The light-emitting diode (LED) as a carrier transmits signals, and we investigate the interference effect. The interference effect challenge is a result of unaligned signal power parameters, thereby producing noise or echo during the signal transmission. The signal power parameters are successfully aligned, and NOMA techniques are deployed, which improves the signal performance in terms of bit-error rate (BER), achieved data rate, and signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR). Furthermore, the deployed NOMA techniques, such as power allocations (PA) to assign the signals appropriately, then superposition coding (SC) encodes the entire signal, and successive interference cancellation (SIC) cancels the interference within the signals. The signal behavior of the aligned and the unaligned signal power parameters performance are used to investigate the interference effect. We observed that unaligned signal power parameters reduce the signal performance of achieved data rate, BER, and SINR. Further, the aligned signal power parameter with NOMA techniques improves the signal performance. Moreover, in the aligned signal power scenario of NOMA, the near user performed better than the far user.</p>","PeriodicalId":55001,"journal":{"name":"IET Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cmu2.12812","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Among CPM signals, multi-h CPM is particularly noteworthy for its ability to address these constraints within the realm of single-carrier and constant-envelope waveforms. At the physical layer, the design of a multi-h CPM receiver necessitates the efficient implementation of timing and frequency synchronization algorithm within a high dynamic environment. So this paper presents an innovative approach for achieving timing and frequency synchronization. To rectify timing offset and mitigate the adverse effects of noise in received signals, a re-configurable local filter generation method is integrated into the timing synchronization algorithm. Simultaneously, an enhanced least mean square adaptive filter algorithm is applied to address frequency synchronization. A comprehensive series of simulations rigorously evaluates the outcomes of proposed novel synchronization methodology. These analyses demonstrate a notable proximity between the synchronization errors of proposed algorithm in this paper and the performance benchmark set by the modified Cramer–Rao bound. The proposed synchronization technology also exhibits the capability to substantially reduce the bit error rate, thereby effectively enhancing demodulation performance in multi-h CPM receivers.</p>","PeriodicalId":55001,"journal":{"name":"IET Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cmu2.12809","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Here, a user association and power management algorithm is presented that follows a heuristic approach and aims to maximize EE while satisfying other network requirements. The proposed algorithm associates users based on criteria that consider the users’ EE and minimizes energy consumption by intermittently switching into sleep mode base stations with the highest impact on overall network EE. The performance of this solution is evaluated in a realistic multi-cell two-tier scenario considering both co-tier and cross-tier interference by comparing it with two other solutions: a heuristic approach based on standardized eICIC, and an optimization approach based on Lagrangian dual decomposition.

As a result, the study of turbo compiled code structures has been a focal point for researchers. The iterative decoding of turbo code structures has multiple limitations and large storage resource consumption, leading to poor system anti-interference ability and a rapid increase in BER. To address these issues, this paper proposes the mimic turbo compiled code structure (MTCCS) for wireless communication systems. MTCCS is based on the DHR idea, incorporating dynamic, heterogeneous, and redundancy characteristics. Dynamicity is achieved through a dynamic scheduling algorithm based on abnormal feedback information. Heterogeneity is achieved through a codec component collection design method based on intrinsic and extrinsic heterogeneity. Redundancy is achieved through a majority voting algorithm. At the beginning of information transmission, MTCCS randomly selects heterogeneous codecs from the heterogeneous codec collection to enter the runtime pool. After the information transmission is complete, the majority voting algorithm is used to adjudicate the multi-mode output of the codecs, resulting in a relatively accurate decoding outcome. Meanwhile, the dynamic scheduling module calculates the abnormal feedback information of each codec and accordingly dynamically schedules the mimic turbo codecs to replace the abnormal ones. Through the above process, MTCCS realizes the adaptive compilation code and improves the anti-interference ability of turbo code. Simulation experiments are conducted on MTCCS in both non-interference and interference scenarios. Simulation experiments show that MTCCS introducing the DHR idea achieves a balance between anti-interference and decoding performance. It effectively addresses the issue of poor anti-interference ability in turbo codes, and the decoding performance of MTCCS is superior to that of the previous single conventional turbo codes.</p>","PeriodicalId":55001,"journal":{"name":"IET Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cmu2.12818","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) emerge as pivotal solutions, playing a crucial role in detecting anomalous signals within network systems. To counter novel attack patterns, IDS systems require periodic rule updates for effective identification of unusual signals. Typically, these policies are updated based on rule-based or deep learning algorithms to enhance detection performance. However, the insufficient number of labeled samples remains a challenge for real-world deployment. In this article, an automated labeling method is presented that has shown high effectiveness, requiring minimal hardware resources, and applicable to IDS systems. Additionally, the approach utilizes transfer learning combined with attention mechanisms to boost the efficiency of abnormal signal detection. The results from the approach are compared with those of a reference model, illustrating an overall improvement of nearly 10% in our model's performance compared to the reference model. This underscores the effectiveness of automating rule adjustments for IDS, contributing significantly to reducing associated financial costs.

In this article, an SDWAN‐based policy for traffic management in IoT is introduced in which the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics such as end‐to‐end delay and bandwidth utilization are optimized. The proposed method implements the traffic management policy in the SDWAN controller. When the IoT traffic flows reach the SDWAN infrastructure network, graph search algorithms are performed to find the near‐optimal paths that affect the end‐to‐end delay of traffic flows. Because of the ability of deep learning to process complex data, a deep RNN model is used to predict the network state information, such as link latency and available bandwidth, before the traffic flows reach the infrastructure network. The proposed method consists of four key modules to predict the routes for future time intervals: (a) an SD‐WAN topology updater unit that checks the link changes and availability, (b) the network state information collector, which collects the network state information to create a dataset, (c) the learning unit, which trains a deep RNN model using the created dataset, and (d) the route predictor unit, which uses the trained model to predict the network state information using a heuristic algorithm to determine the routes. The simulation results showed that the deep RNN model can achieve high accuracy and low Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and the proposed method outperforms shortest‐path algorithms in terms of latency. At the same time, the available bandwidth is almost fairly distributed among all network links.","PeriodicalId":55001,"journal":{"name":"IET Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922066","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}
