Monitoring and controlling of transmission lines become easier in real time with synchrophasor measurements technology. Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) provide the time-stamped synchrophasor data of the system buses and transmission lines with a high reporting rate. In this paper, a mathematical model is implemented that allows the simulation of the characteristics of the spread of transmission line switching with load variations. In the model, the transmission lines are divided into three parts defined as susceptible, infected and recovered transmission lines inspired from epidemic model. In this paper, Reliability Test System (RTS − 1979) is divided into three zones to simulate the line switching spread behaviour with load variation for reliability and vulnerability analysis of the synchrophasor smart grid network. The anomaly exists with synchrophasor measuring devices due to cyber intrusion in communication network or failure of devices makes the system observable with the characterization of vulnerable behaviour of transmission lines.

Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) is widely used. In practical engineering applications, the transmitter and receiver of a stable and reliable WPT system need to establish not only a power transmission channel but also a data transmission channel to realize closed-loop control and information interaction. In this paper, a novel simultaneous wireless power and data transfer system based on a series–parallel (SP) resonant network is proposed. The system integrates an SP higher-order resonant network with series carrier injection, which makes power transmission and data transmission share a magnetic coupling channel. The isolation between power and data is realized by exploiting the frequency characteristics of the compensation network, thus realizing efficient power transmission and data transmission. In this paper, accurate and detailed mathematical modeling of the system is conducted, and the gain characteristics of the power transmission channel and the data transmission channel are demonstrated. Meanwhile, the mutual interference between the two channels is analyzed, and a feasible and effective parameter design method is developed. Finally, an experimental prototype with an output power of 16 W and a backward data rate of 100 Kbps is constructed to verify the feasibility of the proposed system and the correctness of the parameter design.

As an open network architecture, Wireless Computing Power Networks (WCPN) pose new challenges for achieving efficient and secure resource management in networks, because of issues such as insecure communication channels and untrusted device terminals. Blockchain, as a shared, immutable distributed ledger, provides a secure resource management solution for WCPN. However, integrating blockchain into WCPN faces challenges like device heterogeneity, monitoring communication states, and dynamic network nature. Whereas Digital Twins (DT) can accurately maintain digital models of physical entities through real-time data updates and self-learning, enabling continuous optimization of WCPN, improving synchronization performance, ensuring real-time accuracy, and supporting smooth operation of WCPN services. In this paper, we propose a DT for blockchain-empowered WCPN architecture that guarantees real-time data transmission between physical entities and digital models. We adopt an enumeration-based optimal placement algorithm (EOPA) and an improved simulated annealing-based near-optimal placement algorithm (ISAPA) to achieve minimum average DT synchronization latency under the constraint of DT error. Numerical results show that the proposed solution in this paper outperforms benchmarks in terms of average synchronization latency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the problem of scheduling control data transmissions from embedded processors to physical systems. For this problem, we propose novel state feedback and output feedback control architectures that are predicated on energy function-based and norm-free event-triggering conditions, where the embedded processor broadcasts a sampled data of its control signal value through a zero-order-hold operator to the physical system when the left side of the event-triggering condition equals to its right side. In this context, the energy function-based feature means that the right sides of the proposed event-triggering conditions involve an energy function as well as its time-derivative to make the selection of these right sides user-adjustable. Furthermore, the norm-free feature means that the left sides of the proposed event-triggering conditions do not depend on signal norms to allow for better control data transmission reduction. System-theoretical analyses of our event-triggered state feedback and output feedback control architectures are shown using the same energy functions and their time-derivatives used in the proposed event-triggering conditions, where illustrative numerical examples are also presented to demonstrate the efficacy of our contributions. To the best of our knowledge, the results given in this paper explore how event-triggering conditions are linked not only to energy functions but also to their time-derivatives for the first time.

