Intelligent network management system for solving the problem of offline monitoring 5G technologies

Maintenance and management of fourth-generation (4G) current networks are still done manually and semi-automatically, which is expensive and time-consuming. This poses a major challenge for network management of disparate, software-defined, and virtualized fifth-generation (5G) systems. Fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks include a wide variety of technologies to address very different uses. Assessing these technologies and exploring future alternatives is complicated by relying solely on network administrators. 5G network intelligence is an important alternative to network administrators. With the advent of network intelligence for the 5G system opens the possibility of intelligent control. Without the intervention of administrators, the new approach can autonomously solve network problems, cyberattacks and inefficient use of resources, which in turn can reduce operating costs, improve user experience and reduce the time to market of new services. This work presents a test bench of a 5G mobile network with a virtualized and organized structure that focuses on integration into artificial intelligence programs. The presented test bench uses open-source technologies for deployment and orchestration of virtual network functions for flexible creation of various scenarios of mobile networks with clear topologies of frontal and feedback. The article explains how to deploy the structure of the test bench and reproduce the presented results with the provided algorithms and presents the recommended architecture, functionality, closed control, algorithms that include network intelligence. An intelligent 5G test bench has been installed, and experimental results confirm the feasibility and effectiveness.

Automatic System of Illumination of the Territory of the Enterprise

The work is devoted to the development of an intelligent lighting control system for adjacent territories.Every day more and more popular is the use of led lamps, they are more economical from outdated gas-discharge lamps or incandescent lamps, which are now commonly used. For comparison, a 40W incandescent lamp has a luminous flux of 400 lumens, the same luminous flux has a 5W led lamp. There are many outdoor lighting network management systems that have a wide range of management capabilities. The most common ones are LonWorks, DMX-512, DALI, DCI. They usually use motion sensors, light sensors, time relays, and other automation elements, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. These advantages and disadvantages have been analyzed in terms of application in the system being developed. The main requirements for the system were economic and ease of use. Taking into account these requirements, the existing methods of street lighting management and systems based on them were considered.A block diagram of the lighting control system for the adjacent territories of the enterprise was developed, which is shown in figure Fig. 1. The system is a network whose nodes are connected by a simple digital data bus DB. The digital data bus can be wired, wireless, or optical. Each network node consists of: an MSi motion sensor, an LLi led lamp, a microcontroller with a built-in MCi real-time clock, a light-sensitive LSI sensor, and IUI interface blocks. The light-sensitive sensor can be installed in one place, provided that the level of natural light in the coverage area of each local lighting system is approximately the same. When the level of external natural light decreases below a certain critical level, the light-sensitive sensor sends a signal to the microcontroller to turn on the local lighting system, after which each local zone is illuminated with individual specified parameters of the glow power. When the motion sensor is activated in the local area of the lighting system, the lamp switches to high power mode. Thanks to a real-time microcontroller, the moment when an object appears in this zone is recorded. As the object moves, it enters the coverage area of another local lighting system where the network uses a built-in real-time clock to record the moment when the object appears in another zone, this information is transmitted via a digital bus to the system, from which we can determine the direction of movement of the object.Based on the developed block diagram and based on the requirements for the system being developed, a microcontroller from the STM family was selected. This family of microcontrollers, due to their performance, architecture and low power consumption, is best suited for working with the hardware of the system being developed.

AIT: An AI-Enabled Trust Management System for Vehicular Networks Using Blockchain Technology

Currently, connected vehicles have gradually stepped into our daily lives, and they generally rely on vehicular networks to generate and exchange traffic-related messages to improve the overall travel safety and efficiency. However, due to the open nature of vehicular networks, these traffic-related messages could be erroneous, which may be caused by various reasons, ranging from an onboard device (OBD) sensor malfunctioning and reporting incorrect reading to the message being tampered by a malicious vehicle. To address these rapidly increasing security challenges, we have proposed an AI-enabled trust management system (AIT) in this article, which is an AI-enabled trust management system for vehicular networks using the blockchain technique. In the AIT system, each vehicle first senses, generates, and exchanges messages with other vehicles. These messages then get validated by the neighboring vehicles. As vehicles receive and validate messages from other nearby vehicles, they will establish and manage the trust of those nearby vehicles, which is enabled by utilizing the deep learning algorithm. Once a vehicle identifies untrustworthy vehicles, it reports them to the nearby roadside unit (RSU), and the RSU will validate the authenticity of the report as well as the identity of the vehicle by using the emerging blockchain technique. The security credentials of untrustworthy vehicles will then be revoked by the RSU. We have conducted an extensive experimental study to evaluate the AIT system. Simulation results clearly indicate that AIT performs better than existing approaches and can manage the trust of vehicles and detect malicious ones in an accurate and efficient manner.

