In this paper, we provide a novel failure-resilient token-based mutual exclusion (ME) algorithm for distributed systems. Like a few other solutions in the literature, the proposed solution leverages a logical tree as its underlying topology. ...

Network softwarization has significantly evolved since programmable data planes became topical in academia and industry. Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors (P4) is a language to define packet forwarding behavior. Forwarding ...

The evolving UAV swarm flight environment exacerbates the difficulty of secure message delivery within the swarm. Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) have the potential to provide lightweight physical identities to UAV nodes. Nevertheless, the ...

Environmental intelligence aims to improve the decision-making process for high social and environmental value ecosystems. To this end, data are collected using different sensors to allow monitoring of different variables of interest. Typically, ...

With the development of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), there will be more and more intelligent manufacturing products requiring remote monitoring, maintenance, management, and optimization. IIoT and intelligent manufacturing require ...

The millimeter-wave (mmWave) plays a vital role in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond-5G (B5G) cellular networks, which is also attractive for wireless power transfer (WPT) since the mmWave base stations (BSs) are usually equipped with large ...

Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is a key component in securing the computer network from various cyber security threats and network attacks. However, consider an unfortunate situation where the NIDS is itself attacked and vulnerable; ...

This paper evaluates the performance of the two ETSI non-area forwarding algorithms in the GeoNetworking specification: Greedy Forwarding and Non-Area Contention-Based Forwarding (CBF). Non-area forwarding occurs when a packet is sent to a ...

• Greedy Forwarding does not work when used with a congestion control mechanism.
• This leaves CBF as the only viable ETSI ITS non-area forwarding mechanism.
• CBF, as defined in ETSI ITS GeoNetworking, is effective but not efficient.

Target localization has been regarded as one of the most important techniques of underwater sensor networks (USNs). However, the challenges posed by weak communication, inhomogeneous medium, and openness of underwater environment make ...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) present challenges in terms of access collision and merge collision, leading to increased access delay in end-to-end vehicle communication. How to address these issues remains an unsolved problem. In this paper, ...

—Many RFID systems own the information of RFID tags in the database, so the reader knows how many tags will be identified and which tags’ IDs might appear. How the RFID anti-collision protocols take advantage of this knowledge is a challenge. ...

The sixth generation (6G) of mobile networks is poised to revolutionize communication capabilities with its infinite-like reach. These networks will feature an ultra-dense topology, accommodating a wide range of devices, from macro devices like ...

With the development of Internet of Vehicles (IoV), organizations or institutions are increasingly interested in aggregating vehicle perception data to perform data analysis. Nevertheless, the existing solutions are difficult to meet the ...

The increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets in a daily rate has heightened security apprehension, particularly within the healthcare sector. In order to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, it is imperative for ...

Data sharing has received much attention and research as an excellent way to unlock the value of data. Trusted data storage servers will participate in the data-sharing system to provide users with convenient data access and storage services. ...

In the forthcoming era of 6G, the deployment of dense and diverse wireless networks equipped with edge servers makes parallel offloading a crucial technology for multiple access edge computing. However, the effectiveness of parallel offloading is ...

Industry 4.0 and the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) aim to create a platform for data-driven decision-making through machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, often facilitated by the 6LoWPAN standard. However, as a resource-constrained ...

Low-power wide area (LPWA) technology, specifically Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), has emerged as a pivotal sixth-generation (6G) network technology, catering to the demands of massive-type communications (m-MTC), extended battery life, ...

Driven by advancements in Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins (DT), and cyber–physical systems (CPS), there is a growing interest in the digitalizing of asset integrity management. CPS, in particular, is a pivotal technology ...

Wireless communication technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) applications are the main drivers of upcoming sustainable smart networks which require an effective resource management. The reduction of the transmission energy consumption and the ...

In the context of smart grids, bidirectional transmission of electricity information enables real-time electricity generation tailored to consumer needs. However, ensuring user privacy during data collection has emerged as a significant concern ...
