With the advantages of ubiquitous universal Wi-Fi platforms and the “unconscious collaborative sensing” in the monitored target, Channel State Information (CSI)-based device-free passive indoor fingerprinting localization has become a popular research topic. However, most existing studies have encountered the difficult issues of high deployment labor costs and degradation of localization accuracy due to fingerprint variations in real-world dynamic environments. In this paper, we propose BSWCLoc, a device-free passive fingerprint localization scheme based on the beyond-sharing-weights approach. BSWCLoc uses the calibrated CSI phases, which are more sensitive to the target location, as localization features and performs feature processing from a two-dimensional perspective to ultimately obtain rich fingerprint information. This allows BSWLoc to achieve satisfactory accuracy with only one communication link, significantly reducing deployment consumption. In addition, a beyond-sharing-weights (BSW) method for domain adaptation is developed in BSWCLoc to address the problem of changing CSI in dynamic environments, which results in reduced localization performance. The BSW method proposes a dual-flow structure, where one flow runs in the source domain and the other in the target domain, with correlated but not shared weights in the adaptation layer. BSWCLoc greatly exceeds the state-of-the-art in terms of positioning accuracy and robustness, according to an extensive study in the dynamic indoor environment over 6 days.","PeriodicalId":13423,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management","volume":"21 6","pages":"6140-6152"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on three fundamental network measurement tasks: membership query, frequency query, and heavy hitter query. Existing solutions, such as sketches, sliding window algorithms, and the Sliding Sketch framework, struggle to simultaneously achieve memory efficiency, accuracy, real-time operation, and generic application. Accordingly, this paper proposes the Half Sliding Sketch (HSS), an improvement over the state-of-the-art Sliding Sketch framework. The HSS framework is applied to five contemporary sketches for the three aforementioned query tasks. Theoretical analysis reveals that our framework is faster, more memory-efficient and more accurate than the state-of-the-art Sliding Sketch while still being generic.

Our architecture employs a node selection allocation algorithm to determine encoding parameters and local repair groups based on the blockchain’s current state, enhancing system availability. We also present a new coding process, GELRC, which combines group coding exchange methods with locally repairable codes, significantly reducing encoding complexity. GELRC facilitates low-cost local repair and improves fault tolerance. Furthermore, we introduce a specialized Vandermonde matrix for designing the local codes of LRB, enhancing the scalability of existing coded blockchains.

The complex and resource-intensive vehicular applications pose significant connectivity and performance challenges for CAVS. To improve connectivity, optimize spectrum allocation, and mitigate network congestion, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is implemented. Furthermore, offloading and service caching are employed by storing and offloading relevant services at the edge of vehicular networks. However, due to the limited caching storage of vehicular edge servers, the decision to cache popular and emergent services to minimize delay and energy consumption becomes challenging. The decisions regarding computation offloading and service caching are also strongly coupled. In this work, a popularity-conscious service caching and offloading problem (PSCAOP) in a DT and NOMA-aided CAVS (DTCAVS) is studied. PSCAOP is mathematically constructed and observed to be NP-complete. Then a quantum-inspired particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm is proposed for DTCAVS (DTCAVS-QPSO), aiming to minimize delay and energy consumption. DTCAVS-QPSO prioritizes the popular and emergent service caching. The quantum particle (QP) is encoded to provide a comprehensive solution to the PSCAOP. A one-time mapping algorithm is used to decode the QPs. The fitness function is formulated considering delay, energy consumption, and type of service. All the phases of DTCAVS-QPSO are observed to be bounded in polynomial time. The significance of the proposed DTCAVS-QPSO is demonstrated through extensive simulations and hypothesis-based statistical analysis. Experimental outcomes underscore the superiority of the DTCAVS-QPSO over other standard works, indicating an average delay and an energy consumption reduction between 6% and 49%.","PeriodicalId":13423,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management","volume":"21 6","pages":"6451-6464"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges are further complicated by the large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous nature of IoV systems. Traditional approaches using Road Side Connecting Nodes (RSCNs) face challenges like limited range, high costs, and single points of failure. Drone-assisted IoV (DIoV) networks address these issues by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as mobile edge nodes, enhancing connectivity, extending coverage, and improving adaptability and resilience. To address these challenges, we propose SECURE, a drone-assisted, Physically