However, the increasing number of intelligent devices joining the MMSN poses a growing threat to network security. Current Artificial Intelligence(AI) intrusion detection techniques turn intrusion detection into a classification problem, where AI excels. These techniques assume sufficient high-quality instances for model construction, which is often unsatisfactory for real-world operation with limited attack instances and constantly evolving characteristics. This paper proposes an Adaptive Personalized Federated learning(APFed) framework that allows multiple MMSN owners to engage in collaborative training. By employing an adaptive personalized update and a shared global classifier, the adverse effects of imbalanced, Non-Independent and Identically Distributed(Non-IID) data are mitigated, enabling the intrusion detection model to possess personalized capabilities and good global generalization. In addition, a lightweight intrusion detection model is proposed to detect various attacks with an effective adaptation to the MMSN environment. Finally, extensive experiments on a classical network dataset show that the attack classification accuracy is improved by about 5% compared to most baselines in the global scenarios.展开更多

To meet the diverse needs of tasks, it usually needs to instantiate multiple network functions in the form of containers interconnect various generated containers to build a Container Cluster(CC). Then CCs will be deployed on edge service nodes with relatively limited resources. However, the increasingly complex and timevarying nature of tasks brings great challenges to optimal placement of CC. This paper regards the charges for various resources occupied by providing services as revenue, the service efficiency and energy consumption as cost, thus formulates a Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) model to describe the optimal placement of CC on edge service nodes. Furthermore, an Actor-Critic based Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL) incorporating Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN) framework named as RL-GCN is proposed to solve the optimization problem. The framework obtains an optimal placement strategy through self-learning according to the requirements and objectives of the placement of CC. Particularly, through the introduction of GCN, the features of the association relationship between multiple containers in CCs can be effectively extracted to improve the quality of placement.The experiment results show that under different scales of service nodes and task requests, the proposed method can obtain the improved system performance in terms of placement error ratio, time efficiency of solution output and cumulative system revenue compared with other representative baseline methods.展开更多

文摘6G is desired to support more intelligence networks and this trend attaches importance to the self-healing capability if degradation emerges in the cellular networks.As a primary component of selfhealing networks,fault detection is investigated in this paper.Considering the fast response and low timeand-computational consumption,it is the first time that the Online Broad Learning System(OBLS)is applied to identify outages in cellular networks.In addition,the Automatic-constructed Online Broad Learning System(AOBLS)is put forward to rationalize its structure and consequently avoid over-fitting and under-fitting.Furthermore,a multi-layer classification structure is proposed to further improve the classification performance.To face the challenges caused by imbalanced data in fault detection problems,a novel weighting strategy is derived to achieve the Multilayer Automatic-constructed Weighted Online Broad Learning System(MAWOBLS)and ensemble learning with retrained Support Vector Machine(SVM),denoted as EMAWOBLS,for superior treatment with this imbalance issue.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance in detecting faults with satisfactory time usage.

文摘With the rapid development of network technologies,a large number of deployed edge devices and information systems generate massive amounts of data which provide good support for the advancement of data-driven intelligent models.However,these data often contain sensitive information of users.Federated learning(FL),as a privacy preservation machine learning setting,allows users to obtain a well-trained model without sending the privacy-sensitive local data to the central server.Despite the promising prospect of FL,several significant research challenges need to be addressed before widespread deployment,including network resource allocation,model security,model convergence,etc.In this paper,we first provide a brief survey on some of these works that have been done on FL and discuss the motivations of the Communication Networks(CNs)and FL to mutually enable each other.We analyze the support of network technologies for FL,which requires frequent communication and emphasizes security,as well as the studies on the intelligence of many network scenarios and the improvement of network performance and security by the methods based on FL.At last,some challenges and broader perspectives are explored.