This paper proposes an algorithm for the conversion of raster data to hexagonal DGGSs in the GPU by redevising the encoding and decoding mechanisms. The researchers first designed a data structure based on rhombic tiles to convert the hexagonal DGGS to a texture format acceptable for GPUs, thus avoiding the irregularity of the hexagonal DGGS. Then, the encoding and decoding methods of the tile data based on space-filling curves were designed, respectively, so as to reduce the amount of data transmission from the CPU to the GPU. Finally, the researchers improved the algorithmic efficiency through thread design. To validate the above design, raster integration experiments were conducted based on the global Aster 30 m digital elevation dataDEM, and the experimental results showed that the raster integration accuracy of this algorithms was around 1 m, while its efficiency could be improved to more than 600 times that of the algorithm for integrating the raster data to the hexagonal DGGS data, executed in the CPU. Therefore, the researchers believe that this study will provide a feasible method for the efficient and stable integration of massive raster data based on a hexagonal grid, which may well support the organization of massive raster data in the field of GIS.

With the continuous progress of the society, Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) in Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) continuously generate a large amount of data. Considering the data security at the vehicle node end, the introduction of federated learning(FL) into the Internet of Vehicles may be an effective solution. However, there are some challenges in applying existing federated learning frameworks directly to IoVs. For example, the participation of malicious nodes in model training can cause federated model poisoning, and the non-IID data generated at the vehicle side can slow down the convergence speed of FL. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel federated learning framework based on trust evaluation. The trust evaluation module of this framework evaluates the trust of vehicle nodes from three levels: the success rate of data transmission, the reliability and real-time performance of the network, and the historical behaviors of the nodes to derive the total trust value of the vehicle nodes in order to select nodes with high trust to participate in model training. The model training module of the framework takes into account the problem of slow model convergence caused by the non-IID nature of the training data at the vehicle node side, which is mitigated with the aid of the Federated Adaptive Weighting algorithm (FedAdp). Simulation results on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets demonstrate that the framework proposed in this paper can achieve 85%-90% test accuracy with training data in IID and non-IID settings and two model attack settings.

This paper presents a novel approach to optical communication systems by introducing a hybrid MGDM–FSO (Mode Group Diversity Multiplexing—Free Space Optical) system. The primary objective of this innovative system is to address the limitations of traditional communication systems, particularly in challenging environmental conditions. By combining the advantages of MGDM, which enhances transmission capacity in optical fibers, with the flexibility and high data rates offered by FSO technology, the hybrid MGDM–FSO system aims to overcome obstacles encountered during data transmission. In this study, we provide a detailed analysis of the proposed system's architecture and performance characteristics under various operating conditions. Specifically, we investigate both single-input single-output (SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configurations of the MGDM–FSO system. Performance metrics such as received power levels, bit error rate (BER), and quality factor (Q-factor) are evaluated to assess the system's efficiency across different weather conditions. Numerical simulations are conducted to analyze the system's performance under a range of scenarios. Our findings indicate that under clear weather conditions, both SISO and MIMO configurations exhibit optimal performance, characterized by high Q-factor and low BER. However, as weather conditions deteriorate to heavy rain and heavy fog, the Q-factor of the received signal decreases, highlighting the impact of environmental factors on system performance. This study contributes valuable insights into the behavior of hybrid MGDM–FSO systems and emphasizes the importance of robust communication techniques to mitigate environmental challenges. The findings presented here have implications for the design and implementation of optical communication systems in real-world scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the vigorous development of cloud computing, most organizations have shifted their data and applications to the cloud environment for storage, computation, and sharing purposes. During storage and data sharing across the participating entities, a malicious agent may gain access to outsourced data from the cloud environment. A malicious agent is an entity that deliberately breaches the data. This information accessed might be misused or revealed to unauthorized parties. Therefore, data protection and prediction of malicious agents have become a demanding task that needs to be addressed appropriately. To deal with this crucial and challenging issue, this paper presents a Malicious Agent Identification-based Data Security (MAIDS) Model which utilizes XGBoost machine learning classification algorithm for securing data allocation and communication among different participating entities in the cloud system. The proposed model explores and computes intended multiple security parameters associated with online data communication or transactions. Correspondingly, a security-focused knowledge database is produced for developing the XGBoost Classifier-based Malicious Agent Prediction (XC-MAP) unit. Unlike the existing approaches, which only identify malicious agents after data leaks, MAIDS proactively identifies malicious agents by examining their eligibility for respective data access. In this way, the model provides a comprehensive solution to safeguard crucial data from both intentional and non-intentional breaches, by granting data to authorized agents only by evaluating the agent's behavior and predicting the malicious agent before granting data. The performance of the proposed model is thoroughly evaluated by accomplishing extensive experiments, and the results signify that the MAIDS model predicts the malicious agents with high accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-scores up to 95.55%, 95.30%, 95.50%, and 95.20%, respectively. This enormously enhances the system's security in terms of authorized data access accuracy up to 55.49%, precision up to 43.15%, recall up to 55.49%, and F1-score up to 39.96%, respectively, as compared to state-of-the-art work.

