# IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering

## Issue 99

Early Access articles are new content made available in advance of the final electronic or print versions and result from IEEE's Preprint or Rapid Post processes. Preprint articles are peer-reviewed but not fully edited. Rapid Post articles are peer-reviewed and edited but not paginated. Both these types of Early Access articles are fully citable from the moment they appear in IEEE Xplore.

• ### Opinion Behavior Analysis in Social Networks under the Influence of Coopetitive Media

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (5927 KB)

Both interpersonal communication and media contact are important information sources and play a significant role in shaping public opinions of large populations. In this article, we investigate how the opinion-forming process evolves over social networks under media influence. In addition to being affected by the opinions of their connected peers, the media cooperate and/or compete mutually with e... View full abstract»

• ### Breakup of Directed Multipartite Networks

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (6037 KB)

A complex network in reality often consists of profuse components which might suffer from unpredictable perturbations. Because the components of a network could be interdependent, therefore the failures of a few components may trigger catastrophes to the entire network. It is thus pivotal to exploit the robustness of complex networks. Existing studies on network robustness mainly deal with interde... View full abstract»

• ### Random Caching Optimization in Large-scale Cache-Enabled Internet of Things Networks

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (780 KB)

The introduction of cache can reduce unnecessary traffic load and improve latency in the wireless access networks, especially for wireless video broadcasting. But how cache impacts video broadcasting with scalable video coding (SVC) is still an open problem. In this paper, we analyze the optimization of random caching in a large-scale cache-enabled IoT networks. Specifically we propose to optimize... View full abstract»

• ### Spatial Task Assignment Based on Information Gain in Crowdsourcing

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (1600 KB)

Spatial crowdsourcing provides workers for performing cooperative tasks considering their locations, and is drawing much attention with the rapid development of mobile Internet. The key techniques in spatial crowdsourcing include worker-mobitlity-based task matching for more information gain and efficient cooperation among co-workers. In this paper, we firstly propose information gain based maximu... View full abstract»

• ### Graph-Theoretic Approach for Increasing Participation in Networks with Assorted Resources

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (1214 KB)

In many cooperative networks, individuals participate actively as long as they recognize a sufficient value in participation, which depends not only on the number, but also on the attributes of other participating members. In this paper, we present a generalized model of individuals' participation in such networks, and a strategy to maximize the number of participating individuals. Unlike most of ...

• ### Indirect Gaussian Graph Learning beyond Gaussianity

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (1260 KB)

This paper studies how to capture dependency graph structures from real data which may not be multivariate Gaussian. Starting from marginal loss functions not necessarily derived from probability distributions, we utilize an additive over-parametrization with shrinkage to incorporate variable dependencies into the criterion. An iterative Gaussian graph learning algorithm is proposed with ease in i... View full abstract»

• ### Privacy-aware Task Allocation and Data Aggregation in Fog-assisted Spatial Crowdsourcing

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (1029 KB)

Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) enables task owners (TOs) to outsource spatial-related tasks to a SC-server who engages mobile users in collecting sensing data at some specified locations with their mobile devices. Data aggregation, as a specific SC task, has drawn much attention in mining the potential value of the massive spatial crowdsensing data. However, the release of SC tasks and the execution o...

• ### Failure-Aware Protection for Many-to-Many Routing in Content Centric Networks

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (4866 KB)

Network communications can easily be disrupted by the failure of networking equipment, ranging from a single accidental link cut, to a wide swath of links and nodes wiped out simultaneously by a natural disaster. To mitigate the impact of these failures, survivability solutions involving precomputed backup paths can be used to help maintain connectivity and reduce service downtime. Further improve...

• ### Communication Network Topology Inference via Transfer Entropy

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (2399 KB)

In this work, we consider the problem of inferring links in a communication network, using limited, passive observations of network traffic. Our approach leverages transfer entropy (TE) as a metric for quantifying the strength of the automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanisms present in next-hop routing links. In contrast with existing approaches, TE provides an information-theoretic, model-free ap... View full abstract»

• ### Energy Efficiency in Multihop Wireless Networks with Unreliable Links

Publication Year: 2019, Page(s): 1
| | PDF (657 KB)

Due to the increasing number of wireless devices, the issue of energy efficiency that requires high data rate with reliability has spawned tremendous research interests in recent years. In wireless networks, a major problem that needs to be addressed is that multihop transmission, though requiring lower transmit power, incurs more circuit energy consumption than that of single-hop transmission and...
