Edge Computing-Based Joint Client Selection and Networking Scheme for Federated Learning in Vehicular IoT

In order to support advanced vehicular Internet-of-Things(IoT)applications,information exchanges among different vehicles are required to find efficient solutions for catering to different application requirements in complex and dynamic vehicular environments.Federated learning(FL),which is a type of distributed learning technology,has been attracting great interest in recent years as it performs knowledge exchange among different network entities without a violation of user privacy.However,client selection and networking scheme for enabling FL in dynamic vehicular environments,which determines the communication delay between FL clients and the central server that aggregates the models received from the clients,is still under-explored.In this paper,we propose an edge computing-based joint client selection and networking scheme for vehicular IoT.The proposed scheme assigns some vehicles as edge vehicles by employing a distributed approach,and uses the edge vehicles as FL clients to conduct the training of local models,which learns optimal behaviors based on the interaction with environments.The clients also work as forwarder nodes in information sharing among network entities.The client selection takes into account the vehicle velocity,vehicle distribution,and the wireless link connectivity between vehicles using a fuzzy logic algorithm,resulting in an efficient learning and networking architecture.We use computer simulations to evaluate the proposed scheme in terms of the communication overhead and the information covered in learning.

SEMANTIC NETWORK PRESENTATION OF MECHANICAL MOTION SCHEME AND ITS MECHANISM TYPES SELECTION METHOD

The presentation method of the mechanical motion scheme must support the whole process of conceptual design.To meet the requirement,a semantic network method is selected to represent process level,action level,mechanism level and relationships among them.Computer aided motion cycle chart exploration can be realized by the representation and revision of time coordination of mechanism actions and their effect on the design scheme.The uncertain reasoning technology based on semantic network is applied in the mechanism types selection of the needle driving mechanism of industrial sewing mechanism,and the application indicated it is correct,useful and advance.

A sink moving scheme based on local residual energy of nodes in wireless sensor networks

In the application of periodic data-gathering in sensor networks,sensor nodes located near the sink have to forward the data received from all other nodes to the sink,which depletes their energy very quickly.A moving scheme for the sink based on local residual energy was proposed.In the scheme,the sink periodically moves to a new location with the highest stay-value defined by the average residual energy and the number of neighbors.The scheme can balance energy consumption and prevent nodes around sink from draining their energy very quickly in the networks.The simulation results show that the scheme can prolong the network lifetime by 26%-65%compared with the earlier schemes where the sink is static or moves randomly.

CONTROL SCHEMES FOR CMAC NEURAL NETWORK-BASED VISUAL SERVOING

In IBVS (image based visual servoing), the error signal in image space should be transformed into the control signal in the input space quickly. To avoid the iterative adjustment and complicated inverse solution of image Jacobian, CMAC (cerebellar model articulation controller) neural network is inserted into visual servo control loop to implement the nonlinear mapping. Two control schemes are used. Simulation results on two schemes are provided, which show a better tracking precision and stability can be achieved using scheme 2.

A Transductive Scheme Based Inference Techniques for Network Forensic Analysis

Network forensics is a security infrastructure,and becomes the research focus of forensic investigation.However many challenges still exist in conducting network forensics:network has produced large amounts of data;the comprehensibility of evidence extracting from collected data;the efficiency of evidence analysis methods,etc.To solve these problems,in this paper we develop a network intrusion forensics system based on transductive scheme that can detect and analyze efficiently computer crime in networked environments,and extract digital evidence automatically.At the end of the paper,we evaluate our method on a series of experiments on KDD Cup 1999 dataset.The results demonstrate that our methods are actually effective for real-time network forensics,and can provide comprehensible aid for a forensic expert.

A Novel Resource Allocation Algorithm based on Downlink and Uplink Decouple Access Scheme in Heterogeneous Networks

Traditional cellular network requires that a user equipment(UE) should associate to the same base station(BS) in both the downlink(DL) and the uplink(UL). Based on dual connectivity(DC) introduced in LTE-Advanced R12, DL/UL decouple access scheme has been proposed, which is especially suitable for heterogeneous networks(Het Nets). This paper is the pioneer to take the DL/UL decouple access scheme into consideration and develop a novel resource allocation algorithm in a two-tier Het Net to improve the total system throughput in the UL and ease the load imbalance between macro base stations(MBSs) and pico base stations(PBSs). A model is formulated as a nonlinear integer programming, and the proposed algorithm is a sub-optimal algorithm based on the graph theory. First, an undirected and weighted interference graph is obtained. Next, the users are grouped to let users with large mutual interferences to be assigned to different clusters. Then, the users in different clusters are allocated to different resource blocks(RBs) by using the Hungarian algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can provide great promotions for both the total system throughput and the average cell edge user throughput and successfully ease the load imbalance between MBSs and PBSs.

