Techniques such as compressed spectrum sensing (CSS) and cooperative spectrum sensing (C-SS) are employed to address this challenge. C-SS enhances overall detection accuracy and reliability by enabling multiple nodes to share and combine their local sensing data. Conversely, CSS effectively reduces the required information for spectrum usage decision making, thereby improving bandwidth utilization. Integrating these two methods allows CRNs to utilize the spectrum reliably and efficiently, leading to increased spectral efficiency. To further improve reconstruction performance, we leverage the sparsity concept to transcend hardware constraints and merge restrictions from both real and synthesized channels. This approach involves the virtual synthesis of channels, which linearly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) within the network's size range. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed method offers significant advantages over single-node recovery, as validated by simulations and software defined radio (SDR) Implementation. The integration of spectral estimations from various local CR detectors enhances spatial diversity gain and sensing quality, particularly in fading channels.

This article evaluates the performance of the FSO system under inverse Gaussian gamma (IGG) fading. A novel closed-form equation for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is presented by employing an intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) scheme. The analytical expressions for various performance metrics such as outage probability (OP), amount of fading (AOF), and average bit error probability (ABEP) are derived for various digital modulation schemes based on the system's probability density function (PDF) and CDF. Additionally, this article presents an upper bound on OP and asymptotic analysis for the performance metrics to gain deeper insights. It is revealed that the small-scale eddy turbulence parameter can affect the diversity order by a factor of <i>β</i>/2. The results demonstrate that atmospheric turbulence considerably reduces the system's performance.

These malevolent entities enable a range of malicious activities, from denial of service (DoS) attacks to spam distribution and phishing. Each bot operates as a malicious binary code on vulnerable hosts, granting remote control to attackers who can harness the combined processing power of these compromised hosts for synchronized, highly destructive attacks while maintaining anonymity. This survey explores botnets and their evolution, covering aspects such as their life cycles, C&C models, botnet communication protocols, detection methods, the unique environments botnets operate in, and strategies to evade detection tools. It analyzes research challenges and future directions related to botnets, with a particular focus on evasion and detection techniques, including methods like encryption and the use of covert channels for detection and the reinforcement of botnets. By reviewing existing research, the survey provides a comprehensive overview of botnets, from their origins to their evolving tactics, and evaluates how botnets evade detection and how to counteract their activities. Its primary goal is to inform the research community about the changing landscape of botnets and the challenges in combating these threats, offering guidance on addressing security concerns effectively through the highlighting of evasion and detection methods. The survey concludes by presenting future research directions, including using encryption and covert channels for detection and strategies to strengthen botnets. This aims to guide researchers in developing more robust security measures to combat botnets effectively.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":23282,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies","volume":"35 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142524728","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}
