Existing deep learning-based automatic modulation recognition techniques perform well with large datasets and high computational power but require significant resources for labelled data and complex pre-processing. This paper proposes a multi-information fusion method for few-shot modulation recognition, which involves converting <i>I</i>/<i>Q</i> signals into <i>A</i>/<i>P</i> signals and training with a combination of VGG and LSTM network models. An ensemble knowledge distillation (EKD) approach is employed to streamline the network model, meeting the demands for deploying neural network models on compact devices. Experimental results demonstrate that using only 1% of the shortwave modulation signal dataset as the training set, the proposed model achieves an average classification accuracy of 71.08% under all signal-to-noise ratios, surpassing the currently popular deep learning models. Moreover, two small-scale networks, MobileNetV3 and convolutional neural network are trained, through EKD. Compared to the teacher network, the floating-point operations of the distilled models are reduced by 99.8% and 99.7%, respectively, and the average prediction accuracy only decreases by 16.05% and 8.09%.

When a user is in motion transferring from one cell site to another, then the handover procedure becomes important in the sense that it ensures that a user gets consistent connection without interruption. Nevertheless, the classic handover process in cellular networks has some sort of drawback like causing service interruptions, affecting packet transmission, and increased latency which is highly uncongenial to the evolving applications which have stringent requirement to latency. To overcome these challenges and improve the mobile handover in 5G and future mobile networks, this article puts forth a predictive handover mechanism using reinforcement learning algorithm. The RL algorithm outperforms the ML algorithm in several aspects. Compared to ML, RL has a higher handover success rate (∼95% vs. ∼90%), lower latency (∼30 ms vs. ∼40 ms), reduced failure rate (∼5% vs. ∼10%), and shorter disconnection time (∼50 ms vs. ∼70 ms).

Large antenna arrays are used to counter the huge propagation loss suffered by the mmWave signals. Hybrid precoding in which precoding is performed in digital and analog domains is employed to reduce the number of costly and power-consuming radio frequency (RF) chains. Passive beamforming at RIS is designed together with precoder and combiner through joint optimization problem to minimize the mean square error between the transmit signal and the estimate of signal at the receiver. The optimization problem is solved by an iterative procedure in which solution to the non-convex reflecting coefficients design problem is approximated by extracting the phases of the solution to unconstrained problem without unit amplitude constraint of the reflecting elements.

The cornerstone of effectively addressing these challenges lies in the timely and precise detection capabilities offered by advanced intrusion detection systems (IDS). Hence, an innovative IDS framework is introduced that seamlessly integrates the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) with powerful machine learning algorithms—specifically Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and TwinSVM—enabling unparalleled real-time detection of DDoS attacks. This cutting-edge solution provides a robust and scalable IDS framework to combat DoS and DDoS threats with high efficiency, leveraging eBPF's capabilities within the Linux kernel to bypass typical user space constraints. The methodology encompasses several key steps: (a) Collection of data from the renowned CIC-IDS-2017 repository; (b) Processing the raw data through a meticulous series of steps, including transmission, cleaning, reduction, and discretization; (c) Utilizing an ANOVA F-test for the extraction of critical features from the preprocessed data; (d) Application of various ML algorithms (DT, RF, SVM, and TwinSVM) to analyze the extracted features for potential intrusion; (e) Implementing an eBPF program to capture network traffic and harness trained model parameters for efficient attack detection directly within the kernel. The experimental results reveal outstanding accuracy rates of 99.38%, 99.44%, 88.73%, and 93.82% for DT, RF, SVM, and TwinSVM, respectively, alongside remarkable precision values of 99.71%, 99.65%, 84.31%, and 98.49%. This high-speed, accurate detection model is ideally suited for high-traffic environments such as data centers.

Recent studies addressed this issue by using clustering analysis (CA) to uncover hidden patterns to provide AI models with clear interpretations.
