Pilot spoofing detection algorithm for edge nodes based on heterogeneous pilot energy estimation by Shiguo WANG, Shujuan TIAN, Qingyong DENG

“…For the federated learning scenarios with edge-end cooperation, edge servers and device terminals update their models and exchange gradient parameters frequently, and hence eavesdroppers can manipulate channel estimation through pilot spoofing to intercept the transmitted information and reduce the update efficiency of federated learning model.Therefore, a pilot attack detection algorithm with heterogeneous pilot energy estimation was proposed.Firstly, a federated learning pilot attack system model was constructed after the security of pilot attacks on data transmission had been analyzed.Then, a pilot attack detection method based on random segmentation and encryption methods was proposed to detect the pilot spoofing accurately and the contaminated channel could be recovered as well.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more suitable for detecting pilot attacks with low transmit power and strong concealment compared to other existing algorithms.Furthermore, the data transmission rate of edge servers is improved significantly through the precoding based on the recovered channel state information.…”

Adaptive clustering federated learning via similarity acceleration by Suxia ZHU, Binke GU, Guanglu SUN

“…In order to solve the problem of model performance degradation caused by data heterogeneity in the federated learning process, it is necessary to consider personalizing in the federated model.A new adaptively clustering federated learning (ACFL) algorithm via similarity acceleration was proposed, achieving adaptive acceleration clustering based on geometric properties of local updates and the positive feedback mechanism during clients federated training.By dividing clients into different task clusters, clients with similar data distribution in the same cluster was cooperated to improve the performance of federated model.It did not need to determine the number of clusters in advance and iteratively divide the clients, so as to avoid the problems of high computational cost and slow convergence speed in the existing clustering federation methods while ensuring the performance of models.The effectiveness of ACFL was verified by using deep convolutional neural networks on commonly used datasets.The results show that the performance of ACFL is comparable to the clustered federated learning (CFL) algorithm, it is better than the traditional iterative federated cluster algorithm (IFCA), and has faster convergence speed.…”

Gain-aware caching scheme for information-centric networking by Long CHEN, Hong-bo TANG, Xing-guo LUO, Yi BAI, Zhen ZHANG

“…The in-network caching system of information-centric networking had to deal with the popularity of huge number of content chunks and make efficient usage of storage resources.A content popularity based caching gain opti-mization model aimed to get maximum reduction of content retrieve cost was established,and a gain-aware caching scheme was proposed.By utilizing filtering effect of cache to request flow is scheme achieves caching cooperation and diversity potentially while maximizing caching gain of every single node.Bloom filter based sliding window strategy captures the content chunks with high caching gain according to request arrival interval and retrieval cost from the source.Analysis shows that the method can drastically reduce memory consumption caused by popularity monitoring.The simu-lation results illuminate that this scheme is well aware of content popularity based caching gain,and gets better band-width saving and cache hit ratio when content popularity is changing dynamically.…”
