This letter delves into a comprehensive analysis of phishing sites, focusing on their distinctive characteristics through the lens of network perspectives. In this letter, we study the underlying characteristics of phishing sites from the hyperlinked connectivity perspectives. In this letter, we have used a phishing site dataset available at Mendeley data. As the dataset does not contain any hyperlinked information, We further collect the hyperlinks in each site and store that information in a JSON file. We further analyze the hyperlinks and the various features of those sites. The initial study reveals that though the Phishing sites mimic the original legitimate sites to trap people in their sites, it has distinct differences from the perspective of structural connectivity as well as the content of sites.","PeriodicalId":100628,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Networking Letters","volume":"6 1","pages":"46-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140042931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to maximize the number of users that satisfy both data volume and latency requirements. Due to the NP-hardness of the formulated optimization task, we propose an efficient genetic algorithm to find promising user subsets at low complexity. Numerical results demonstrate that our proposal outperforms the compared greedy algorithm and round-robin algorithm, which can provide a guideline for the design of systems with deterministic requirements in practice.","PeriodicalId":100628,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Networking Letters","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140042929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to pursue performance improvement, the existing studies mainly focus on developing complex deep neural network models, which suffer from extensive computation cost and large model size inevitably.

In this letter, we propose a multiservice and multimodal feature fusion network for super-lightweight cellular network traffic prediction, namely \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$m^{2}FFNet$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, to address the issue. Briefly speaking, such a network consists of a duel feature extraction channel based on grouped 3D convolution for capturing multiservice feature and multimodal feature (yielded from wavelet transform decomposition), respectively. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposal can achieve comparable prediction accuracy as the state-of-the-art deep learning methods, meanwhile obtaining much less computation burden with rather few model size.","PeriodicalId":100628,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Networking Letters","volume":"6 1","pages":"16-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134889870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scheme’s salient feature is that it allows the EDs to adjust their relaying behavior according to their energy status, such that EDs with higher energy reserves perform more forwarding. This prevents early depletion of batteries at the low-energy forwarders, while still achieving high reliability levels. The network is divided into tiers. Any ED in a given tier can relay message from any other ED in certain other tier; this eliminates the need for complicated relay-selection procedures. No synchronization requirement is imposed on the EDs. We demonstrate large reductions in the loss rate with just 10% of the EDs acting as relays, operating within 1% duty cycle.","PeriodicalId":100628,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Networking Letters","volume":"6 1","pages":"41-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