文摘With the rapid development of advanced networking and computing technologies such as the Internet of Things, network function virtualization, and 5G infrastructure, new development opportunities are emerging for Maritime Meteorological Sensor Networks(MMSNs). However, the increasing number of intelligent devices joining the MMSN poses a growing threat to network security. Current Artificial Intelligence(AI) intrusion detection techniques turn intrusion detection into a classification problem, where AI excels. These techniques assume sufficient high-quality instances for model construction, which is often unsatisfactory for real-world operation with limited attack instances and constantly evolving characteristics. This paper proposes an Adaptive Personalized Federated learning(APFed) framework that allows multiple MMSN owners to engage in collaborative training. By employing an adaptive personalized update and a shared global classifier, the adverse effects of imbalanced, Non-Independent and Identically Distributed(Non-IID) data are mitigated, enabling the intrusion detection model to possess personalized capabilities and good global generalization. In addition, a lightweight intrusion detection model is proposed to detect various attacks with an effective adaptation to the MMSN environment. Finally, extensive experiments on a classical network dataset show that the attack classification accuracy is improved by about 5% compared to most baselines in the global scenarios.
文摘Container-based virtualization technology has been more widely used in edge computing environments recently due to its advantages of lighter resource occupation, faster startup capability, and better resource utilization efficiency. To meet the diverse needs of tasks, it usually needs to instantiate multiple network functions in the form of containers interconnect various generated containers to build a Container Cluster(CC). Then CCs will be deployed on edge service nodes with relatively limited resources. However, the increasingly complex and timevarying nature of tasks brings great challenges to optimal placement of CC. This paper regards the charges for various resources occupied by providing services as revenue, the service efficiency and energy consumption as cost, thus formulates a Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) model to describe the optimal placement of CC on edge service nodes. Furthermore, an Actor-Critic based Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL) incorporating Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN) framework named as RL-GCN is proposed to solve the optimization problem. The framework obtains an optimal placement strategy through self-learning according to the requirements and objectives of the placement of CC. Particularly, through the introduction of GCN, the features of the association relationship between multiple containers in CCs can be effectively extracted to improve the quality of placement.The experiment results show that under different scales of service nodes and task requests, the proposed method can obtain the improved system performance in terms of placement error ratio, time efficiency of solution output and cumulative system revenue compared with other representative baseline methods.
文摘The rapid increase in the number of Internet of Things(IoT)devices,coupled with a rise in sophisticated cyberattacks,demands robust intrusion detection systems.This study presents a holistic,intelligent intrusion detection system.It uses a combined method that integrates machine learning(ML)and deep learning(DL)techniques to improve the protection of contemporary information technology(IT)systems.Unlike traditional signature-based or singlemodel methods,this system integrates the strengths of ensemble learning for binary classification and deep learning for multi-class classification.This combination provides a more nuanced and adaptable defense.The research utilizes the NF-UQ-NIDS-v2 dataset,a recent,comprehensive benchmark for evaluating network intrusion detection systems(NIDS).Our methodological framework employs advanced artificial intelligence techniques.Specifically,we use ensemble learning algorithms(Random Forest,Gradient Boosting,AdaBoost,and XGBoost)for binary classification.Deep learning architectures are also employed to address the complexities of multi-class classification,allowing for fine-grained identification of intrusion types.To mitigate class imbalance,a common problem in multi-class intrusion detection that biases model performance,we use oversampling and data augmentation.These techniques ensure equitable class representation.The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed hybrid ML-DL system.It achieves significant improvements in intrusion detection accuracy and reliability.This research contributes substantively to cybersecurity by providing a more robust and adaptable intrusion detection solution.

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)play a critical role in automated border surveillance systems,where continuous monitoring is essential.However,limited energy resources in sensor nodes lead to frequent network failures and reduced coverage over time.To address this issue,this paper presents an innovative energy-efficient protocol based on deep Q-learning(DQN),specifically developed to prolong the operational lifespan of WSNs used in border surveillance.By harnessing the adaptive power of DQN,the proposed protocol dynamically adjusts node activity and communication patterns.This approach ensures optimal energy usage while maintaining high coverage,connectivity,and data accuracy.The proposed system is modeled with 100 sensor nodes deployed over a 1000 m×1000 m area,featuring a strategically positioned sink node.Our method outperforms traditional approaches,achieving significant enhancements in network lifetime and energy utilization.Through extensive simulations,it is observed that the network lifetime increases by 9.75%,throughput increases by 8.85%and average delay decreases by 9.45%in comparison to the similar recent protocols.It demonstrates the robustness and efficiency of our protocol in real-world scenarios,highlighting its potential to revolutionize border surveillance operations.