Control schemes for synchronizing two subnetworks with weak couplings

In this paper, we propose a well-designed network model with a parameter and study full and partial synchronization of the network model based on the stability analysis. The network model is composed of a star-coupled subnetwork and a globally coupled subnetwork. By analyzing the special coupling configuration, three control schemes are obtained for synchronizing the network model. Further analysis indicates that even if the inner couplings in each subnetwork are very weak, two of the control schemes are still valid. In particular, if the outer coupling weight parameter θ is larger than (n2 2n)/4, or the subnetwork size n is larger than θ2, the two subnetworks with weak inner couplings can achieve synchronization. In addition, the synchronizability is independent of the network size in case of 0 < θ < n/(n + 1). Finally, we carry out some numerical simulations to confirm the validity of the obtained control schemes. It is worth noting that the main idea of this paper also applies to any network consisting of a dense subnetwork and a sparse network.

Neural Network Based Multi-level Fuzzy Evaluation Model for Mechanical Kinematic Scheme

To implement a quantificational evaluation for mechanical kinematic scheme more effectively,a multi-level and multi-objective evaluation model is presented using neural network and fuzzy theory. Firstly,the structure of evaluation model is constructed according to evaluation indicator system. Then evaluation samples are generated and provided to train this model. Thus it can reflect the relation between attributive value and evaluation result,as well as the weight of evaluation indicator. Once evaluation indicators of each candidate are fuzzily quantified and fed into the trained network model,the corresponding evaluation result is outputted and the best alternative can be selected. Under this model,expert knowledge can be effectively acquired and expressed,and the quantificational evaluation can be implemented for kinematic scheme with multi-level evaluation indicator system. Several key problems on this model are discussed and an illustration has demonstrated that this model is feasible and can be regarded as a new idea for solving kinematic scheme evaluation.

Defending Against Link Failure in Virtual Network Embedding Using a Hybrid Scheme

Nowadays network virtualization is utterly popular.As a result,how to protect the virtual networks from attacking on the link is increasingly important.Existing schemes are mainly backup-based,which suffer from data loss and are helpless to such attacks like data tampering.To offer high security level,in this paper,we first propose a multipath and decision-making(MD) scheme which applies multipath simultaneously delivery and decision-making for protecting the virtual network.Considering different security requirement for virtual link,we devise a hybrid scheme to protect the virtual links.For the critical links,MD scheme is adopted.For the other links,we adopt the Shared Backup Scheme.Our simulation results indicate the proposed scheme can significantly increase the security level of the critical link high in the loss of less acceptance ratio.

Evaluation of Linear Precoding Schemes for Cooperative Multi-Cell MU MIMO in Future Mobile Communication Systems

In Mobile Communication Systems, inter-cell interference becomes one of the challenges that degrade the system’s performance, especially in the region with massive mobile users. The linear precoding schemes were proposed to mitigate interferences between the base stations (inter-cell). These schemes are categorized into linear and non-linear;this study focused on linear precoding schemes, which are grounded into three types, namely Zero Forcing (ZF), Block Diagonalization (BD), and Signal Leakage Noise Ratio (SLNR). The study included the Cooperative Multi-cell Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) System, whereby each Base Station serves more than one mobile station and all Base Stations on the system are assisted by each other by shared the Channel State Information (CSI). Based on the Multi-Cell Multiuser MIMO system, each Base Station on the cell is intended to maximize the data transmission rate by its mobile users by increasing the Signal Interference to Noise Ratio after the interference has been mitigated due to the usefully of linear precoding schemes on the transmitter. Moreover, these schemes used different approaches to mitigate interference. This study mainly concentrates on evaluating the performance of these schemes through the channel distribution models such as Ray-leigh and Rician included in the presence of noise errors. The results show that the SLNR scheme outperforms ZF and BD schemes overall scenario. This implied that when the value of SNR increased the performance of SLNR increased by 21.4% and 45.7% for ZF and BD respectively.

