AoI-enabled multi-node cooperative sensing based on integration of sensing, communication, and computing in vehicular networks by Yiqing ZHOU, Haoyue ZHANG, Yanli QI, Qing CAI, Ling LIU, Jiangzhou WANG

“…For the requirements of real-time services in autonomous driving systems, such as high-definition (HD) maps, based on the integration of sensing, communication, and computing, a multi-node cooperative sensing mechanism was proposed with the age of information (AoI) as the real-time indicator.Considering the constraints on communication and computing resources and vehicle energy consumption, the information collection, transmission and processing of sensing nodes were optimally scheduled to minimize the AoI averaged over time.A Lyapunov-based online scheduling algorithm was proposed to transform the long-term stochastic optimization problem into an online optimization problem, which could be solved with low complexity.Compared with the existing mechanism considering integrated communication and computing, the proposed mechanism can improve real-time performance by 9%～50%.…”

RANSAC based robust localization algorithm for visual sensor network by Bo ZHANG, Hai-yong LUO, Ji-wei LIU, Fang ZHAO

“…Due to node failures or environmental changes,observed data on the target will be error in visual sensor network,so the least squares based multi-vision localization algorithm won’t be accurate.A centralized RANSAC based robust localization method was proposed,which can remove the error data and improve the positioning accuracy.Furthermore,to address this issue,energy imbalance of network nodes in centralized RANSAC where all computing load is executed in one single node,a robust localization algorithm based on distributed RANSAC was also proposed,which can distribute a large number of iterative calculations into each node averagely to ensure the network balance on calculation and energy without affecting the robustness.Finally,through comparing experiments on no-RANSAC,cen-RANSAC and dis-RANSAC,it’s verified that this algorithm can obtain robust and good positioning results in a predetermined probability,and the time complexity was analyzed via experiment.…”

Intrusion detection method for IoT in heterogeneous environment by LIU Jing, MU Zelin, LAI Yingxu

“…Initially, a channel importance scoring-based structured pruning strategy was proposed, facilitating the generation of sub-models to be disseminated to resource-limited clients, thereby harmonizing model accuracy and complexity. Subsequently, an innovative heterogeneous model aggregation algorithm was introduced, utilizing similarity-weighted coefficients for channel averaging, thereby effectively mitigating the adverse effects of Non-IID data during the model aggregation process. …”
