IoT (Internet of Things) gateways receive data from thousands of sensors and send it to the cloud, which runs intelligent services. However, collected data might have missing or anomalous values due to various reasons, such as network problems, damaged sensors, or security attacks. Missing and noisy data can affect future decision-making, so IoT gateways need to transmit consistent data to the cloud. This work proposes a method to impute missing data on IoT gateways based on neural network regression. We validate this method using six years of weather data from a station located in Rio de Janeiro, considering different percentages of missing data. The results show that the regression models have more than a 0.92 R-squared score and low errors when predicting sensor measurements. Furthermore, we show that the neural network implementation can run on IoT gateways due to its short execution time and low memory utilization. Finally, we show that a single model performs well even when 50% of the data is missing, highlighting the proposed approach's generality.
IoT(物联网)网关从数千个传感器接收数据并将其发送到运行智能服务的云。但是,由于网络问题、传感器损坏、安全攻击等各种原因,收集到的数据可能存在缺失值或异常值。数据缺失和噪声会影响未来的决策,因此物联网网关需要将一致的数据传输到云端。本文提出了一种基于神经网络回归的物联网网关缺失数据的估算方法。我们使用位于里约热内卢的一个气象站的六年天气数据验证了这种方法,考虑了不同的数据缺失百分比。结果表明,回归模型在预测传感器测量值时具有大于0.92的r平方分数和较低的误差。此外,我们证明了神经网络的实现可以在物联网网关上运行,因为它的执行时间短,内存利用率低。最后,我们表明,即使在丢失50%数据的情况下,单个模型也表现良好,突出了所提出方法的通用性。

To improve range, 802.11ad uses directional communication, the first step of which is to choose the best antenna configuration, or sector. We studied the sector selection behavior of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) 802.11ad equipment in an experimental Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication scenario. Analysis of the collected data revealed the following inefficiencies: (i) a large number of sector selection attempts that do not result in a sector change; and (ii) a “ping-pong” effect in which a node oscillates between two sectors. With this in mind we studied an alternative antenna sector selection scheme that uses spatially-indexed historical performance data to pick the statistically-best sector for any given geolocation. A trace-based analysis showed that such a strategy can potentially improve throughput by up to 60%, depending on location.
为了提高范围,802.11ad使用定向通信,其第一步是选择最佳的天线配置或扇区。我们研究了商用现货(COTS) 802.11ad设备在实验性车辆对基础设施(V2I)通信场景中的扇区选择行为。对收集到的数据的分析揭示了以下低效率:(i)大量的行业选择尝试并没有导致行业变化;(ii)一个节点在两个扇区之间振荡的“乒乓”效应。考虑到这一点,我们研究了另一种天线扇区选择方案,该方案使用空间索引的历史性能数据来为任何给定的地理位置选择统计上最好的扇区。基于跟踪的分析表明,根据位置的不同,这种策略可能会将吞吐量提高60%。

Vehicular networking enables a wide range of emerging Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (C-ITS) applications, from safety to traffic efficiency and infotainment. Many of these applications depend on the reliability and timeliness of status information periodically exchanged among vehicles on the same wireless communication channel. A major effort has been spent, especially by standardization bodies, to define congestion control algorithms for the vehicular networking environment. The picture is, however, more complex than simply controlling the load level on the channel, given the non-trivial interplay of delivery reliability, system throughput, and timeliness of updates. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive performance evaluation of the main state-of-the-art broadcast rate control algorithms from the point of view of channel load, utilization efficiency, and information freshness. We evaluate these algorithms in a realistic simulation environment and describe a centralized approach to define a bound on the performance. We show that controlling the congestion based on either channel load or information freshness only leads to sub-optimal performance.
车载网络实现了广泛的新兴合作智能交通系统(C-ITS)应用,从安全到交通效率和信息娱乐。这些应用程序中的许多依赖于车辆之间在同一无线通信信道上定期交换状态信息的可靠性和及时性。标准化机构已经花费了大量的精力来定义车辆网络环境的拥塞控制算法。然而,考虑到交付可靠性、系统吞吐量和更新及时性的重要相互作用,情况比简单地控制通道上的负载级别要复杂得多。在本文中,我们从频道负载、利用效率和信息新鲜度的角度对主要的最先进的广播速率控制算法进行了全面的性能评估。我们在真实的模拟环境中评估了这些算法,并描述了一种集中的方法来定义性能的界限。我们表明,基于信道负载或信息新鲜度控制拥塞只会导致次优性能。