The images captured in the experiment were clear, with a resolution of less than 1cm and an overlap rate of more than 70%. These all results meet the emergency observation requirement, which indicates that the aerial remote sensing platform based on real-time satellite communication has great potential for application in natural disaster emergency response.

In the framework of the space-air-ground-ocean integrated network, the underwater acoustic sensor network (UASN) plays a pivotal role. The design of media access control (MAC) protocols is essential for the UASN to ensure efficient and reliable data transmission. From the perspective of differentiated services in the UASN, a service-aware and scheduling-based hybrid MAC protocol, named the SSH-MAC protocol, is proposed in this paper. In the SSH-MAC protocol, the centralized scheduling strategy is adopted by sensor nodes with environmental monitoring service, and the distributed scheduling strategy is adopted by sensor nodes with target detection service. Considering the time-varying data generation rate of sensor nodes, the sink node will switch the scheduling mode of sensor nodes based on the specific control packet and adjust the resource allocation ratio between centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling. Simulation results show that the performance of the SSH-MAC protocol, in terms of utilization, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, and payload efficiency, is good.

Edge computing enables prompt responses in IoT environments, such as the operation of autonomous vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. However, with the increase in sensor nodes, the computational burden on the computing node also increases. Specifically, data filtering and reduction at application nodes add to the energy burden for battery-operated devices. In this paper, we propose a preprocessing system at the application node that requires low power consumption for data transmission reduction. Based on our simulations, we identify the minimum data size needed to preserve the signal. We first design the preprocessing system using a hardware description language to evaluate its performance. Then, we implement the open-library-based MCU system, including the proposed preprocessing IP, to assess its operation and overhead. Our implementation of the preprocessing system reduces data transmission by 50% with acceptable information loss. Additionally, the area and power consumption after the logic synthesis of the preprocessing IP within the entire MCU system are evaluated at only 3.6% and 13.1%, respectively. By performing preprocessing using the MCU and proposed IP, nearly 74.4% power reduction is achieved compared to using the existing MCU core. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a hot technology trend, the federated learning (FL) cleverly combines data utilization and privacy protection by processing data locally on the client and only sharing model parameters with the server, embodying an efficient and secure collaborative learning model between clients and aggregated Servers. During the process of uploading parameters in FL models, there is susceptibility to unauthorized access threats, which can result in training data leakage. To ensure data security during transmission, the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) protocols are proposed to authenticate legitimate users and safeguard training data. However, existing AKA protocols for client–server (C/S) architecture show security deficiencies, such as lack of user anonymity and susceptibility to password guessing attacks. In this paper, we propose a robust 2FAKA-C/S protocol based on ECC and Hash-chain technology. Our security analysis shows that the proposed protocol ensures the session keys are semantically secure and can effectively resist various attacks. The performance analysis indicates that the proposed protocol achieves a total running time of 62.644 ms and requires only 800 bits of communication overhead, showing superior computational efficiency and lower communication costs compared to existing protocols. In conclusion, the proposed protocol securely protects the training parameters in a federated learning environment and provides a reliable guarantee for data transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the networking technologies is called a wireless sensor network, and what it does is link sensor nodes by using wireless communication as the channel of connection. A haphazard and random distribution of nodes is carried out throughout the deployment process within the network area. As a result, the distances between the nodes do not remain constant. The nodes have a high sensing capacity, but their range of perception and battery life are also severely limited. The wireless data may be sensed by all of the nodes inside their respective sensing regions. Consequently, there are a variety of new applications that make use of WSN applications, particularly in surveillance monitoring applications such as those used in hospitals, buildings, forests, and airspace monitoring. The transmission of the data to the appropriate server or data centre that is linked with the cloud or the internet is experiencing greater difficulties as a result of the growing amount of monitoring data. This indicates that a significant quantity of data is lost as a result of the fact that wireless transmission is affected by environmental factors such as precipitation, humidity, and wind storms. It is vital to create and execute an innovative routing protocol to deliver greater throughput and raise the overall Quality of Service of the WSN applications in order to solve the difficulties that have been outlined above. This study paper presents a metaheuristic algorithm based optimal routing protocol for WSN application, which boosts the overall quality of service of any surveillance monitoring applications. To achieve this goal, the protocol was designed for wireless sensor networks. It does so in an effective manner, resulting in decreased delay and energy consumption as well as enhanced throughput and PDR. Based on the findings of the experiments, it has been hypothesised that the proposed metaheuristic algorithm-based routing protocol is capable of performing better routing for any type of surveillance monitoring and remote monitoring, as well as successfully transmitting any type of data, including numerical, video, and image data.

