting of an implicit correlation encoder to reduce bandwidth consumption and a hybrid streaming method that adapts to dynamic viewports. Experiments on public datasets show that Hermes achieves a frame rate of 30+ FPS over daily networks and on commodity smartphones, with at least 3.64x and 3.34x improvement compared with two state-of-the-art baselines, respectively.

Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN) has recently attracted extensive attention as a new type of network architecture, which can meet the ever-increasing demands of users for ubiquitous access. However, due to different coverage performance of various networks and the demands of huge capacity in ultra-dense regions, frequent passive group handover will occur, thereby decreasing the quality of service (QoS) and causing signaling storms. To tackle this problem, we introduce low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, high-altitude platforms and ground base stations to cover ultra-dense regions. The mobility management functions are configured in LEO satellites, which serve as a central controller and compute the average utility based on QoS. We propose an evolutionary game-based vertical handover scheme, where the users covered by SAGINs are modeled as players to compete limited network resources. Simulation results verified the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in meeting the QoS while improving the utility of networks.

In addition to secret splitting, secret reconstruction is another important component of secret sharing. In this paper, the first quantum secret reconstruction protocol is proposed to protect the reconstruction process. Before the protocol, a classical secret is divided into multiple shares that are distributed to the shareholds, respectively. In the presented protocol, the dealer utilizes the secret to encrypt a privacy quantum state, and sends the encrypted state to a combiner who is chosen by the dealer within the shareholders. With the help of other shareholders, the combiner utilizes the properties of cluster states to recover the privacy quantum state. It is shown that the proposed protocol is secure against several common attacks, including external and internal attacks. Compared with classical secret reconstruction protocols, this protocol not only achieves information-theoretic security of all shares, but is also more efficient due to the reduced distribution and computation cost. To demonstrate the feasibility of the protocol, a corresponding simulation quantum experiment is conducted on the IBM Q. Furthermore, in conjunction with quantum fingerprinting, it can be directly applied to achieve the task of quantum multiple secrets sharing, since the classical shares can be reused in the proposed protocol. The work proposes the first quantum secret reconstruction protocol to protect the secret reconstruction process. Compared with classical secret reconstruction protocols, the presented protocol not only achieves information-theoretic security of all shares but is also more efficient due to the reduced distribution and computation cost.
