In this scheme, the harmonic effect of the TVM was used to transform the received single-channel signal into a multichannel signal through an orthogonal Fourier coefficient matrix. After achieving multi-channel DOA estimation, the corresponding weighted beam pointing was designed for signal separation. By applying a periodic modulation function on the TVM to modulate the incident signal, the signal was mapped to a multi-dimensional received space to recover the multi-channel received signal. Thus, conventional multi-channel algorithms could be used on the single-channel signal for DOA estimation. Next, we designed a sub-surface weighted beam pointing to maximize the received signal signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. Simulation results revealed that the proposed scheme of DOA estimation can exhibit performances comparable to that of the conventional multichannel antenna array. Moreover, the signal separation scheme designed based on this method was robust and could maintain good signal separation ability under a low signal-to-noise ratio.","PeriodicalId":54864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Networks","volume":"26 6","pages":"689-698"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10834481","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ICPS promises to revolutionize industries by fusing physical systems with computational functionality. However, this potential increase in ICPS makes them prone to cyber threats, necessitating effective intrusion detection systems (IDS) systems. Privacy provision, system complexity, and system scalability are major challenges in IDS research. We present FedSecureIDS, a novel lightweight federated deep intrusion detection system that combines CNNs, LSTMs, MLPs, and federated learning (FL) to overcome these challenges. FedSecureIDS solves major security issues, namely eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks, by employing a simple protocol for symmetric session key exchange and mutual authentication. Our Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective with an accuracy of 98.68%, precision of 98.78%, recall of 98.64%, and an F1-score of 99.05% with different edge devices. The model is similarly performed in conventional centralized IDS models. We also carry out formal security evaluations to confirm the resistance of the proposed framework to known attacks and provisioning of high data privacy and security.","PeriodicalId":54864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Networks","volume":"26 6","pages":"632-649"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10834496","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing research has shown that the combination of deep learning and communication technology is expected to break some performance bottlenecks of traditional communication algorithms and solutions. This paper explores the application of deep learning (DL) in polar decoding algorithms, proposing a DL-aided-FSC (DL-FSC) polar code decoder algorithm. For the DL-FSC decoding algorithm, the conventional successive cancellation (SC) decoder is partitioned into multiple sub-blocks, which are replaced by R0 nodes, R1 nodes and sub-DL decoder. The log-likelihood ratio (LLR) and frozen bit pattern are input to the sub-DL decoder to predict decode codewords under any decoding code rate. Through simulation verification, under the PBCH channel of 5G communication, the DL-FSC decoder achieves similar block error rate (BLER) performance to the SC decoder, even improving by about 1%. In order to verify the performance optimization effect of the proposed algorithm at the hardware level, the DL-FSC deocder circuit design was completed. Through FPGA synthesis, the proposed decoder achieves a throughput of about 4571 Mbps, which is 1.71× improvement in decoding throughput at the expense of increased logic resources.","PeriodicalId":54864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Networks","volume":"26 6","pages":"593-602"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10834493","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, this approach defines an intelligent UAV-MEC system capable of significantly improving service quality and deployment flexibility. The focus is on a UAV-MEC network consisting of multiple elementary service areas, where DTs efficiently orchestrate and reduce congestion levels by utilizing UAVs with onboard processing capabilities. A potential architecture for the DTs is outlined, conceptualizing each DT as a collection of basic cyber entities. Additionally, a suitable framework utilizing a matching game approach is proposed to effectively manage task offloading, channel allocation, and the dynamic assignment of UAV support to congested service zones within the same area. Finally, comprehensive simulation results validate the efficacy of the proposed intelligent UAV-MEC system, as indicated by metrics such as task completion delay and accuracy in congestion prediction.","PeriodicalId":54864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Networks","volume":"26 6","pages":"666-678"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10759571","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142937882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is even more crucial in the case of massive MIMO, since the number of PN sources may increase considerably. In this work, we propose an iterative receiver based on the application of the expectation-maximization algorithm. We consider a massive MIMO framework with a general association of oscillators to antennas, and include other channel disturbances like imperfect channel state information and Rician block fading. At each receiver iteration, given the information on the transmitted symbols, steepest descent is used to estimate the PN samples, with an optimized adaptive step size and a threshold-based stopping rule. The results obtained for several test cases show how the bit error rate and mean square error can benefit from the proposed phase-detection algorithm, even to the point of reaching the same performance as in the case where no PN is present, offering better results than a state-of-the-art alternative. Further analysis of the results allow to draw some useful trade-offs respecting final performance and consumption of resources.","PeriodicalId":54864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Networks","volume":"26 6","pages":"603-616"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10759570","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The in-band full-duplex (IBFD) system can be a possible solution to support high data transmission while increasing spectrum efficiency. Since IBFD has a self-interference issue, one of the significant factors that deteriorate its performance, we need to investigate possible solutions to resolve this matter. In this paper, we present an improved self-interference cancellation receiver with successive interference cancellation (SIC)-based channel estimation for the IBFD system. Since SIC aims to mitigate the multiple interference effects, our proposed algorithm applied SIC to the channel estimation for the performance gain.
