    Multi-Agent Deep Q-Networks for Efficient Edge Federated Learning Communications in Software-Defined IoT

    Prohim Tam1, Sa Math1, Ahyoung Lee2, Seokhoon Kim1,3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.2, pp. 3319-3335, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.023215 - 07 December 2021

    Abstract Federated learning (FL) activates distributed on-device computation techniques to model a better algorithm performance with the interaction of local model updates and global model distributions in aggregation averaging processes. However, in large-scale heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) cellular networks, massive multi-dimensional model update iterations and resource-constrained computation are challenging aspects to be tackled significantly. This paper introduces the system model of converging software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) to enable device/resource abstractions and provide NFV-enabled edge FL (eFL) aggregation servers for advancing automation and controllability. Multi-agent deep Q-networks (MADQNs) target to enforce a… More >

    Adaptive Quality-of-Service Allocation Scheme for Improving Video Quality over a Wireless Network

    Raed Alsaqour1, Ammar Hadi2, Maha Abdelhaq3,*

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.32, No.2, pp. 675-692, 2022, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2022.020482 - 17 November 2021

    Abstract The need to ensure the quality of video streaming transmitted over wireless networks is growing every day. Video streaming is typically used for applications that are sensitive to poor quality of service (QoS) due to insufficient bandwidth, packet loss, or delay. These challenges hurt video streaming quality since they affect throughput and packet delivery of the transmitted video. To achieve better video streaming quality, throughput must be high, with minimal packet delay and loss ratios. A current study, however, found that the adoption of the adaptive multiple TCP connections (AM-TCP), as a transport layer protocol, More >

    Optimal Hybrid Precoding Based QoE for Partially Structured Massive MIMO System

    Farung Samklang, Peerapong Uthansakul, Monthippa Uthansakul*, Patikorn Anchuen

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.1, pp. 1887-1902, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022139 - 03 November 2021

    Abstract Precoding is a beamforming technique that supports multi-stream transmission in which the RF chain plays a significant role as a digital precoding at the receiver for wireless communication. The traditional precoding contains only digital signal processing and each antenna connects to each RF chain, which provides high transmission efficiency but high cost and hardware complexity. Hybrid precoding is one of the most popular massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques that can save costs and avoid using complex hardware. At present, network services are currently in focus with a wide range of traffic volumes. In… More >

    Abstract Cloud computing has gained widespread popularity over the last decade. Scheduling problem in cloud computing is prejudiced due to enormous demands of cloud users. Meta-heuristic techniques in cloud computing have exhibited high performance in comparison to traditional scheduling algorithms. This paper presents a novel hybrid Nesterov Accelerated Gradient-based Cuckoo Search Algorithm (NAGCSA) to address the scheduling issue in cloud computing. Nesterov Accelerated Gradient can address trapping at local minima in CSA by updating the position using future approximation. The local search in the proposed algorithm is performed by using Nesterov Accelerated Gradient, while the global More >

    Abstract Cloud systems are tools and software for cloud computing that are deployed on the Internet or a cloud computing network, and users can use them at any time. After assessing and choosing cloud providers, however, customers confront the variety and difficulty of quality of service (QoS). To increase customer retention and engagement success rates, it is critical to research and develops an accurate and objective evaluation model. Cloud is the emerging environment for distributed services at various layers. Due to the benefits of this environment, globally cloud is being taken as a standard environment for… More >

    Mohammad Riyaz Belgaum1, Fuead Ali1, Zainab Alansari2, Shahrulniza Musa1,*, Muhammad Mansoor Alam1,3, M. S. Mazliham4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.1, pp. 251-266, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.018211 - 07 September 2021

    Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) plays a critical role in transforming networking from traditional to intelligent networking. The increasing demand for services from cloud users has increased the load on the network. An efficient system must handle various loads and increasing needs representing the relationships and dependence of businesses on automated measurement systems and guarantee the quality of service (QoS). The multiple paths from source to destination give a scope to select an optimal path by maintaining an equilibrium of load using some best algorithms. Moreover, the requests need to be transferred to reliable network elements. To… More >

    Hybrid Swarm Intelligence Based QoS Aware Clustering with Routing Protocol for WSN

    M. S. Maharajan1, T. Abirami2, Irina V. Pustokhina3, Denis A. Pustokhin4, K. Shankar5,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.3, pp. 2995-3013, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.016139 - 06 May 2021

    Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) started gaining attention due to its wide application in the fields of data collection and information processing. The recent advancements in multimedia sensors demand the Quality of Service (QoS) be maintained up to certain standards. The restrictions and requirements in QoS management completely depend upon the nature of target application. Some of the major QoS parameters in WSN are energy efficiency, network lifetime, delay and throughput. In this scenario, clustering and routing are considered as the most effective techniques to meet the demands of QoS. Since they are treated as NP… More >

    Quality of Service Aware Cluster Routing in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

    Ishtiaq Wahid1, Fasee Ullah2,*, Masood Ahmad1, Atif Khan3, M. Irfan Uddin4, Abdullah Alharbi5, Wael Alosaimi5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.67, No.3, pp. 3949-3965, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.014190 - 01 March 2021

    Abstract In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), the topology information (TI) is updated frequently due to vehicle mobility. These frequent changes in topology increase the topology maintenance overhead. To reduce the control message overhead, cluster-based routing schemes are proposed. In cluster-based routing schemes, the nodes are divided into different virtual groups, and each group (logical node) is considered a cluster. The topology changes are accommodated within each cluster, and broadcasting TI to the whole VANET is not required. The cluster head (CH) is responsible for managing the communication of a node with other nodes outside the… More >

    Abstract Routing protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) operate with Expanding Ring Search (ERS) mechanism to avoid flooding in the network while tracing step. ERS mechanism searches the network with discerning Time to Live (TTL) values described by respective routing protocol that save both energy and time. This work exploits the relation between the TTL value of a packet, traffic on a node and ERS mechanism for routing in MANETs and achieves an Adaptive ERS based Per Hop Behavior (AERSPHB) rendition of requests handling. Each search request is classified based on ERS attributes and then… More >