Performance Analysis of an Enhanced Load Balancing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

Research interest in sensor networks routing largely considers minimization of energy consumption as a major performance criterion to provide maximum sensors network lifetime. When considering energy conservation, routing protocols should also be designed to achieve fault tolerance in communications. Moreover, due to dynamic topology and random deployment, incorporating reliability into protocols for WSNs is very important. Hence, we propose an improved scalable clustering-based load balancing scheme (SCLB) in this paper. In SCLB scheme, scalability is achieved by dividing the network into overlapping multihop clusters each with its own cluster head node. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves longer network lifetime with desirable reliability at the initial state compare with the existing multihop load balancing approach.

Incentive Schemes of Nodes for Ad Hoc and Multi-hop Cellular Networks

Nodes cooperation is a significant prerequisite for the realization of the relaying Ad Hoc.While with the development of multi-hop cellular networks, how to stimulate intermediate nodes to do the packet-forwarding deserves more concerning.At present research,the incentive schemes in pure Ad Hoc and multi-hop cellular networks are analyzed and compared to classify the strengths and drawbacks of each scheme.We explain in particular what the key issues are to implement incentive schemes for cooperation. Finally,an incentive scheme based on integration of reputation and charging systems is proposed not only to block the existence of selfish nodes,but to satisfy the rational requirement of nodes.

HHR:Hierarchical Hybrid Routing Scheme for Information-Centric Network

Publish/subscribe(pub/sub) paradigm is the main communication model for Information-Centric Network(ICN) proposals.A key issue for pub/sub system is how to route the content objects to the correct subscribers,and ICN is no exception.ICN network would be divided into core domain and many edge domains as today's internet does.HHR(Hierarchy Hybrid Routing scheme) is presented for ICN:A Chord-like routing scheme is used in core domain,while edge domains routing structure can be classified into three categories,Local Routing(LR),Delivery of Local Publication to Core domain(DLPC),and Remote Publication Routing into edge domain(RPR).LR can be decided by each edge domain,which determined by many factors,such as locality characteristic for pub/sub information and local policies.A hierarchical routing algorithm is proposed to solve DLPC and RPR simultaneously.Simulation results demonstrate that HHR can be fast deployed,and can be applied in large scale network or dynamic subscription environment.

A Dual-Channel Secure Transmission Scheme for Internet-Based Networked Control Systems

Two significant issues in Internet-based networked control systems (INCSs),transport performance of different protocols and security breach from Internet side,are investigated. First,for improving the performance of data transmission,user datagram protocol (UDP) is adopted as the main stand for controllers and plants using INCSs. Second,a dual-channel secure transmission scheme (DCSTS)based on data transmission characteristics of INCSs is proposed,in which a raw UDP channel and a secure TCP (transmission control protocol) connection making use of SSL/TLS (secure sockets layer/transport layer security) are included. Further,a networked control protocol (NCP) at application layer for supporting DCSTS between the controllers and plants in INCSs is designed,and it also aims at providing a universal communication mechanism for interoperability of devices among the networked control laboratories in Beijing Institute of Technology of China,Central South University of China and Tokyo University of Technology of Japan. By means of a networked single-degree-of-freedom robot arm,an INCS under the new protocol and security environment is created. Compared with systems such as IPSec or SSL/TLS,which may cause more than 91% network throughput deduction,the new DCSTS protocol may yield results ten times better,being just 5.67%.

Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection in Vehicular Networks (VANETs)

As Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) become more sophisticated, the importance of integrating data protection and cybersecurity is increasingly evident. This paper offers a comprehensive investigation into the challenges and solutions associated with the privacy implications within VANETs, rooted in an intricate landscape of cross-jurisdictional data protection regulations. Our examination underscores the unique nature of VANETs, which, unlike other ad-hoc networks, demand heightened security and privacy considerations due to their exposure to sensitive data such as vehicle identifiers, routes, and more. Through a rigorous exploration of pseudonymization schemes, with a notable emphasis on the Density-based Location Privacy (DLP) method, we elucidate the potential to mitigate and sometimes sidestep the heavy compliance burdens associated with data protection laws. Furthermore, this paper illuminates the cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent to VANETs, proposing robust countermeasures, including secure data transmission protocols. In synthesizing our findings, we advocate for the proactive adoption of protective mechanisms to facilitate the broader acceptance of VANET technology while concurrently addressing regulatory and cybersecurity hurdles.
