However, due to the stochastic nature of the wireless networks, it is important to take optimal actions under different conditions such that the user experience is enhanced and congestion on heavy-loaded radio access technologies (RATs) is reduced by offloading data through lower loaded RATs. Since artificial intelligence (AI)-based techniques can learn optimal actions and adapt to different conditions, in this work, we develop an AI-enabled Q-agent for making data offloading decisions in a multi-RAT wireless network. We employ a model-free Q-learning algorithm for training of the Q-agent. We use stochastic geometry as a tool for estimating the average data rate offered by the network in a given region by considering the effect of interference. We use the Markov process for modeling users’ mobility, that is, estimating the probability that a user is currently located in a region given its previous location. The user equipment (UE) plays the role of a Q-agent responsible for taking sequence of actions such that the long-term discounted cost for using network service is minimized. Q-agent performance has been evaluated and compared with the existing data offloading policies. The results suggest that the existing policies offer the best performance under specific situations. However, the Q-agent has learned to take near-optimal actions under different conditions. Thus, the Q-agent offers performance which is close to the best under different conditions.","PeriodicalId":45621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Networks and Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139599089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is necessary to perform various analytical methods for user’s accounts due to the high volume of banking data. This research works in the field of money laundering detection from real bank data. Banking data analysis is a complex process that involves information gathered from various sources, mainly in terms of personality, such as bills or bank account transactions which have qualitative characteristics such as the testimony of eyewitnesses. Operational or research activities can be greatly improved if supported by proprietary techniques and tools, due to the vast nature of this information. The application of data mining operations with the aim of discovering new knowledge of banking data with an intelligent approach is considered in this research. The approach of this research is to use the spiking neural network (SNN) with a group of sparks to detect money laundering, but due to the weakness in accurately identifying the characteristics of money laundering, the maximum entropy principle (MEP) method is also used. This approach will have a mapping from clustering and feature extraction to classification for accurate detection. Based on the analysis and simulation, it is observed that the proposed approach SNN-MFP has 87% accuracy and is 84.71% more functional than the classical method of using only the SNN. In this analysis, it is observed that in real banking data from Mellat Bank, Iran, in its third and fourth data, with a comprehensive analysis and reaching different outputs, there have been two money laundering cases.","PeriodicalId":45621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Networks and Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139132505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their reliance on a stable, continuous Internet connectivity reduces their overall reliability. Losing connectivity to the Internet, for many of these devices, translates to the cessation of even the most basic of functionalities (e.g., being able to turn on the light, even from within the house). A possible solution to this problem is to shift some functionalities done by cloud-based servers to the edge (e.g. the home router), but doing so conveniently would necessitate the ability to dynamically identify pairs of IoT devices (usually sensor-actuator pairs) that communicate (their associations), and the rewriting/rerouting of packets or messages between those devices. The first problem is also known as the association detection problem, and is where this paper makes a contribution. We describe a solution to the association detection problem using a modified Apriori algorithm and a method to create its input from network traffic, and then revise the solution to respond to fluctuating network conditions. The final design accurately discovers sensor-actuator pairs using a simple approach with low computational complexity, and with only the hardware addresses of monitored IoT devices as its starting knowledge.","PeriodicalId":45621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Networks and Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135992826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, HetNet control problems are difficult due to their intertier interference. Recently, the enhanced intercell interference coordination (eICIC) technology is introduced to offer several benefits, including a more equitable traffic load distribution across the macro and embedded small cells. In this paper, we design a new resource allocation scheme for the eICIC-based HetNet. Our proposed scheme is formulated as a joint cooperative game to handle conflicting requirements. By adopting the ideas of Kalai and Smorodinsky solution (KSS), multicriteria Kalai and Smorodinsky solution (MCKSS), and sequential Raiffa solution (SRS), we develop a hybrid control algorithm for an adaptive resource sharing between different base stations. To effectively adjust the eICIC fraction rates, the concepts of MCKSS and SRS are applied in an interactive manner. For mobile devices in the HetNet, the assigned resource is distributed by using the idea of KSS. The key insight of our algorithm is to translate the originally competitive problem into a hierarchical cooperative problem to reach a socially optimal outcome. The main novelty of our approach is its flexibility to reach a reciprocal consensus under dynamic HetNet environments. Exhaustive system simulations illustrate the performance gains along different dimensions, such as system throughput, device payoff, and fairness among devices. The superiority of our proposed scheme is fully demonstrated in comparison with three other existing eICIC control protocols.","PeriodicalId":45621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Networks and Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41924262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, devices interact with assets in the environment and transmit sensor readouts to applications that perform analytics. These applications typically reside on the network core and, in turn, process the readouts that trigger the transmission of actuation commands to the device. One important issue in these schemes is the nature of the communication channels. Most devices are wireless and therefore they are affected by the effects of signal multipath fading that results in application loss. More importantly, these impairments may cause actuation commands to be lost or to be critically delayed. In this context, several standard mechanisms have been proposed for the transmission of traffic from the application to the devices. They fall under two main architectural categories: (1) Representational State Transfer (REST) and (2) Event Driven Architecture (EDA). In this paper, we analyze two protocols associated with each of these two architectures by comparing them in order to assess their efficiency in IoT actuation solutions. This analysis leads to the development of a mathematical model that enables the dynamic selection of the right technology based on network impairments.","PeriodicalId":45621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Networks and Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78779145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixth-generation (6G) networks have received a lot of attention from the industry and academics as fifth-generation (5G) communications are being rolled out globally. With the proliferation of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), 6G networks will require ultra-reliable and low-latency communication. Routing protocols have a significant role in improving the performance of a network. Traditional routing techniques will have difficulty coping with the highly complex and dynamic 6G environments. Recently, machine learning (ML), a key component of artificial intelligence, is emerging as the key to managing complex and dynamic networks efficiently.
