Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of reducing smart contract fees for a decentralized application (DApp). A parameter of a request reception event and a public key of a user are stored in a task queue of a computation server. The computation server performs a task requested by the user, calls a state change function for the performed task from a smart contract, and transmits a transaction result to the user when the transaction result is returned. The user pays, to the smart contract, a fee corresponding to the generation of the request reception event, and the computation server pays, to the smart contract, a fee corresponding to a state change of the smart contract. Thus, by minimizing and uniformizing a fee to be paid by a user of a DApp system, it is possible to increase accessibility to a corresponding DApp.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a block cipher apparatus and method for real-time data transmission and the block cipher apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a block encryption unit which selects a key in accordance with an order of keys having different lengths to encrypt each plaintext block and generate a ciphertext block; and a message authentication unit which generates a message authentication code using a key selected at the time of encrypting a current plaintext block which is encrypted in the block encryption unit and a previous message authentication code generated by a plaintext block before the current plaintext block.
Abstract:
An UWB-based indoor positioning system using out-of-band management includes a plurality of nodes that individually broadcast an UWB broadcast message through an ultra-wide band (UWB) channel; and a remote positioning server for receiving a response message to the UWB broadcast message through an out-of-band network, calculating a time of flight (ToF) between the nodes based on the identification information and timestamp information of each of the nodes included in the response message and producing a positioning information of each of the nodes by calculating a distance between the nodes using the calculated ToF. The UWB-based indoor positioning system and method using out-of-band management can significantly improve node scalability and flexibility in the UWB positioning system through the unification of processes between anchor/tag nodes and simplification of the initial registration procedure.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for selecting power preference information based on network usage information used for a background process of a terminal. The power preference information selection method of the present disclosure includes measuring background network usage of a terminal, acquiring network usage information of the terminal when the background network usage exceeds a predetermined threshold, selecting the power preference information based on the network usage information, and transmitting the power preference information to the base station.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a terminal effectively allocating communication resources to individual processes run by the user. The terminal may update a list of running processes based on information for one or more processes, determining the amount of resources for each process in the list according to priority information of the process related information, and allocating resources to at least one process in the list according to the determined resource amounts. Accordingly, the terminal can adjust throughputs of individual processes to support quality of communication of a process having high priority. This disclosure relates to communication methods and systems that achieve convergence of 5G communication systems supporting even higher data rates after 4G systems and IoT technologies. Based on IoT technologies, this disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, including smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart/connected cars, health-care applications, digital education applications, retail business applications, and security and safety services.
Abstract:
A method and an electronic device for controlling a topology are provided. The method includes forming a star topology by directly connecting the electronic device to at least one node, and transmitting and receiving signals with neighboring nodes including the at least one node and determining whether to form the star topology or an extended star topology with the neighboring nodes based on a result of the transmitting and receiving, wherein the star topology is a topology in which the electronic device is directly connected to the neighboring nodes, and wherein the extended star topology is a topology in which the electronic device is directly connected to the neighboring nodes via an already connected node.
