In the GESM-SPA, according to the number of active TAs, signal constellation points (CPs) from the QAM or secondary QAM constellations are allocated and then modulated on the corresponding active TAs with the selected antenna index (AI) vector. Through this design, which further exploits the spatial domain with the variability of active TAs, the squared MED between the TSVs is increased in comparison with the existing traditional systems. More specifically, in view of the disadvantage of the classic ESM system, the constellation groups (CGs) with priority given to the QAM CPs are constructed to further maximize the squared MED. Then, the AI vector subsets corresponding to the obtained CGs are designed to be candidate for the specified AI vector set with the AI information. The squared MED and the average bit error probability (BEP) are analyzed. In simulation results using Monte Carlo, the GESM-SPA outperforms the existing classic systems in terms of the bit error rate performance.","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141078914","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}

This domain addresses the emerging trends and potential synergies between nature-inspired computational approaches and IoT technologies for advancing healthcare services. Our research aims to fill gaps in addressing algorithmic integration challenges, real-world implementation issues, and the efficacy of nature-inspired algorithms in IoT-based healthcare. We provide insights into the practical aspects and limitations of such applications through a systematic literature review. Specifically, we address the need for a comprehensive understanding of the applications of nature-inspired algorithms in IoT-based healthcare, identifying gaps such as the lack of standardized evaluation metrics and studies on integration challenges and security considerations. By bridging these gaps, our paper offers insights and directions for future research in this domain, exploring the diverse landscape of nature-inspired algorithms in healthcare.

The rapid rise of OSN platforms such as Facebook and Twitter is sufficient evidence of such development. As one type of information, privacy information can also be created and disseminated over an OSN, posing a severe threat to individual privacy. This article attempts to construct a model for disseminating privacy information in OSNs and to analyze the model by simulating the dissemination process of privacy information in OSNs. First, we establish network models that exhibit the main characteristics of OSNs. Second, by considering the factors related to social relationships, especially intimacy between users and the attention of users to the privacy subject, we derive the parameters for privacy information dissemination models in OSNs. Third, based on the theory of information dissemination dynamics, we construct a model for information dissemination that conforms to the properties of privacy information. We also present some experimental results based on the constructed model and analyze the characteristics of privacy information dissemination. Fourth, we study and verify the various properties of the model through a set of experiments. The proposed model provides the opportunity to better understand the dynamics of privacy information dissemination in OSNs and the effect of user behavior on dissemination.","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141073766","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}

However, many different filter implementations in VLSI are dispersed among many studies. This study aims to give readers a systematic approach to designing a Pipelined All-Pass Transformation based Variable digital filter (PAPT-VDF) to eliminate the high-frequency noise from ECG data. The modified design emphasizes first- and second-order responses to obtain high-speed filter realization with high operating frequencies. The addition of adder and multiplier designs to the hardware architecture of a filter design improves performance. The fundamental blocks of the filter design are the adder and multiplier. The adder and multiplier are employed with an Adaptable stage size-based concatenation, incremented carry-skip adder (ASS-CICSKA), and Improved reconfigurable compressed Vedic multiplier (IRCVM). Utilizing the adder design diminishes the delay with enhanced performance because receiving the carry from an incrementation block is not mandatory. In the multiplier design, the compressor and the reconfigurable approach are adapted with a data detector block to detect the redundant input and lower the logic gates' switching activity with less area overhead. The proposed filter design is implemented in vertex 7 FPGA family device, and the performance measures are analyzed regarding area utilization, delay, power, and frequency. Also, by using the denoised signal, the mean square error (MSE), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are evaluated in the MATLAB platform.","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141069096","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}

Traditional key negotiation protocols create many problems when dealing with a group of vehicles that need to communicate over a public channel. For example, traditional key negotiation protocols rely too much on the participation of trusted institutions and suffer from a single point of failure. Meanwhile, group session key negotiation is usually inefficient with high computational cost and communication overhead. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a blockchain-based Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) VANET group key agreement. In addition, the protocol supports dynamic management of vehicles, including joining and exit. Formal security proofs show that our solution satisfies basic security requirements. Experiments using ProVerif show that the protocol functions properly even under many active and passive attacks, such as eavesdropping attacks. Performance analysis shows that the protocol is more efficient in the face of multi-vehicle communication, in particular by reducing the computational cost by up to 75% and the communication overhead by up to 66%.","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140949138","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}

Therefore, an effective method is needed to prevent and detect them. Current network covert timing channel detection methods often incorporate machine learning methods in order to achieve generalized detection, but they consume a large amount of computational resources. In this paper, we propose a generalized detection framework for covert channels based on perceptual hashing without relying on machine learning methods. And we propose a one-dimensional data feature descriptor for feature extraction of perceptual hash for the data characteristics of covert timing channels. We first generate the hash sequence of the corresponding channel to get the average hash, which is used for comparison in the test phase. The experimental results show that the feature descriptor can capture the feature differences of one-dimensional data well. When compared to machine learning methods, this perceptual hashing algorithms enable faster traffic detection. Meanwhile, our method is able to detect the effectiveness with the smallest coverage window compared with the latest solutions. Moreover, it exhibits robustness in jitter network environment.","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140895247","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}

VNF-based IoT MEC systems encounter a significant security threat due to unauthorized access, posing risks to data privacy and system integrity. Existing approaches struggle to adapt to dynamic environments and lack tamper-proof enforcement mechanisms. In this work, we propose a novel system combining Reinforcement Learning (RL) and blockchain technology to revoke unauthorized access in VNF-based IoT MEC. We introduce the Integrated Action-selection DRL Algorithm for Unauthorized Access Revocation (IASDRL-UAR), a novel RL approach that excels in dynamic environments by handling both continuous and discrete actions, enabling real-time optimization of security risk, execution time, and energy consumption. A behavior control contract (BCC) is proposed and integrated into the RL system, automating behavior checks and enforcement, streamlining security management, and reducing manual intervention. RL feedback plays a pivotal role in steering dynamic security adjustments, gaining valuable perspectives from user behavior via trust scores in the behavior contract. The security features of the proposed method are analyzed. Performance comparisons reveal a substantial improvement, with the proposed system outperforming existing methods by 30% in terms of throughput, 21.7% in system stability, and 26% in access revocation latency. Additionally, the system demonstrates a higher security index, energy efficiency, and scalability.","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140880941","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}

These systems utilize group domain of interpretation (GDOI) as designated by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) power utility standards IEC 61850 and IEC 62351. However, GDOI cannot protect against novel threats, such as IoT device-level attacks that can modify device firmware and configuration files to create command and control malicious communication. As a consequence, the attacks can compromise substations with potentially catastrophic consequences. With this in mind, this article proposes a permissioned/private blockchain-based authentication framework that provides a solution to current security threats such as the IoT device-level attacks. Our work improves the GDOI protocol applied in critical IoT applications by achieving decentralized and distributed device authentication. The security of our proposal is demonstrated against known attacks as well as through formal mechanisms via the joint use of the AVISPA and SPAN tools.