This paper studies the problem of joint deployment, user association, channel, and resource allocation in unmanned aerial vehicle‐enabled access network. Since different user equipments performing different tasks and have different data rate requirements, the priority‐based traffic fairness problem is investigated. This problem, however, is a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem with NP‐hard complexity, making it challenging to be solved. To address this issue, a self‐organized and distributed framework "sense‐as‐you‐fly" based on the decomposition process, which divides the original problem into several subproblems, is proposed. Assuming without central controller, we derive the closed‐form resource allocation scheme and propose distributed many‐to‐one matching to optimize user association subproblem. Considering the coupled characteristics, the multi‐unmanned aerial vehicle deployment and channel allocation subproblems are modelled as a local altruistic game. The existence of Nash equilibrium is proved with the aid of exact potential game and efficient best response learning‐based algorithm is proposed. The original problem is finally addressed by solving the sub‐problems alternately and iteratively. Simulation results verify its effectiveness. By jointly optimizing multidimensional variables, the proposed algorithm unlocks network performance gains, especially in resource‐limited regimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The agriculture Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely applied in assisting pear farmers with pest and disease prediction, as well as precise crop management, by providing real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities. To enhance the effectiveness of agriculture IoT monitoring applications, clustering protocols are utilized in the data transmission of agricultural wireless sensor networks (AWSNs).

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to proliferate, the demand for efficient and secure data processing at the network edge has grown exponentially. Fog computing, a paradigm that extends cloud capabilities to the edge of the network, plays a pivotal role in meeting these requirements. In this context, the reliable and trustworthy forwarding of data is of paramount importance. This paper presents an innovative mechanism designed to ensure the trustworthiness of data forwarding in the context of MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), a widely adopted IoT communication protocol. Our proposed mechanism leverages the inherent advantages of MQTT to establish a robust and secure data-forwarding scheme. It integrates fog computing resources seamlessly into the MQTT ecosystem, enhancing data reliability and security. The mechanism employs trust models to evaluate the credibility of IoT devices and fog nodes involved in data forwarding, enabling informed decisions at each stage of the transmission process. Key components of the mechanism include secure communication protocols, authentication mechanisms, and data integrity verification. The proposed secure communication protocols (TLS/SSL, MQTTS, and PKI) and data integrity verification methods (MAC, digital signatures, checksums, and CRC) provide a robust framework for ensuring secure and trustworthy data transmission in IoT systems. These elements collectively contribute to the establishment of a reliable data forwarding pipeline within MQTT. Additionally, the mechanism prioritizes low-latency communication and efficient resource utilization, aligning with the real-time requirements of IoT applications. Through empirical evaluations and simulations, the research demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed mechanism in improving the trustworthiness of data forwarding, while minimizing overhead, as the experiment was conducted with 15 fog nodes, and the maximum Level of Trust (LoT) score was 0.968, which is very high, with an estimated accuracy of 97.63%. The results indicate that our approach significantly enhances data security and reliability in MQTT-based IoT environments, thereby facilitating the seamless integration of fog computing resources for edge processing.

