Description

Abstract. A wide variety of work has been down in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications to enable various applications for road safety, traffic efficiency and passenger infotainment. Although IEEE 802.11p used to be considered as the main technology for V2X, new research trends nowadays are considering cellular technology as the future of V2X due to its rapid development and ubiquitous presence. This tutorial surveys the recent development and challenges on 4G LTE and 5G mobile wireless networks to support efficient V2X communications. In the first part, we highlight the technical motivations of 4G LTE for V2X communications. In the second part, we explore the LTE V2X architecture and operating scenarios being considered. In the third part, we discuss the challenges and the new trends in 4G and 5G for supporting V2X communications such as physical layer structure, synchronization, resource allocation, security, multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS), as well as possible solutions to these challenges. Finally, we discuss some open research issues for future 5G based V2X communications.

Description

Abstract. Data-driven network intelligence will offer a robust, efficient, and effective computing system for anomaly detection in cyber security applications. In this talk, we first summarize the current development and challenges of network intelligence for anomaly detection. Based on the current development, we present a data-driven intelligence system for network anomaly detection. With the support of extended computing, storage, and other resources to the network edge, fog computing is incorporated into the design of the system. The proposed system consists of three types of major components: edge enabled infrastructure, AI engines and decision platforms. Edge enabled infrastructure provides efficient and effective computing resources for parallel computing and data storage. AI engines produce optimal learning models for threat detection, and enable online machine learning for efficient model update. Decision platforms offer real-time network monitoring, anomaly detection, and threat mitigation. We demonstrate that the envisioned data-driven network intelligence system achieves high detection accuracy, and provides robust computational performance for cyber security.
