However, the fog cloud servers suffer from unreliable and non-secure routing and limited power resources when mobile users are mobile. This paper introduces a scalable framework (SFRRDC) for reliable wireless routing and secure data transfer. We aim to address security and reliability issues by combining pheromone termite (PT) characteristics and ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms for high-performance, more secure, highly reliable data transfer among the fog cloud servers. For that, the proposed SFRRDC supports a user authentication mining (UAM) algorithm to secure the confidentiality of the users. Based on testing results, it is confirmed that the proposed SFRRDC provides a better solution for confidentiality and fast routing for a wireless telecommunication system. The results show that the proposed SFRRDC framework's energy consumption outperforms competing frameworks' energy consumption with a better-achieved latency. For example, the suggested SFRRDC method uses 748.5 J during 72 h of operation, competing frameworks use more energy, and DDFQFR uses 976.22 J. It also shows that the proposed SFRRDC is immune to malicious attacks. The results show that with 3600 Fog cloud users, the proposed HEE protocol reduces the number of attacks to only 48 compared to 58, 72, and 77415 expected malicious attacks when using the ICDRP-F-SDVN, ACO, and DDFQFR frameworks, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 101408"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143143860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to create an efficient system that eliminates manual vehicle registration and optimizes space utilization. ANPR and IoT-based sensors help users identify the available slots and pay only for the actual parking duration, which will help to minimize the fixed billing rates.

This paper presents a novel Pneumonia disease detection model by analyzing the chest X-ray data. The development of robust diagnostic tools faces a critical challenge: the lack of access to large, labeled training datasets. This challenge arises because of privacy concerns about medical data. This research proposes a solution that tackles both data scarcity and privacy concerns. It leverages an unsupervised learning model trained on decentralized datasets. The unsupervised learning approach used is an Autoencoder neural network, and the decentralized learning technique used for model training is Federated Learning. The proposed approach trains the model on data residing at multiple locations, such as healthcare institutions, without compromising patient privacy.
