Abstract The 6th generation mobile networks (6G) network is a kind of multi-network interconnection and multi-scenario coexistence network, where multiple network domains break the original fixed boundaries to form connections and convergence. In this paper, with the optimization objective of maximizing network utility while ensuring flows performance-centric weighted fairness, this paper designs a reinforcement learning-based cloud-edge autonomous multi-domain data center network architecture that achieves single-domain autonomy and multi-domain collaboration. Due to the conflict between the utility of different flows, the bandwidth fairness allocation problem for various types of flows is formulated by considering different defined reward functions. Regarding the tradeoff between… More >

Abstract Cloud storage and edge computing are utilized to address the storage and computational challenges arising from the exponential data growth in IoT. However, data privacy is potentially risky when data is outsourced to cloud servers or edge services. While data encryption ensures data confidentiality, it can impede data sharing and retrieval. Attribute-based searchable encryption (ABSE) is proposed as an effective technique for enhancing data security and privacy. Nevertheless, ABSE has its limitations, such as single attribute authorization failure, privacy leakage during the search process, and high decryption overhead. This paper presents a novel approach called the blockchain-assisted efficient multi-authority attribute-based… More >

Abstract Nowadays, the rapid development of edge computing has driven an increasing number of deep learning applications deployed at the edge of the network, such as pedestrian and vehicle detection, to provide efficient intelligent services to mobile users. However, as the accuracy requirements continue to increase, the components of deep learning models for pedestrian and vehicle detection, such as YOLOv4, become more sophisticated and the computing resources required for model training are increasing dramatically, which in turn leads to significant challenges in achieving effective deployment on resource-constrained edge devices while ensuring the high accuracy performance. For addressing this challenge, a cloud-edge… More >

Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) enables the separation of control and data planes, allowing for centralized control and management of the network. Without adequate access control methods, the risk of unauthorized access to the network and its resources increases significantly. This can result in various security breaches. In addition, if authorized devices are attacked or controlled by hackers, they may turn into malicious devices, which can cause severe damage to the network if their abnormal behaviour goes undetected and their access privileges are not promptly restricted. To solve those problems, an anomaly detection and access control mechanism based on SDN and neural… More >

Abstract With the rapid development and popularization of 5G and the Internet of Things, a number of new applications have emerged, such as driverless cars. Most of these applications are time-delay sensitive, and some deficiencies were found during data processing through the cloud centric architecture. The data generated by terminals at the edge of the network is an urgent problem to be solved at present. In 5 g environments, edge computing can better meet the needs of low delay and wide connection applications, and support the fast request of terminal users. However, edge computing only has the edge layer computing advantage, and… More >