Fault recorded data has been proven to be effective for fault diagnosis of overhead transmission lines. Utilizing deep learning to mine potential fault patterns in fault recording data is an inevitable trend. However, it is usually difficult to obtain massive labeled fault recording data, which results in deep learning‐based fault diagnosis models not being adequately trained. Although data augmentation methods provide ideas for expanding the training data, existing data augmentation algorithms (e.g. random perturbation‐based augmentation) may lead to distortion of multi‐view data, that is, time domain data and frequency domain data of the fault recorded data, which results in the inconsistency of physical properties and statistical distributions of the generated data and the actual recording data, and misguides the training of the models. Hence, this study proposes a transmission line fault classification method via the multi‐view synergistic enhancement of fault recording data. The methodology proposes to start with a synergistic enhancement of multi‐view data such as time and frequency domains of fault recording data, and utilizes contrastive learning to further improve the performance of the fault classification model while ensuring that the generated data is not distorted. Experimental results on three real‐world datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Free space optical communication is a potential technology that exploits the visible light frequency band for communication. In this paper, a free-space optical link (FSOL) optimization in visible light communication (VLC) is used to improve the channel performance for signal strength and analyze the effect of signal failures in a communication system.

To send and receive data simultaneously, reduce network interference, and effectively improve energy efficiency, this paper analyzes the network characteristics of Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Sensor Network and optimizes the power and channel of each radio frequency interface. Based on the novel energy efficiency model and energy consumption efficiency model, this paper establishes a distributed optimization game model using Game Theory to maximize network energy efficiency, minimize energy consumption, and ensure network connectivity. Based on the game model, an efficient distributed resource allocation game algorithm is designed, in which a joint power control and channel allocation can quickly converge to Nash Equilibrium with low complexity. At the same time, the simulation results show that the distributed resource allocation game algorithm can effectively improve the energy efficiency, reduce network interference and bit error rate to ensure the successful data transmission.

The rapid development of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and its application across various sectors has led to increased interconnectivity and data sharing between devices and sensors. While this has brought convenience to users, it has also raised concerns about information security, including data security and identity authentication. IIoT devices are particularly vulnerable to attacks due to their lack of robust key management systems, efficient authentication processes, high fault tolerance, and other issues. To address these challenges, technologies such as blockchain and the formal analysis of security protocols can be utilized. And blockchain-based Industrial Internet of Things (BIIoT) is the new direction. These technologies leverage the strengths of cryptography and logical reasoning to provide secure data communication and ensure reliable identity authentication and verification, thereby becoming a crucial support for maintaining the security of the Industrial Internet. In this paper, based on the theory of the strand space attack model, we improved the Fiber Channel Password Authentication Protocol (FACP) security protocol in the network environment based on symmetric cryptography and asymmetric cryptography. Specifically, in view of the problem that the challenge value cannot reach a consensus under the symmetric cryptography system, and the subject identity cannot reach a consensus under the asymmetric cryptography system, an improved protocol is designed and implemented to meet the authentication requirements, and the corresponding attack examples are shown. Finally, the effectiveness and security of the protocol were verified by simulating different networking environments. The improved protocol has shown an increase in efficiency compared with the original protocol across three different network configurations. There was a 6.43% increase in efficiency when centralized devices were connected to centralized devices, a 5.81% increase in efficiency when centralized devices were connected to distributed devices, and a 6.32% increase in efficiency when distributed devices were connected to distributed devices. Experimental results show that this protocol can enhance the security and efficiency of communication between devices and between devices and nodes (servers, disks) in commonly used Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) environments without affecting the identity authentication function.