Mixed-Numerology Interference-Aware Spectrum Allocation for eMBB and URLLC Network Slices eMBB和URLLC网络片的混合数字干扰感知频谱分配

5G RAN slicing makes it possible to simultaneously support enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) services characterized by different numerologies over a shared radio physical layer. However, the inter-numerology interference (INI) generated by the multiplexing of spectrum slices having heterogeneous subcarrier spacing can hinder the service provisioning performance of both slices. In this context, we propose a spectrum allocation scheme capable of meeting the eMBB and URLLC service requirements while also mitigating the INI affecting each user. To overcome the computational complexity of the optimization problem, we design an INI-aware agent, based on Branching Dueling Q-networks (BDQ), which allocates a suitable number of spectrum resources to each user in order to satisfy the service requirements. In addition, we boost the agent learning efficiency by designing an action masking module that removes unfeasible actions. We compare the agent performance to state-of-the-art resource allocation algorithms that do not account for the INI. Results reveal that the proposed agent outperforms the considered benchmark schemes by ensuring a higher eMBB user data rate and, at the same time, a lower URLLC user delay.
5G RAN切片使得在共享无线电物理层上同时支持增强型移动宽带(eMBB)和以不同数字为特征的超可靠低延迟通信(URLLC)服务成为可能。然而,由具有异构子载波间隔的频谱片复用产生的数字间干扰(INI)会阻碍两个频谱片的业务提供性能。在这种情况下,我们提出了一种能够满足eMBB和URLLC服务需求的频谱分配方案,同时也减轻了INI对每个用户的影响。为了克服优化问题的计算复杂性,我们设计了一个基于分支决斗q网络(BDQ)的智能体,该智能体为每个用户分配适当数量的频谱资源,以满足业务需求。此外,我们通过设计动作屏蔽模块来去除不可行的动作,从而提高了智能体的学习效率。我们将代理性能与不考虑INI的最先进的资源分配算法进行比较。结果表明,通过确保更高的eMBB用户数据速率和更低的URLLC用户延迟,所提出的代理优于所考虑的基准方案。

The cognitive radio network paradigm increases spectrum usage efficiency by allowing secondary users to perform shared access to licensed spectrum. This systematic improvement may be obtained in a practical way by implementing a distributed cooperative spectrum sensing mechanism. Although such decentralized sensing offers many advantages, it also opens the door to new security threats such as spectrum sensing data falsification attacks. In this work, we design a new mechanism that exploits sensing correlation through the concept of reputation to enhance resilience against this type of threat. By both theoretical analysis and simulations, we show that our proposal provides incentives for cooperation among honest devices and reduces the spectrum occupancy assessment error rate in the presence of malicious users.

With the growth of the internet, current transport protocols are being re-evaluated to deal with traffic growth. QUIC is an evolving transport-layer protocol that has been developed to reduce Web latency, integrate security features, and enable a high-quality experience for mobile users. However, few systematic experimental studies have been carried out to evaluate users' service in a realistic mobile environment. In this work, we describe the design of experiments with QUIC and HTTP/3, which is based on QUIC, also considering benchmarks and variants in QUIC's implementations. We report our measurements collected from real mobile networks with the pan-European MONROE platform. Using data from the application, transport, and network layers in different wireless environments, we experimentally investigate and compare the performance of QUIC and HTTP/3 for static and mobile cellular users of several networks across Europe. Initial results show that QUIC-based operations are advantageous in case of users that move, and they are also strongly affected by the congestion control algorithm chosen for QUIC.

In this paper, we consider integrating VLC and WiFi technologies in a scenario in which Light-Emitting-Diodes (LEDs), acting as network access points (APs) for ultra-dense Internet of Things applications, are deployed into an indoor lighting infrastructure. In such a scenario, RF-links can be exploited for complementing VLC-links in dealing with mobility and bidirectional communications, which can be problematic due to the limited coverage areas and self-generated interference of VLC APs. In particular, we consider the possibility of supporting a technology-based duplexing scheme, in which downlink and uplink transmissions are performed by means, respectively, of VLC and WiFi interfaces integrated into the same node. In order to fully exploit the VLC bandwidth in the presence of background WiFi traffic and multiple coexisting VLC links, we discuss the importance of adopting a prioritization mechanism based on EDCA, as well as frame aggregation, for the uplink channel of the integrated architecture. Our considerations are corroborated by numerical results based on NS-3 simulations and a real simple experiment.
在本文中,我们考虑将VLC和WiFi技术集成到一个场景中,其中发光二极管(led)作为超密集物联网应用的网络接入点(ap)部署到室内照明基础设施中。在这种情况下,rf链路可以用来补充VLC链路,以处理移动性和双向通信,这可能是由于有限的覆盖区域和VLC ap的自产生干扰而产生的问题。特别是,我们考虑了支持基于技术的双工方案的可能性,在该方案中,下行和上行传输分别通过集成在同一节点中的VLC和WiFi接口进行。为了在存在后台WiFi流量和多个VLC链路共存的情况下充分利用VLC带宽,我们讨论了在集成架构的上行信道中采用基于EDCA的优先级机制和帧聚合的重要性。基于NS-3模拟和实际简单实验的数值结果证实了我们的考虑。

