  • Publication number: 20170257396
    Abstract: For cyber security, a computer with network access incorporates game theory and utilizes a honey net to enhance game-theoretic developments over active and passive sensors. To numerically solve the uniquely three-sided game modeled cyber security problem, a geometry method based on 3D action curves can be applied. The method can first determine whether the game problem has one Nash equilibrium, multiple Nash equilibriums, or no Nash equilibrium; can check the equilibrium is a mixed or pure Nash; can timely compute Nash equilibriums; and follows a fictitious play concept. The solution is adaptive and can be applied for any partially observed cyber security system.

  • Patent number: 9737988
    Abstract: Methods and devices for demonstrating three-player pursuit-evasion (PE) game are provided using a hardware-in-loop test-bed. Robots including pursuer robots and an evader robot are arranged on a solid surface. A drone is positioned flying above to oversee the robots to capture a video or an image sequence of the robots. A robot thread process and a drone thread process are implemented by a computer. In the robot thread process, a tracking-by-detection process is perform to provide a state of the robot including a location and a heading direction of the robot; a delay compensation is conducted; and a PE game is called to calculate a robot command. In the drone thread process, a drone control is calculated to make the drone follow an evader robot, the drone control is sent to the drone, and user commands are also checked.

  • Publication number: 20170124758
    Abstract: Method and system for predicting collision probability of space objects are provided. Space objects are allocated according to a total number thereof for parallel computation in a GPU device. Initial orbit states of the space objects are generated by an initial-orbit-state generation kernel of the GPU device. Orbit propagation for each space object is performed based on the initial orbit state to predict a state of each space object by an orbit propagation kernel of the GPU device. The predicted states of the space objects are collected by a predicted-orbit-state collection kernel of the GPU device. A real-time visualization and rendering of the predicted space objects are performed in a form of point cloud during interactions between CPU threads and GPU kernels. A CPU host predicts a collision probability of any two space objects among the multitude of space objects, according to the interactions between the CPU threads and the GPU kernels.

  • Patent number: 9641280
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an anti-jamming method in a satellite communication (SATCOM) system. A waveform modulation is performed on a waveform of a source data to provide a modulated waveform transmitted to a transmitter and then to a receiver. The modulated waveform transmitted from the receiver is demodulated to provide a demodulated waveform. In response to interference, a game reasoning process is performed on the demodulated waveform to provide an anti-jamming adaptive waveform. By performing a game-optimal waveform modulation on the anti-jamming adaptive waveform, a frequency hopping process is used to guide the data transmission, such that the source data is transmitted with a minimal probability of being interfered.

  • Patent number: 9094856
    Abstract: Routing methods are provided for IP-based Iridium like LEO polar satellite constellation network for finding a Manhattan path between a source node and a destination node. The routing methods can include identification of congested inter satellite links (ISLs). By selecting and using uncongested alternative paths, an original routing process can be converted into sub-routing processes each in a small scale of a Manhattan path region. Quality of Service (QoS) requirements such as delays and jitters can be incorporated into the routing methods, which leads to efficient routing and enhanced QoS-performance over the satellite constellation network. The disclosed routing methods can be suitable for real-time routing/rerouting applications under dynamic network conditions.
