However, resource limitations necessitate the transmission of endpoint-collected videos to servers for inference. To meet real-time requirements and ensure accurate inference, it is essential to adjust video configurations at the endpoint. Traditional methods rely on deterministic strategies, posing difficulties in adapting to dynamic networks and video content. Meanwhile, emerging learning-based schemes suffer from trial-and-error exploration mechanisms, resulting in a concerning long-tail effect on upload latency. In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight and robust configuration adaptation policy (LCA), which fuses heuristic and RL-based agents using multi-teacher knowledge distillation (MKD) theory. First, we propose a content-sensitive and bandwidth-adaptive RL agent and introduce a Lyapunov-based optimization agent for ensuring latency robustness. To leverage both agents’ strengths, we design a feature-guided multi-teacher distillation network to transfer their advantages to the student. The experimental results across two vision tasks (pose estimation and semantic segmentation) demonstrate that LCA significantly reduces transmission latency compared to prior work (average reduction of 47.11%-89.55%, 95-percentile reduction of 27.63%-88.78%) and computational overhead while maintaining comparable inference accuracy.","PeriodicalId":50389,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing","volume":"24 5","pages":"4466-4480"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 growth has led to challenges such as higher storage demands, downlink bandwidth stress, and transmission delays, particularly for real-time remote sensing image scene classification (RSISC). To address this, we propose a novel Satellite-Terrestrial Collaborative Scene Classification (STCSC) framework that integrates transmission and computation. The framework employs an attention-aware policy on the satellite, which adaptively determines the sequence of images and selection of image blocks for transmission, as well as these blocks’ sampling rates. This policy is based on image complexity and the real-time data transmission rate, prioritizing blocks crucial for downstream tasks. On the ground, a classification model processes the received image blocks, balancing classification accuracy and transmission delay. Moreover, we have developed a comprehensive simulation system to validate the performance of our framework, including simulations of the satellite, transmission, and ground modules. Simulation results demonstrate that our STCSC framework can reduce transmission delay by 76.6% while enhancing classification accuracy on the ground by 0.6%. Additionally, our attention-aware policy is compatible with any ground classification model.","PeriodicalId":50389,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing","volume":"24 5","pages":"4496-4509"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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, this practice introduces vulnerabilities to data confidentiality and integrity due to potential malicious network attacks, unreliable servers, and insecure communication channels. A robust mechanism that ensures anonymous authentication and key agreement is therefore imperative for safeguarding the authenticity of computing entities and securing data during transmission. Recently, Guo et al. proposed an anonymous authentication key agreement and group proof protocol specifically designed for wearable devices. This protocol, benefiting from the strengths of previous research, is designed to thwart a variety of cyber threats. However, inaccuracies in their protocol lead to issues with authenticity verification, ultimately preventing the establishment of secure session keys between communication entities. To address these design flaws, an improved ultra-lightweight protocol was proposed, employing cryptographic hash functions to ensure authentication and privacy during data transmission in wearable devices.

VEANET integrates advanced AI capabilities into vehicular systems to enhance autonomous operations and decision-making. Embodied agents, such as Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), are autonomous entities that can perceive their environment and take actions to achieve specific goals, actively interacting with the physical world. Embodied Agent Twins (EATs) are digital models of these embodied agents, with various Embodied Agent AI Twins (EAATs) for intelligent applications in cyberspace. In VEANETs, EAATs act as in-vehicle AI assistants to perform diverse tasks supporting autonomous driving using generative AI models. Due to limited onboard computational resources, AVs offload EAATs to nearby RoadSide Units (RSUs). However, the mobility of AVs and limited RSU coverage necessitates dynamic migrations of EAATs, posing challenges in selecting suitable RSUs under information asymmetry. To address this, we construct a multi-dimensional contract theoretical model between AVs and alternative RSUs. Considering that AVs may exhibit irrational behavior, we utilize prospect theory instead of expected utility theory to model the actual utilities of AVs. Finally, we employ a Generative Diffusion Model (GDM)-based algorithm to identify the optimal contract designs, thus enhancing the efficiency of EAAT migrations. Numerical results demonstrate the superior efficiency of the proposed GDM-based scheme in facilitating EAAT migrations compared with traditional deep reinforcement learning methods.","PeriodicalId":50389,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing","volume":"24 5","pages":"4573-4588"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While transformers offer powerful capabilities, their demanding computational requirements clash with the real-time and energy-efficient needs of edge-oriented human activity recognition. It is necessary to compress the transformer to reduce its memory consumption and accelerate the inference. In this paper, we investigated the binarization of a transformer-DeepViT for efficient human activity recognition. For feeding sensor signals into DeepViT, we first processed sensor signals to spectrograms by using wavelet transform. Then we applied three methods to binarize DeepViT and evaluated it on three public benchmark datasets for sensor-based human activity recognition. Compared to the full-precision DeepViT, the fully binarized one (Bi-DeepViT) reduced about 96.7% model size and 99% BOPs (Bit Operations) with only a little accuracy compromised. Furthermore, we explored the effects of binarizing various components and latent binarization of DeepViT to understand their impact on the model. We also validated the performance of Bi-DeepViTs on two wireless sensing datasets. The result shows that a certain partial binarization can improve the performance of DeepViT.