Due to the uniqueness of the underwater environment, traditional data aggregation schemes face many challenges. Most existing data aggregation solutions do not fully consider node trustworthiness, which may result in the inclusion of falsified data sent by malicious nodes during the aggregation process, thereby affecting the accuracy of the aggregated results. Additionally, because of the dynamically changing nature of the underwater environment, current solutions often lack sufficient flexibility to handle situations such as node movement and network topology changes, significantly impacting the stability and reliability of data transmission. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes a secure data aggregation algorithm based on a trust mechanism. By dynamically adjusting the number and size of node slices based on node trust values and transmission distances, the proposed algorithm effectively reduces network communication overhead and improves the accuracy of data aggregation. Due to the variability in the number of node slices, even if attackers intercept some slices, it is difficult for them to reconstruct the complete data, thereby ensuring data security.

A large number of interconnected smart devices or objects interact with the physical environment known as the Internet of Things (IoT). These networks efficiently perform complex tasks with a high level of intelligence without human intervention and require run-time processing and computation. Edge computing is introduced where devices are placed at the edge between the data source and the cloud. These devices can provide more powerful computational and storage capabilities to IoT users. With various benefits, one of the significant requirements is secure and trustworthy data communication. Various trust management schemes are introduced to guarantee the trustworthiness and isolation of the malicious nodes and give preference to the most trustworthy ones. The existing schemes selected trustworthy nodes again and again from the path without considering the load factor which leads them to be more vulnerable for the Denial of Services (DoS) attacks. In this paper, we propose a Link-based Penalized Trust Management scheme to provide trust management and consider load factors for the selection of most trustworthy nodes and provide a preemptive measure to secure the network from DoS attacks based on its link's association. Simulation results indicate the better performance of the proposed scheme as compared with existing schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 5G, users can easily enjoy services by accessing the edge devices (EDs) deployed around the base stations. Generally, due to the uneven distribution and mobility of users, one ED is required to serve multiple users simultaneously, that results in the ED overload, seriously affecting the quality of experience (QoE) of the users. By responding to users' requests, service migration realizes the cross edge device migrations, that dynamically provides services for mobile users, which effectively improves the resource utilization rate of edge servers and the QoE of users. However, during the service migrations, malicious users may deploy pseudo base stations, gateways and other devices to illegally eavesdrop or tamper with user service data, that causes user information loss or disclosure. To prevent these security issues, a fountain-coding based cooperative jamming strategy is proposed in this paper. Specifically, the fountain coding technology is introduced to construct a three-node transmission model, including an original node, a target node and a malicious node, to realize the secure data transmission process in service migration. Besides, a group of relay nodes are employed to carry out cooperative jamming, that deteriorate the illegal eavesdropping quality of malicious nodes on service data. Then secrecy rate and outage probability are utilized to evaluate the security and reliability of the whole service migration. Finally, the theoretical analysis is shown by simulation results.

In this paper, we investigate an Internet of Things (IoT) network in severe fading environments, where the source sends some information to the destination. Due to the fading obstacle, the source cannot directly send the information to the destination. To tackle this issue, we consider the communication of IoT networks assisted by multi-hop relaying, where multiple relays can help assist the data transmission from the source to the destination. For the considered IoT networks assisted by multi-hop relaying, we evaluate the system performance by studying the transmission outage probability, where an analytical expression is derived to evaluate the IoT outage. We then evaluate the system performance by studying the transmission achievable data rate, where an analytical expression is provided to evaluate the IoT rate. Finally, we present some experimental results as well as the analytical results to verify the derived expressions for the IoT networks assisted by multi-hop relaying. In particular, the usage of multi-hop relaying can help extend the coverage area of IoT networks effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technology brings tremendous benefits to people's lives and work. However, the integration of IoT devices into diverse systems has underscored the pressing issue of security.