Unclonable Function (PUF)-based authentication and privacy-preserving protocol integrated with edge computing. This architecture replaces RSCNs with edge nodes and incorporates UAVs as mobile edge nodes, providing extended coverage, reduced latency, and enhanced adaptability. The PUFs in SECURE generate unique hardware-based cryptographic keys, adding an additional layer of security, while edge computing offloads computational tasks, improves network efficiency, and further reduces latency. The formal security analysis, conducted using the Random Oracle Model (ROM), proves the robustness of the session key against active and passive adversaries. Furthermore, informal security analysis demonstrates that SECURE effectively resists various security attacks, while achieving confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity in DIoV. In SECURE, we have considered two types of devices for experiments: NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX and Raspberry Pi 4. The performance analysis, considering the results from Jetson Xavier NX, demonstrates that SECURE achieves maximum upto approximately 82.1% less communication cost and 78% faster computation time compared to the state-of-the-art schemes.","PeriodicalId":13423,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management","volume":"21 6","pages":"6974-6988"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It enables instant response and dynamic resource allocation based on real-time network information by moving resources from the cloud to the network edge. Containers, known for their lightweight nature and ease of deployment, have been recognized as a valuable virtualization technology for service deployment. However, the prolonged startup time of containers can lead to long response time, particularly in edge computing scenarios characterized by long propagation time, frequent deployment, and migration. In this paper, we comprehensively consider image caching, container assignment, and registry selection problem in an edge system. To our best effort, there is no existing work that has taken all the above aspects into account. To address the problem, we propose a novel image caching strategy that employs partial caching, allowing local registries to cache either the least functional or complete version of application images. In addition, a container assignment and registry selection problem is solved by using an edge-based collaborative lazy pulling algorithm. To evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithms, we conduct experiments with real-world app usage data and popular images in a testbed environment. The experimental results demonstrate that our algorithms outperform traditional greedy algorithms in terms of average user response time and cache hit rate.","PeriodicalId":13423,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management","volume":"21 6","pages":"6437-6450"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing solutions like gradient compression, compute/communication overlap, and layer-wise flow scheduling have been proposed, they are often coarse-grained and insufficient, especially under network congestion. These congestion-unaware methods can lead to long flow completion times, known as the tail latency, resulting in extended training time. In this paper, we argue that packet loss tolerance methods can mitigate the tail latency issue without sacrificing training accuracy, with the tolerance bound varying across different DDL model layers. We introduce PLOT, a fine-grained packet loss tolerance algorithm, which optimizes communication overhead by leveraging the layer-specific loss tolerance of the DNN model. PLOT employs a UDP-based transmission mechanism for gradient transfer, addressing the tail latency issue and maintaining training accuracy through packet loss tolerance. Our evaluations on both small-scale testbeds and large-scale simulations show that PLOT outperforms other congestion algorithms, effectively reducing tail latency and DDL training time.","PeriodicalId":13423,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management","volume":"21 6","pages":"6112-6125"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detecting such attacks, especially in high-performance networks, is challenging considering the detection rate, reaction time, and scalability. Attack detection becomes even more demanding concerning networks of the future facing increasing data rates and flow counts. We thoroughly evaluate eMinD, an approach that scales well to high data rates and large amounts of data flows. eMinD investigates aggregated traffic data, i.e., it is not based on micro-flows and their inherent scalability problems. We evaluate eMinD with real-world traffic data, compare it to related work, and show that eMinD outperforms micro-flow-based approaches regarding the reaction time, scalability, and the detection performance. We reduce required state space by 99.97%. The average reaction time is reduced by 90%, while the detection performance is even increased, although highly aggregating arriving traffic. We further show the importance of micro-flow-overarching traffic features, e.g., IP address and port distributions, for detecting distributed network attacks, i.e., DDoS attacks and port scans.","PeriodicalId":13423,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management","volume":"21 6","pages":"5947-5957"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
