5G Network Management, Orchestration, and Architecture: A Practical Study of the MonB5G project
The cellular device explosion in the past few decades has created many
different opportunities for development for future generations. The 5G network
offers a greater speed in the transmissions, a lower latency, and therefore
greater capacity for remote execution. The benefits of AI for 5G network
slicing orchestration and management will be discussed in this survey paper. We
will study these topics in light of the EU-funded MonB5G project that works
towards providing zero-touch management and orchestration in the support of
network slicing at massive scales for 5G LTE and beyond
UAV Based 5G Network: A Practical Survey Study
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are anticipated to significantly contribute
to the development of new wireless networks that could handle high-speed
transmissions and enable wireless broadcasts. When compared to communications
that rely on permanent infrastructure, UAVs offer a number of advantages,
including flexible deployment, dependable line-of-sight (LoS) connection links,
and more design degrees of freedom because of controlled mobility. Unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) combined with 5G networks and Internet of Things (IoT)
components have the potential to completely transform a variety of industries.
UAVs may transfer massive volumes of data in real-time by utilizing the low
latency and high-speed abilities of 5G networks, opening up a variety of
applications like remote sensing, precision farming, and disaster response.
This study of UAV communication with regard to 5G/B5G WLANs is presented in
this research. The three UAV-assisted MEC network scenarios also include the
specifics for the allocation of resources and optimization. We also concentrate
on the case where a UAV does task computation in addition to serving as a MEC
server to examine wind farm turbines. This paper covers the key implementation
difficulties of UAV-assisted MEC, such as optimum UAV deployment, wind models,
and coupled trajectory-computation performance optimization, in order to
promote widespread implementations of UAV-assisted MEC in practice. The primary
problem for 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) is delivering broadband access to various
device kinds. Prior to discussing associated research issues faced by the
developing integrated network design, we first provide a brief overview of the
background information as well as the networks that integrate space, aviation,
and land
Machine Learning Based Detection of False Data Injection Attacks in Wide Area Monitoring Systems
The Smart Grid (SG) is an upgraded, intelligent, and a more reliable version of the traditional Power Grid due to the integration of information and communication technologies. The operation of the SG requires a dense communication network to link all its components. But such a network renders it prone to cyber attacks jeopardizing the integrity and security of the communicated data between the physical electric grid and the control centers.
One of the most prominent components of the SG are Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS). WAMS are a modern platform for grid-wide information,
communication, and coordination that play a major role in maintaining the stability of the grid against major disturbances.
In this thesis, an anomaly detection framework is proposed to identify False Data Injection (FDI) attacks in WAMS using different Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques, i.e., Deep Autoencoders (DAE), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), and One-Class Support Vector Machine (OC-SVM). These algorithms leverage diverse, complex, and high-volume power measurements coming from communications between different components of the grid to detect intelligent FDI attacks. The injected false data is assumed to target several major WAMS monitoring applications, such as Voltage Stability Monitoring (VSM), and Phase Angle Monitoring (PAM). The attack vector is considered to be smartly crafted based on the power system data, so that it can pass the conventional bad data detection schemes and remain stealthy. Due to the lack of realistic attack data, machine learning-based anomaly detection techniques are used to detect FDI attacks. To demonstrate the impact of attacks on the realistic WAMS traffic and to show the effectiveness of the proposed detection framework, a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) co-simulation testbed is developed. The performance of the implemented techniques is compared on the testbed data using different metrics: Accuracy, F1 score, and False Positive Rate (FPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR). The IEEE 9-bus and IEEE 39-bus systems are used as benchmarks to investigate the framework scalability. The experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed models in detecting FDI attacks in WAMS