The urban railway is a rail transit system that is suitable for connecting the central urban area of the metropolitan area with the surrounding urban clusters, providing public-focused, large volume, fast and convenient transportation services. The urban railway requires that the on-board equipment at both ends of the train be able to perform head-to-tail communication, support automatic turn-back behind the station and automatically change ends in the station.

After laboratory testing and inspection, the head-to-tail communication method and technology proposed in this paper can achieve high safety and high reliability in data communication between the on-board equipment at the head and tail of the train, which is an important basic technology for urban railway trains to realize automatic turn-back behind the station and automatic end change in the station.

This paper addresses the control task of a wireless power transfer (WPT) charger designed for electric vehicles (EVs). The challenge is to maintain a constant battery charging current when the WPT is controlled on the ground side. Indeed, the intermittent latency involved in the wireless data communication between the ground and vehicle sides leads to system instability. To overcome this issue, a new control approach has been proposed in this paper. The proposed technique ensures indirect control of the battery charging current through control of the current on the ground side. The control technique relies on an adaptive hill-climbing algorithm in conjunction with a PI-based controller. The adaptive parameter is adjusted online, during the operation of the charger, only when a new measure of the battery charging current is received on the primary side. This makes it possible to avoid the need for real-time wireless data communication. It should be noted that this aspect is crucial in ensuring the controller's robustness and stability of the system regardless of potential delays in wireless communication and large misalignments between the coils. The validity of the proposed control technique has been confirmed through simulation. In addition, experimental validation, using a laboratory test bed, demonstrated satisfactory results.

Maritime area detection technology applies equipment such as high-orbit satellites, gateway ships and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to detection. In this scenario, real-time uploading and analysis of maritime data is crucial. In the existing scenario, UAV data are gathered to the gateway ship and uploaded to the shore-based cloud via the high-orbit satellite, because the communication distance of the high-orbit satellite is far, and when the uploaded data volume is large or the access to the equipment increases, the propagation delay of the uploading of the data from the gateway ship to the satellite and the forwarding of the data from the satellite to the shore-based cloud is longer, and the processing delay of the shore-based cloud is increased, and the efficiency of the data transmission and communication will be affected as well. Aiming at the problem of increasing delay caused by communication limitations in maritime area detection, this paper proposes a maritime area detection scheme based on cloud-side collaboration. The scheme solves the problem of communication limitation from the following two aspects. First, the edge computing nodes are deployed on the ship side of the gateway, and the optimal offloading ratio is sought through game theory to offload a part of the tasks from the center cloud to the edge cloud for processing, which improves the efficiency of processing data and thus reduces the data transmission latency and data processing delay. Secondly, low-orbit (LEO) satellites are introduced to provide communication services, because low-orbit satellites have low orbital altitude and short propagation delay, which can transmit the data at the gateway ship to the shore-based cloud more quickly and improve the data transmission efficiency. Finally, it is also verified by designing experiments that the proposed scheme adopts the optimal offloading ratio and has a lower total delay than the original scheme, thus proving the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

In the digital age, data transmission has become a key component of globalization and international cooperation. However, it faces several challenges in protecting the privacy and security of data, such as the risk of information disclosure on third-party platforms. Moreover, there are few solutions for personal data protection in cross-border transmission scenarios due to the difficulty of handling sensitive information between different countries and regions. In this paper, we propose an approach, personal data protection based on homomorphic encryption (PDPHE), to creatively apply the privacy computing technology homomorphic encryption (HE) to cross-border personal data protection. Specifically, PDPHE reconstructs the classical full homomorphic encryption (FHE) algorithm, DGHV, by adding support for multi-bit encryption and security level classification to ensure consistency with current data protection regulations. Then, PDPHE applies the reconstructed algorithm to the novel cross-border data protection scenario. To evaluate PDPHE in actual cross-border data transfer scenarios, we construct a prototype model based on PDPHE and manually construct a data corpus called PDPBench. Our evaluation results on PDPBench demonstrate that PDPHE cannot only effectively solve privacy protection issues in cross-border data transmission but also promote international data exchange and cooperation, bringing significant improvements for personal data protection during cross-border data sharing.
