These transmissions impose stringent requirements on network communications, including reliable bounded latency and high throughput. To address these challenges, the integration of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile cellular networks and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has emerged as a prominent solution for scheduling diverse traffic flows. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have been widely employed to tackle scheduling issues within the 5G-TSN architecture, existing approaches often neglect throughput optimization in multi-user scenarios and the impact of Channel Quality Indicators (CQI) on resource allocation. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces ME-DDPG, a novel joint resource scheduling algorithm. ME-DDPG extends the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) model by embedding a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS)-based priority scheme. This improvement in computational efficiency is critical for real-time scheduling in IIoT environments. Specifically, ME-DDPG provides latency guarantees for time-triggered applications, ensures throughput for video applications, and maximizes overall system throughput across 5 G and TSN domains. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ME-DDPG achieves 100 % latency reliability for time-triggered flows and improves system throughput by 10.84 % over existing algorithms under varying Gate Control List (GCL) configurations and user ratios. Furthermore, due to the combination of MCS-based resource allocation scheme with DDPG model, the proposed ME-DDPG achieves faster convergence speed of the reward function compared to the original DDPG method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55555,"journal":{"name":"Ad Hoc Networks","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 103783"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143133747","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 paper introduces a novel approach that incorporates proposed trade-off parameters at the application layer to model the interplay between multiple QoS metrics, including Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), Maximum Goodput (MGP), and Energy Consumption (EC). Our approach utilizes a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model optimized using a custom Bayesian algorithm. The model employs a dynamic loss function called Weighted Error Squared (WES). It adapts dynamically to QoS statistical distributions through a scaling hyperparameter, enabling it to uncover intricate patterns specific to IEEE 802.15.4 networks. Empirical results from testing our model against a public dataset are compelling; we significantly improved prediction accuracy compared to baseline models, with R-squared values of 97%, 99%, 98%, and 93% for SNR, PDR, MGP, and EC, respectively. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in predicting network behavior. Additionally, this paper presents a conceptual operational design for implementing the model in diverse real-world scenarios, suggesting avenues for future practical applications.

Poor sensor placement can cause numerical instability in the coefficient matrix, which diminishes localization accuracy. To tackle this, we propose a two-stage localization approach based on the regularized constrained total least squares (RCTLS) method. First, we linearize the time delay and Doppler shift equations using azimuth and elevation angles, and apply a weighted least squares (WLS) method for an initial position estimation. Second, to mitigate the impact of ill-conditioned equations and measurement errors, we employ the RCTLS method for a more robust estimation, thus reducing localization error. Due to the unique characteristics of the underwater communications, the presence of errors in the sound speed and sensor position and velocity, as well as the sensor motion effect during the observation period are considered. We also derive the hybrid Cramer Rao lower bound (CRLB) as a benchmark to evaluate estimation performance.

The resilience of these systems necessitates considering factors during the high-level design stages to enable accurate functional forecasting and correctness. This paper presents an approach that models clock deviation’s effects within physical and environmental conditions to perform verification & validation in the context of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle domain (UAV). We employ the OMNeT++ simulation framework to define the system’s behavior in a components–port–connectors fashion. The approach leverages Probabilistic Decision Tree rules derived from the OMNeT++ simulation chart. The resulting rule-based model is then interpreted in the PRISM language for automated model verification. To validate our approach, we investigate how clock deviations influence the correctness of drone-aided lifting operations which is our primary focus, serving as a representative application scenario. The research examines clock deviations from multiple sources, including conformance to standard specifications, product manufacturing variations, operational failures, humidity, and operating temperature changes. Our examination explores the potential of validation through simulation and model checking while also studying the approach’s effectiveness through a sensitive analysis. Furthermore, the approach is demonstrated in the context of robot orchestration and water dam infrastructure for generalization purposes in Cyber–Physical Systems modeling.

To address this issue, existing research has introduced a variety of cryptographic techniques, mainly encompassing secure multi-party Computation (SMC), homomorphic encryption (HE), and differential privacy (DP). However, approaches reliant on HE and SMC do not provide sufficient protection for the model data itself and often lead to significant communication and computation overhead; exclusively employing DP necessitates the incorporation of substantial noise, which harms model performance. In this paper, we propose an efficient and privacy-preserving dual-key black-box aggregation method that uses Paillier threshold homomorphic encryption (TPHE), which ensures the protection of the model parameters during the transmission and aggregation phases via a two-step decryption process. To defend various data reconstruction attacks, we also achieve a node-level DP to effectively eliminate the possibility of recovering raw data from the aggregated parameters. Through experiments on MNIST, CIFAR-10, and SVHN, we have shown that our method has up to a 11% smaller reduction in model accuracy compared to other schemes. Furthermore, compared to SMC-based FL schemes, our scheme significantly reduces communication overhead from 60% to 80%, depending on the number of participating nodes.

Also, to conceal the original data points and mitigate the impact of model inversion attacks, a Differentially Privacy-based Perturbation (DPP) mechanism is proposed. To address potential poisoning attacks, a thorough verification protocol is suggested.