文摘Due to their high mechanical compliance and excellent biocompatibility,conductive hydrogels exhibit significant potential for applications in flexible electronics.However,as the demand for high sensitivity,superior mechanical properties,and strong adhesion performance continues to grow,many conventional fabrication methods remain complex and costly.Herein,we propose a simple and efficient strategy to construct an entangled network hydrogel through a liquid-metal-induced cross-linking reaction,hydrogel demonstrates outstanding properties,including exceptional stretchability(1643%),high tensile strength(366.54 kPa),toughness(350.2 kJ m^(−3)),and relatively low mechanical hysteresis.The hydrogel exhibits long-term stable reusable adhesion(104 kPa),enabling conformal and stable adhesion to human skin.This capability allows it to effectively capture high-quality epidermal electrophysiological signals with high signal-to-noise ratio(25.2 dB)and low impedance(310 ohms).Furthermore,by integrating advanced machine learning algorithms,achieving an attention classification accuracy of 91.38%,which will significantly impact fields like education,healthcare,and artificial intelligence.

文摘Urban traffic prediction with high precision is always the unremitting pursuit of intelligent transportation systems and is instrumental in bringing smart cities into reality.The fundamental challenges for traffic prediction lie in the accurate modelling of spatial and temporal traffic dynamics.Existing approaches mainly focus on modelling the traffic data itself,but do not explore the traffic correlations implicit in origin-destination(OD)data.In this paper,we propose STOD-Net,a dynamic spatial-temporal OD feature-enhanced deep network,to simultaneously predict the in-traffic and out-traffic for each and every region of a city.We model the OD data as dynamic graphs and adopt graph neural networks in STOD-Net to learn a low-dimensional representation for each region.As per the region feature,we design a gating mechanism and operate it on the traffic feature learning to explicitly capture spatial correlations.To further capture the complicated spatial and temporal dependencies among different regions,we propose a novel joint feature,learning block in STOD-Net and transfer the hybrid OD features to each block to make the learning process spatiotemporal-aware.We evaluate the effectiveness of STOD-Net on two benchmark datasets,and experimental results demonstrate that it outperforms the state-of-the-art by approximately 5%in terms of prediction accuracy and considerably improves prediction stability up to 80%in terms of standard deviation.

文摘To address uncertainties in satellite orbit error prediction,this study proposes a novel ensemble learning-based orbit prediction method specifically designed for the BeiDou navigation satellite system(BDS).Building on ephemeris data and perturbation corrections,two new models are proposed:attention-enhanced BPNN(AEBP)and Transformer-ResNet-BiLSTM(TR-BiLSTM).These models effectively capture both local and global dependencies in satellite orbit data.To further enhance prediction accuracy and stability,the outputs of these two models were integrated using the gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)ensemble learning method,which was optimized through a grid search.The main contribution of this approach is the synergistic combination of deep learning models and GBDT,which significantly improves both the accuracy and robustness of satellite orbit predictions.This model was validated using broadcast ephemeris data from the BDS-3 MEO and inclined geosynchronous orbit(IGSO)satellites.The results show that the proposed method achieves an error correction rate of 65.4%.This ensemble learning-based approach offers a highly effective solution for high-precision and stable satellite orbit predictions.

文摘The rapid development of military technology has prompted different types of equipment to break the limits of operational domains and emerged through complex interactions to form a vast combat system of systems(CSoS),which can be abstracted as a heterogeneous combat network(HCN).It is of great military significance to study the disintegration strategy of combat networks to achieve the breakdown of the enemy’s CSoS.To this end,this paper proposes an integrated framework called HCN disintegration based on double deep Q-learning(HCN-DDQL).Firstly,the enemy’s CSoS is abstracted as an HCN,and an evaluation index based on the capability and attack costs of nodes is proposed.Meanwhile,a mathematical optimization model for HCN disintegration is established.Secondly,the learning environment and double deep Q-network model of HCN-DDQL are established to train the HCN’s disintegration strategy.Then,based on the learned HCN-DDQL model,an algorithm for calculating the HCN’s optimal disintegration strategy under different states is proposed.Finally,a case study is used to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of HCNDDQL,and the results demonstrate that HCN-DDQL can disintegrate HCNs more effectively than baseline methods.
