Abstract This study presents an energy-efficient Internet of Things (IoT)-based wireless sensor network (WSN) framework for autonomous data validation in remote environmental monitoring. We address two critical challenges in WSNs: ensuring data reliability and optimizing energy consumption. Our novel approach integrates an artificial neural network (ANN)-based multi-fault detection algorithm with an energy-efficient IoT-WSN architecture. The proposed ANN model is designed to simultaneously detect multiple fault types, including spike faults, stuck-at faults, outliers, and out-of-range faults. We collected sensor data at 5-minute intervals over three months, using temperature and humidity sensors. The ANN was trained on 70%… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is integral to modern infrastructure, enabling connectivity among a wide range of devices from home automation to industrial control systems. With the exponential increase in data generated by these interconnected devices, robust anomaly detection mechanisms are essential. Anomaly detection in this dynamic environment necessitates methods that can accurately distinguish between normal and anomalous behavior by learning intricate patterns. This paper presents a novel approach utilizing generative adversarial networks (GANs) for anomaly detection in IoT systems. However, optimizing GANs involves tuning hyper-parameters such as learning rate, batch size, and optimization algorithms,… More >

Abstract Open networks and heterogeneous services in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) can lead to security and privacy challenges. One key requirement for such systems is the preservation of user privacy, ensuring a seamless experience in driving, navigation, and communication. These privacy needs are influenced by various factors, such as data collected at different intervals, trip durations, and user interactions. To address this, the paper proposes a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model designed to process large amounts of aggregated data and recommend privacy-preserving measures. The model analyzes data based on user demands and interactions with service More >

Abstract In recent years, task offloading and its scheduling optimization have emerged as widely discussed and significant topics. The multi-objective optimization problems inherent in this domain, particularly those related to resource allocation, have been extensively investigated. However, existing studies predominantly focus on matching suitable computational resources for task offloading requests, often overlooking the optimization of the task data transmission process. This inefficiency in data transmission leads to delays in the arrival of task data at computational nodes within the edge network, resulting in increased service times due to elevated network transmission latencies and idle computational resources.… More >

Abstract The rapid growth and pervasive presence of the Internet of Things (IoT) have led to an unparalleled increase in IoT devices, thereby intensifying worries over IoT security. Deep learning (DL)-based intrusion detection (ID) has emerged as a vital method for protecting IoT environments. To rectify the deficiencies of current detection methodologies, we proposed and developed an IoT cyberattacks detection system (IoT-CDS) based on DL models for detecting bot attacks in IoT networks. The DL models—long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent units (GRUs), and convolutional neural network-LSTM (CNN-LSTM) were suggested to detect and classify IoT attacks.… More >

Abstract Named Data Networking (NDN) has emerged as a promising communication paradigm, emphasizing content-centric access rather than location-based access. This model offers several advantages for Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) environments, including efficient content distribution, built-in security, and natural support for mobility and scalability. However, existing NDN-based IoHT systems face inefficiencies in their forwarding strategy, where identical Interest packets are forwarded across multiple nodes, causing broadcast storms, increased collisions, higher energy consumption, and delays. These issues negatively impact healthcare system performance, particularly for individuals with disabilities and chronic diseases requiring continuous monitoring. To address these challenges,… More >

Abstract The controller is a main component in the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) framework, which plays a significant role in enabling programmability and orchestration for 5G and next-generation networks. In SDN, frequent communication occurs between network switches and the controller, which manages and directs traffic flows. If the controller is not strategically placed within the network, this communication can experience increased delays, negatively affecting network performance. Specifically, an improperly placed controller can lead to higher end-to-end (E2E) delay, as switches must traverse more hops or encounter greater propagation delays when communicating with the controller.
