IoE applications in Industry 4.0 face many challenges, including energy efficiency, heterogeneity, security, interoperability, and centralization. Therefore, Industry 4.0 in Beyond the Sixth-Generation (6G) networks demands moving to sustainable, green IoE and identifying efficient and emerging technologies to overcome sustainability challenges.

The RIS, mounted on building surfaces, plays a vital role in preventing obstruction and improving the communication quality of the IoT-UAV transmission link. Our aim is to minimize the energy consumption of this system, including the transmission energy consumption of IoT devices and the hovering energy consumption of UAVs, by optimizing the deployment of UAVs and the phase shifts of RIS. To achieve this goal, a multi-UAV deployment and phase shift of RIS optimization algorithm (MUDPRA) is proposed that consists of two phases. In the first phase, a joint differential evolution (DE) algorithm with a two-layer structure featuring a variable population size, namely DEC-ADDE, is proposed to optimize the UAV deployment. Specifically, each UAV’s location is encoded as an individual, with the whole UAV deployment is considered as the population in DEC-ADDE. Thus, a differential evolution clustering (DEC) algorithm is employed initially to initialize the population, which allows for obtaining better initial UAV deployment without the need for a predefined number of UAVs. Subsequently, an adaptive and dynamic DE algorithm (ADDE) is employed to produce offspring population to further optimize UAV deployment. Finally, an adaptive updating strategy is adopted to adjust the population size to optimize the number of UAVs. In the second phase, a low-complexity method is proposed to optimize the phase shift of RIS with the aim of enhancing the IoT-UAV data transmission rate. Experimental results conducted on eight instances involving IoT devices ranging from 60 to 200 demonstrate the effectiveness of MUDPRA in minimizing energy consumption of this system compared to six alternative algorithms and three benchmark systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55555,"journal":{"name":"Ad Hoc Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142096629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The characteristics of UAV systems introduce new threats from which cyber attacks may benefit. Adaptive security solutions for UAVs are required to counter the growing threat surface. The security of UAV systems has therefore become one of the fastest growing research topics. Machine learning based security mechanisms have a potential to provide effective countermeasures that complement traditional security mechanisms. The main motivation of this survey is to the lack of a comprehensive literature review about reinforcement learning based security solutions for UAV systems. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review on the security of UAV systems focusing on deep-reinforcement learning-based security solutions. We present a general architecture of an UAV system that includes communication systems to show potential sources of vulnerabilities. Then, the threat surface of UAV systems is explored. We explain attacks on UAV systems according to the threats in a systematic way. In addition, we present countermeasures in the literature for each attack on UAVs. Furthermore, traditional defense mechanisms are explained to highlight requirements for reinforcement based security solutions on UAVs. Next, we present the main reinforcement algorithms. We examine security solutions with reinforcement learning algorithms and their limitations in a holistic approach. We also identify research challenges about reinforcement based security solutions on UAVs.

However, this revolutionary expansion led to a substantial increase in attack surface, raising many concerns about security threats and their possible consequences. Machine learning has significantly contributed to designing intrusion detection systems (IDS) but suffers from critical limitations such as data privacy and sovereignty, data imbalance, concept drift, and catastrophic forgetting. This collectively makes existing IDSs an improper choice for securing IoT environments. This paper presents a federated learning approach called FIDWATCH to continuously monitor and detect a broad range of IoT security threats. The local side of FIDWATCH introduces contrastive focal loss to enhance the ability of the local model (teacher) to discriminate between diverse types of IoT security threats while putting an increased emphasis on hard-to-classify samples. A fine-grained Knowledge Distillation (KD) is introduced to allow the client to distill the required teacher's knowledge into a lighter, more compact model termed the pupil model. This greatly assists the competence and flexibility of the model in resource-constrained scenarios. Furthermore, an adaptive incremental updating method is introduced in FIDWATCH to allow the global model to exploit the distilled knowledge and refine the shared dataset. This helps generate global anchors for improving the robustness of the mode against the distributional shift, thereby improving model alignment and compliance with the dynamics of IoT security threats. Proof-of-concept simulations are performed on data from two public datasets (BoT-IoT and ToN-IoT), demonstrating the superiority of FIDWATCH over cutting-edge performance with an average f1-score of 97.07% and 95.63%, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55555,"journal":{"name":"Ad Hoc Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142129049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wireless laser communication technology boasts advantages like high bandwidth and fast transmission, which is conducive to improving key generation rate. Additionally, the strong anti-interference of laser signal helps to reduce key disagreement rate. Moreover, the laser beam’s good directionality effectively decreases the risk of eavesdropping on key information. Given its advantages and a scarcity of research in this regard, this paper proposes a scheme of shared secret key extraction from atmospheric optical wireless channels with multi-scale information reconciliation. In the scheme, to increase the cross-correlation coefficient of signal samples at the two legitimate parties, a preprocessing algorithm is designed based on a denoising algorithm and a threshold-based outliers elimination algorithm, and the denoising algorithm is inspired by the Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDan); moreover, a multi-level quantization algorithm based on Equilibrium-Optimizer(EO) is developed to balance and optimize distribution of sample points in the sample space; furthermore, to simplify the process of and decrease the computational complexity of information reconciliation, a concept of a multi-scale information reconciliation is formed, on the basis of which three algorithms, B-MSIR, I-MSIR and C-MSIR, are formulated.

To this end, we introduce a novel NL metric addressing target-specific coverage requirements that remedies the shortcomings imposed by conventional definitions like <em>first node die</em> (FND) and <em>last node die</em> (LND). In this context, while we want targets to be sensed by multiple sensors for a portion of the network lifetime, we let the periods, during which cells are monitored by at least one sensor, vary. We also allow the ratios of multiple and single tracking times to differ depending on the target and incorporate target-based prioritization in coverage. Moreover, we address role assignment to sensors and propose a selective target-sensor assignment strategy. As such, we aim to reduce redundant data transmissions and hence overall energy consumption in WSNs. We first propose a unique 0-1 mixed integer programming (MIP) model, to analyze the impact of our proposal on optimal WSN performance, precisely.
