    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.84, No.1, pp. 607-624, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.063206 - 09 June 2025

    Abstract The 3GPP standard defines the requirements for next-generation wireless networks, with particular attention to Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), critical for applications such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this context, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has emerged as a promising technique to improve spectrum efficiency and user fairness by allowing multiple users to share the same frequency resources. However, optimizing key parameters–such as beamforming, rate allocation, and UAV trajectory–presents significant challenges due to the nonconvex nature of the problem, especially under stringent URLLC constraints. This paper proposes an advanced deep learning-driven approach to address the resulting… More >

    Abstract As Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology continues to advance, edge computing has become an important tool for assisting vehicles in handling complex tasks. However, the process of offloading tasks to edge servers may expose vehicles to malicious external attacks, resulting in information loss or even tampering, thereby creating serious security vulnerabilities. Blockchain technology can maintain a shared ledger among servers. In the Raft consensus mechanism, as long as more than half of the nodes remain operational, the system will not collapse, effectively maintaining the system’s robustness and security. To protect vehicle information, we propose a… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.82, No.3, pp. 3965-3981, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.059966 - 06 March 2025

    Abstract Designing fast and accurate neural networks is becoming essential in various vision tasks. Recently, the use of attention mechanisms has increased, aimed at enhancing the vision task performance by selectively focusing on relevant parts of the input. In this paper, we concentrate on squeeze-and-excitation (SE)-based channel attention, considering the trade-off between latency and accuracy. We propose a variation of the SE module, called squeeze-and-excitation with layer normalization (SELN), in which layer normalization (LN) replaces the sigmoid activation function. This approach reduces the vanishing gradient problem while enhancing feature diversity and discriminability of channel attention. In… More >

    Abstract Software-Defined Networking (SDN), with segregated data and control planes, provides faster data routing, stability, and enhanced quality metrics, such as throughput (Th), maximum available bandwidth (Bd(max)), data transfer (DTransfer), and reduction in end-to-end delay (D(E-E)). This paper explores the critical work of deploying SDN in large­scale Data Center Networks (DCNs) to enhance its Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, using logically distributed control configurations. There is a noticeable increase in Delay(E-E) when adopting SDN with a unified (single) control structure in big DCNs to handle Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests causing a reduction in network quality parameters (Bd(max), Th, DTransfer, D(E-E),… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract In current research on task offloading and resource scheduling in vehicular networks, vehicles are commonly assumed to maintain constant speed or relatively stationary states, and the impact of speed variations on task offloading is often overlooked. It is frequently assumed that vehicles can be accurately modeled during actual motion processes. However, in vehicular dynamic environments, both the tasks generated by the vehicles and the vehicles’ surroundings are constantly changing, making it difficult to achieve real-time modeling for actual dynamic vehicular network scenarios. Taking into account the actual dynamic vehicular scenarios, this paper considers the real-time… More >
