However, the steady performance of eMBB traffic while meeting the requirements of URLLC traffic with puncturing is a major challenge in some realistic scenarios. In this paper, we pay attention to the timely and energy-efficient processing for eMBB traffic in the industrial Internet of Things(IIoT), where mobile edge computing(MEC) is employed for data processing. Specifically, the performance of eMBB traffic and URLLC traffic in a MEC-based IIoT system is ensured by setting the threshold of tolerable delay and outage probability, respectively. Furthermore,considering the limited energy supply, an energy minimization problem of eMBB device is formulated under the above constraints, by jointly optimizing the resource blocks(RBs) punctured by URLLC traffic, data offloading and transmit power of eMBB device. With Markov's inequality, the problem is reformulated by transforming the probabilistic outage constraint into a deterministic constraint. Meanwhile, an iterative energy minimization algorithm(IEMA) is proposed.Simulation results demonstrate that our algorithm has a significant reduction in the energy consumption for eMBB device and achieves a better overall effect compared to several benchmarks.展开更多

文摘By identifying and responding to any malicious behavior that could endanger the system,the Intrusion Detection System(IDS)is crucial for preserving the security of the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)network.The benefit of anomaly-based IDS is that they are able to recognize zeroday attacks due to the fact that they do not rely on a signature database to identify abnormal activity.In order to improve control over datasets and the process,this study proposes using an automated machine learning(AutoML)technique to automate the machine learning processes for IDS.Our groundbreaking architecture,known as AID4I,makes use of automatic machine learning methods for intrusion detection.Through automation of preprocessing,feature selection,model selection,and hyperparameter tuning,the objective is to identify an appropriate machine learning model for intrusion detection.Experimental studies demonstrate that the AID4I framework successfully proposes a suitablemodel.The integrity,security,and confidentiality of data transmitted across the IIoT network can be ensured by automating machine learning processes in the IDS to enhance its capacity to identify and stop threatening activities.With a comprehensive solution that takes advantage of the latest advances in automated machine learning methods to improve network security,AID4I is a powerful and effective instrument for intrusion detection.In preprocessing module,three distinct imputation methods are utilized to handle missing data,ensuring the robustness of the intrusion detection system in the presence of incomplete information.Feature selection module adopts a hybrid approach that combines Shapley values and genetic algorithm.The Parameter Optimization module encompasses a diverse set of 14 classification methods,allowing for thorough exploration and optimization of the parameters associated with each algorithm.By carefully tuning these parameters,the framework enhances its adaptability and accuracy in identifying potential intrusions.Experimental results demonstrate that the AID4I framework can achieve high levels of accuracy in detecting network intrusions up to 14.39%on public datasets,outperforming traditional intrusion detection methods while concurrently reducing the elapsed time for training and testing.