However, ensuring the quality of the sensing data submitted by mobile users (MUs) remains a complex and challenging problem. To address this challenge, an advanced method is needed to detect low-quality sensing data and identify malicious MUs that may disrupt the normal operations of an MCS system. Therefore, this article proposes a prediction- and reputation-based truth discovery (PRBTD) framework, which can separate low-quality data from high-quality data in sensing tasks. First, we apply a correlation-focused spatio-temporal Transformer network that learns from the historical sensing data and predicts the ground truth of the data submitted by MUs. However, due to the noise in historical data for training and the bursty values within sensing data, the prediction results can be inaccurate. To address this issue, we use the implications among the sensing data, which are learned from the prediction results but are stable and less affected by inaccurate predictions, to evaluate the quality of the data. Finally, we design a reputation-based truth discovery (TD) module for identifying low-quality data with their implications. Given the sensing data submitted by MUs, PRBTD can eliminate the data with heavy noise and identify malicious MUs with high accuracy. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the PRBTD method outperforms existing methods in terms of identification accuracy and data quality enhancement.","PeriodicalId":50389,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing","volume":"24 5","pages":"4451-4465"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, IoT devices are typically vulnerable to a range of malicious events. Therefore, IoT sensor's correct operation including resilience to failure is essential for sustained operations. Naturally, the state variables of time-series data can be changed, i.e., the data streams generated in these situations can be incorrect, incomplete or missing, and sparse presenting a significant challenge for real-time decision-making ability of AI models to make explainable and intelligent management and control decisions. In this paper, we aim to alleviate this fundamental problem to predict the missing and faulty reading correctly so that the decision-making ability of the AI models should not deteriorate in the presence of incorrect, missing, and highly imbalanced data sets. We use a novel approach using fuzzy-based information decomposition to recover the missed data values.

Existing models have overlooked the intricate relationships between features extracted during an encoding process of tasks. This paper presents a new graph attention inter-block (GAI) module to the encoder/ transmitter of a multi-task semantic communication system, which enriches the features for multiple tasks by embedding the intermediate outputs of encoding in the features, compared to the existing techniques. The key idea is that we interpret the outputs of the intermediate feature extraction blocks of the encoder as the nodes of a graph to capture the correlations of the intermediate features. Another important aspect is that we refine the node representation using a graph attention mechanism to extract the correlations and a multi-layer perceptron network to associate the node representations with different tasks. Consequently, the intermediate features are weighted and embedded into the features transmitted for executing multiple tasks at the receiver.

However, existing PbTA schemes confront critical drawbacks. Specifically, these schemes are vulnerable to perpetual secret leakage attacks (PSLA): an adversary perpetually compromises secrets of identity servers (e.g., secret key shares or credentials) to break security. Besides, they fail to achieve popular password collection, which is an effective means of enhancing system security. In this paper, we propose a secure PbTA scheme with popular password collection, dubbed AugSSO. In AugSSO, we conceive an efficient key renewal mechanism that allows identity servers to periodically update secret key shares in batches, and require storage of hardened password-derived public keys in credentials for user authentication, thereby resisting PSLA. We also present a popular password collection mechanism, where an aggregation server is introduced to identify popular passwords without disclosing unpopular ones.