The Network Slicing (NS) paradigm is one of the pillars of the future 5G networks and is gathering great attention from both industry and scientific communities. In a NS scenario, physical and virtual resources are partitioned among multiple logical networks, named slices, with specific characteristics. The challenge consists in finding efficient strategies to dynamically allocate the network resources among the different slices according to the user requirements. In this paper, we tackle the target problem by exploiting a Deep Reinforcement Learning approach. Our framework is based on a distributed architecture, where multiple agents cooperate towards a common goal. The agent training is carried out following the Advantage Actor Critic algorithm, which makes it possible to handle continuous action spaces. By means of extensive simulations, we show that our strategy yields better performance than an efficient empirical algorithm, while ensuring high adaptability to different scenarios without the need for additional training.
网络切片(NS)范式是未来5G网络的支柱之一,正受到工业界和科学界的高度关注。在NS场景中,物理资源和虚拟资源被划分在多个逻辑网络中,这些逻辑网络被称为片,具有特定的特征。挑战在于找到有效的策略来根据用户需求在不同的片之间动态分配网络资源。在本文中,我们通过利用深度强化学习方法来解决目标问题。我们的框架基于分布式体系结构,其中多个代理协作实现共同目标。智能体的训练遵循了优势Actor批评家算法,使得处理连续动作空间成为可能。通过大量的模拟,我们证明了我们的策略比有效的经验算法产生更好的性能,同时确保了对不同场景的高适应性,而无需额外的训练。

The challenge consists in finding efficient strategies to dynamically allocate the network resources among the different slices according to the user requirements. In this paper, we tackle the target problem by exploiting a Deep Reinforcement Learning approach. Our framework is based on a distributed architecture, where multiple agents cooperate towards a common goal. The agent training is carried out following the Advantage Actor Critic algorithm, which makes it possible to handle continuous action spaces. By means of extensive simulations, we show that our strategy yields better performance than an efficient empirical algorithm, while ensuring high adaptability to different scenarios without the need for additional training.","PeriodicalId":272937,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th Mediterranean Communication and Computer Networking Conference (MedComNet)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129073116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sketches have emerged as a powerful tool for network traffic monitoring due to the good trade-off between accuracy and memory footprint offered by such techniques. Yet, implementing sketches on commercial switches raises numerous challenges related to availability of memory and its access frequency. Recently, disaggregated sketches, i.e., fragments of single network-wide sketches distributed across multiple switches, were introduced to cope with these limitations. However, none of the current approaches exploit any knowledge about the network traffic patterns when deploying such schemes. In this paper, we investigate the impact of traffic patterns on the performance of disaggregated sketches. Our findings show that blindly updating all fragments of a sketch might degrade the monitoring accuracy. Instead, taking into account the spatial distribution of the traffic may lead to globally better monitoring accuracy. Finally, we provide hints on the existence of an optimal solution for such a problem which opens new opportunities for the design of traffic-aware update policies for sketches.
草图已经成为一种强大的网络流量监控工具,因为这种技术在准确性和内存占用之间取得了很好的平衡。然而,在商用交换机上实现草图提出了许多与存储器可用性及其访问频率相关的挑战。最近,为了应对这些限制,引入了分解草图,即分布在多个交换机上的单个全网草图的片段。然而,在部署这种方案时,目前的方法都没有利用任何关于网络流量模式的知识。在本文中,我们研究了交通模式对分解草图性能的影响。我们的研究结果表明,盲目地更新草图的所有片段可能会降低监测的准确性。相反,考虑交通的空间分布可能会提高全球监测的准确性。最后,我们提供了关于该问题存在最优解的提示,这为设计交通感知的草图更新策略提供了新的机会。