文摘To address the problem of network security situation assessment in the Industrial Internet,this paper adopts the evidential reasoning(ER)algorithm and belief rule base(BRB)method to establish an assessment model.First,this paper analyzes the influencing factors of the Industrial Internet and selects evaluation indicators that contain not only quantitative data but also qualitative knowledge.Second,the evaluation indicators are fused with expert knowledge and the ER algorithm.According to the fusion results,a network security situation assessment model of the Industrial Internet based on the ER and BRB method is established,and the projection covariance matrix adaptive evolution strategy(P-CMA-ES)is used to optimize the model parameters.This method can not only utilize semiquantitative information effectively but also use more uncertain information and prevent the problem of combinatorial explosion.Moreover,it solves the problem of the uncertainty of expert knowledge and overcomes the problem of low modeling accuracy caused by insufficient data.Finally,a network security situation assessment case of the Industrial Internet is analyzed to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the method.The research results showthat this method has strong applicability to the network security situation assessment of complex Industrial Internet systems.It can accurately reflect the actual network security situation of Industrial Internet systems and provide safe and reliable suggestions for network administrators to take timely countermeasures,thereby improving the risk monitoring and emergency response capabilities of the Industrial Internet.
文摘The evolution of the Internet of Things(IoT)has empowered modern industries with the capability to implement large-scale IoT ecosystems,such as the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT).The IIoT is vulnerable to a diverse range of cyberattacks that can be exploited by intruders and cause substantial reputational andfinancial harm to organizations.To preserve the confidentiality,integrity,and availability of IIoT networks,an anomaly-based intrusion detection system(IDS)can be used to provide secure,reliable,and efficient IIoT ecosystems.In this paper,we propose an anomaly-based IDS for IIoT networks as an effective security solution to efficiently and effectively overcome several IIoT cyberattacks.The proposed anomaly-based IDS is divided into three phases:pre-processing,feature selection,and classification.In the pre-processing phase,data cleaning and nor-malization are performed.In the feature selection phase,the candidates’feature vectors are computed using two feature reduction techniques,minimum redun-dancy maximum relevance and neighborhood components analysis.For thefinal step,the modeling phase,the following classifiers are used to perform the classi-fication:support vector machine,decision tree,k-nearest neighbors,and linear discriminant analysis.The proposed work uses a new data-driven IIoT data set called X-IIoTID.The experimental evaluation demonstrates our proposed model achieved a high accuracy rate of 99.58%,a sensitivity rate of 99.59%,a specificity rate of 99.58%,and a low false positive rate of 0.4%.
文摘With the development and widespread use of blockchain in recent years,many projects have introduced blockchain technology to solve the growing security issues of the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT).However,due to the conflict between the operational performance and security of the blockchain system and the compatibility issues with a large number of IIoT devices running together,the mainstream blockchain system cannot be applied to IIoT scenarios.In order to solve these problems,this paper proposes SBFT(Speculative Byzantine Consensus Protocol),a flexible and scalable blockchain consensus mechanism for the Industrial Internet of Things.SBFT has a consensus process based on speculation,improving the throughput and consensus speed of blockchain systems and reducing communication overhead.In order to improve the compatibility and scalability of the blockchain system,we select some nodes to participate in the consensus,and these nodes have better performance in the network.Since multiple properties determine node performance,we abstract the node selection problem as a joint optimization problem and use Dueling Deep Q Learning(DQL)to solve it.Finally,we evaluate the performance of the scheme through simulation,and the simulation results prove the superiority of our scheme.
文摘Localisation of machines in harsh Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)environment is necessary for various applications.Therefore,a novel localisation algorithm is proposed for noisy range measurements in IIoT networks.The position of an unknown machine device in the network is estimated using the relative distances between blind machines(BMs)and anchor machines(AMs).Moreover,a more practical and challenging scenario with the erroneous position of AM is considered,which brings additional uncertainty to the final position estimation.Therefore,the AMs selection algorithm for the localisation of BMs in the IIoT network is introduced.Only those AMs will participate in the localisation process,which increases the accuracy of the final location estimate.Then,the closed‐form expression of the proposed greedy successive anchorization process is derived,which prevents possible local convergence,reduces computation,and achieves Cramér‐Rao lower bound accuracy for white Gaussian measurement noise.The results are compared with the state‐of‐the‐art and verified through numerous simulations.
文摘The rapid growth of the Internet of Things(IoT)in the industrial sector has given rise to a new term:the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT).The IIoT is a collection of devices,apps,and services that connect physical and virtual worlds to create smart,cost-effective,and scalable systems.Although the IIoT has been implemented and incorporated into a wide range of industrial control systems,maintaining its security and privacy remains a significant concern.In the IIoT contexts,an intrusion detection system(IDS)can be an effective security solution for ensuring data confidentiality,integrity,and availability.In this paper,we propose an intelligent intrusion detection technique that uses principal components analysis(PCA)as a feature engineering method to choose the most significant features,minimize data dimensionality,and enhance detection performance.In the classification phase,we use clustering algorithms such as K-medoids and K-means to determine whether a given flow of IIoT traffic is normal or attack for binary classification and identify the group of cyberattacks according to its specific type for multi-class classification.To validate the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed model,we validate the detection method on a new driven IIoT dataset called X-IIoTID.The performance results showed our proposed detection model obtained a higher accuracy rate of 99.79%and reduced error rate of 0.21%when compared to existing techniques.

文摘In many IIoT architectures,various devices connect to the edge cloud via gateway systems.For data processing,numerous data are delivered to the edge cloud.Delivering data to an appropriate edge cloud is critical to improve IIoT service efficiency.There are two types of costs for this kind of IoT network:a communication cost and a computing cost.For service efficiency,the communication cost of data transmission should be minimized,and the computing cost in the edge cloud should be also minimized.Therefore,in this paper,the communication cost for data transmission is defined as the delay factor,and the computing cost in the edge cloud is defined as the waiting time of the computing intensity.The proposed method selects an edge cloud that minimizes the total cost of the communication and computing costs.That is,a device chooses a routing path to the selected edge cloud based on the costs.The proposed method controls the data flows in a mesh-structured network and appropriately distributes the data processing load.The performance of the proposed method is validated through extensive computer simulation.When the transition probability from good to bad is 0.3 and the transition probability from bad to good is 0.7 in wireless and edge cloud states,the proposed method reduced both the average delay and the service pause counts to about 25%of the existing method.

文摘The Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)has been growing for presentations in industry in recent years.Security for the IIoT has unavoidably become a problem in terms of creating safe applications.Due to continual needs for new functionality,such as foresight,the number of linked devices in the industrial environment increases.Certification of fewer signatories gives strong authentication solutions and prevents trustworthy third parties from being publicly certified among available encryption instruments.Hence this blockchain-based endpoint protection platform(BCEPP)has been proposed to validate the network policies and reduce overall latency in isolation or hold endpoints.A resolver supports the encoded model as an input;network functions can be optimized as an output in an infrastructure network.The configuration of the virtual network functions(VNFs)involved fulfills network characteristics.The output ensures that the final service is supplied at the least cost,including processing time and network latency.According to the findings of this comparison,our design is better suited to simplified trust management in IIoT devices.Thus,the experimental results show the adaptability and resilience of our suggested confidence model against behavioral changes in hostile settings in IIoT networks.The experimental results show that our proposed method,BCEPP,has the following,when compared to other methods:high computational cost of 95.3%,low latency ratio of 28.5%,increased data transmitting rate up to 94.1%,enhanced security rate of 98.6%,packet reception ratio of 96.1%,user satisfaction index of 94.5%,and probability ratio of 33.8%.
