Traditional spectrum management methods often rely on static or centralized techniques, limiting adaptability and efficiency in dynamic network environments. Additionally, these methods struggle to balance energy efficiency, latency, and spectrum utilization. To address limitations, this work proposes a novel Binarized Spiking Neural Network with Pyramid Attention Network (BSNN-PAN)-based spectrum allocation approach that integrates Pyramid Attention Networks (PANs) with binarized spiking neural networks (BSNNs). The approach employs Time-to-First-Spike (TTFS) coding to encode input spectrum data into spike trains, which are processed by binary Integrate-and-Fire (IF) neurons. PAN introduces attention weights to capture multiscale spatial and temporal dependencies, enhancing feature extraction and decision-making. The prairie dog optimization algorithm (PDOA) is applied to optimize hyperparameters such as weight, error, and loss, improving adaptability, efficiency, and resource allocation. The collaboration of the three significantly improves decision-making efficiency and security in dynamic environments, demonstrating the added value of their technological integration. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements, including 1.8-kJ energy consumption, 412-ms transaction latency, and 15-ms average channel allocation time.

To meet this requirement, this paper presents two compact MIMO antenna configurations based on microstrip line principles. Initially, a compact dual-band antenna is designed for 5G N77/N78/N79 sub-6-GHz applications. The introduction of an inverted L-shaped slot into the broadband radiating element enables the generation of two distinct resonances. Without the slot, the antenna covers a broad frequency range from 4.30 to 5.54 GHz. Upon slot insertion, it achieves dual-band operation across 3.3–3.78 GHz and 4.3–5.15 GHz. Subsequently, by integrating an additional inverted L-shaped slot on the opposite lateral side, a triple-band response is realized, covering 3.6–3.85 GHz, 4.75–5.05 GHz, and 5.3–7.5 GHz. Both antenna designs are fabricated on an FR-4 substrate (εᵣ = 4.4, tanδ = 0.025) with 1.6 mm thickness and a compact footprint of 23.3 × 29.125 mm² (0.37λ₀ × 0.46λ₀). The radiating structure possesses an inverted T-shaped geometry occupying (8 × 9.65) + (29.125 × 13.65) mm² that meets the requirements for modern space-limited devices. Furthermore, two compact two-port MIMO configurations (23.3 × 66.06 mm², or 0.37λ₀ × 1.04λ₀) are proposed, utilizing orthogonally placed dual-band and triple-band monopole elements. Electromagnetic simulation using Ansys HFSS confirms that the designs achieve excellent MIMO performance, including envelope correlation coefficients (ECC) below 0.0019 and 0.001, channel capacity loss (CCL) under 0.26 and 0.46 bits/s/Hz, peak gains of 4.9 and 5.1 dBi, and radiation efficiencies exceeding 94% and 85%, respectively, for MIMO antennas with dual-band and triple-band monopole antenna elements.

Nevertheless, unique vehicular network features, namely, high mobility as well as frequent communication interruptions, make content delivery to end users under strict delay constraints very problematic. The Taylor Flamingo Shark Optimization (TFSO) method is introduced to address the limitations of existing caching and routing strategies in VSN under real-time traffic conditions. With the amalgamation of FSA and WSO with the Taylor series, TFSO provides a powerful tool for accurate, delay-aware, and mobility-sensitive content caching, thereby improving content delivery efficiency in VSNs. The proposed optimization-based traffic-aware content caching is implemented using several stages. Initially, the shortest path with the vehicular content provider is found based on the proposed hybrid Flamingo Shark Optimization (FSO). The FSO is devised by using the Flamingo Search Algorithm (FSA) as well as White Shark Optimization (WSO). Subsequently, traffic-aware content recommendations are carried out based on conditional likelihood probability. Additionally, the vehicular distribution managed by the content provider is optimized across the network by using the proposed TFSO, which is devised using the proposed FSO along with the Taylor series concept. Moreover, the effectiveness of the developed TFSO approach is assessed by leveraging metrics including computational cost, delivery delay, and delivery rate. The computational cost recorded value is 1.057, which shows that the algorithm operates with low computational overhead; the delivery delay of TFSO is 0.611 s, which indicates that the system required less time to deliver content to end users in high-mobility scenarios; and the delivery rate is 85.996, which reflects the high success rate of content delivery across the network using 2000 rounds with 150 vehicles.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13946,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication Systems","volume":"38 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144687901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