IMPLEMENTASI NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ( NMS ) MENGGUNAKAN PANDORA FMS DI PT. SAMUDRA MARINE INDONESIA

PT. Samudra Marine Indonesia (SMI) has a network where all users are connected to one computer, and a computer (server) with a network concept like this can affect the performance of RAM, processors and hard drives, due to frequent occurrence of computers on computer users always slow and the hard disk capacity is starting to full sometimes there are also computers that suddenly disconnect from the network. However, the IT technician does not know what is happening to the user's computer because the IT technician room is very far away from the SMI 2 building due to different buildings.So we need a system with the concept of Network Management System (NMS) which functions as a supervisor for the state of the server computer or client computer so that it can be handled quickly.

Supervised and Semi-Supervised Learning for Failure Identification in Microwave Networks

Automated failure-cause identification in communication networks allows operators to reduce service unavailability. Once the most likely failure root-cause is identified, appropriate countermeasures can be effectively put in place (e.g., by choosing an in-field intervention vs. a remote equipment reconfiguration). In this article, we describe a successful application of Machine Learning (ML) for automatic failure identification in microwave networks based on the real-field data. On microwave links, different heterogeneous causes (e.g., adverse atmospheric conditions, or obstacles) lead to service unavailability and produce not easily-distinguishable degradation effects on the transmission parameters. Hence, failure identification is traditionally accomplished by domain experts via direct inspection of transmission-parameter logs. As a first contribution, we identify six categories of failure causes in microwave networks and show that supervised ML enables very accurate failure identification, hence significantly simplifying failure troubleshooting. Comparing various ML algorithms, we find that up to 93% classification accuracy is obtained using real-field labeled datasets with 2513 points. One main hindrance to the application of supervised learning is that, in real network deployments, limited amount of labeled data is available for training, as manual labeling is performed by domain experts based on their knowledge and experience. On the other hand, collecting unlabeled data is relatively simple as network management systems retrieve large amounts of unlabeled information automatically. As a second contribution, we investigate an automated labeling procedure, based on autoencoders-like Artificial Neural Networks, to combine the knowledge of the few manually-labeled data with large unlabeled data. Results show that our data augmentation based on autoencoders can slightly improve failure-cause identification only when Artificial Neural Networks or Support Vector Machines are used, while accuracy slightly decreases when adopting Random Forest.

METHODS OF CORPORATE INFORMATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ON THE BASIS OF OPTIMAL CONTROL THEORY

To manage corporate information systems that include a large number of active equipment, you need complex systems that monitor, control and manage each element and state of the system as a whole. Finding the optimal delineation of both the functions of the central part of the SU and the management functions of the autonomous segment, and the actual division into autonomous segments is important because it directly affects the efficiency of management. The question of the optimal management of the information system as a whole is still unresolved. Therefore, the development of a method of information system management using the theory of optimal control is appropriate and relevant. For corporate information systems, optimal management should provide a minimum criterion of optimality under given constraints. That is, the minimum cost of control (control signals in the form of protocols). It should also be borne in mind that not every optimal solution, synthesized theoretically, can be implemented in practice on the basis of the existing prior art. The theory of automatic optimal control in its traditional forms cannot be the only basis of the network management system. It should be integrated with other promising areas, such as artificial intelligence systems and a methodology for describing complex under-formalized systems. The method of corporate information system management based on the theory of optimal management assumes that the first stage in the sequence of receiving, storing and processing information in the system is the stage of determining (recognizing) the state using image recognition methods. The next stages of the proposed method are the formation of a strategy for optimal management, development and implementation of management actions based on it using existing protocols. On the basis of the developed method the general structural scheme of SU by the information system consisting of several autonomous segments is offered and protocols for its realization are resulted and defined.

Command filtered finite-time control for nonlinear systems with state constraints and its application to TCP network

This work studies the issue of finite-time tracking control for a class of nonlinear systems with state constraints. By means of command filtered backstepping technique, finite-time theory and Barrier Lyapunov Functions (BLF), a novel finite-time command filtered backstepping approach is presented to guarantee the finite-time convergence of tracking errors. The new proposed method can not only reduce the complexity of computation of the conventional backstepping control and compensate filtered errors by Dynamic Surface Control (DSC), but also can guarantee that the state variables are restricted in compact bounding sets. Moreover, the proposed controller is designed and applied to Transmission Control Protocol/Active Queue Management (TCP/AQM) network systems, which guarantees the practical boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system. Finally, the effectiveness and practicability of the developed control strategy are validated by a TCP network simulation example.

Flow-based anomaly intrusion detection using machine learning model with software defined networking for OpenFlow network

Moving towards recent technologies, Software Defined Networking (SDN) produces a promising network framework to combine the overall network management system with network programming. It gives a more effective tracking system towards the data center. By centralized system and symmetric controller, it prevents security cracks from creating new threats during OpenFlow packet transmission with vulnerabilities. It creates more interest to the researchers to work towards Flow-based SDN for the priority-driven algorithm in anomaly intruder detection. In this paper, we made a study towards a priority-based model using SDN to control the flow of data packets over the network, gives assurance to the bandwidth enforcement, and reallocation is made through virtual circuits. The network behavior of the system is continuously monitored through the machine learning model for normal and abnormal traffic data transmission to detect anomaly intruders. Flow-based machine learning (ML) model with SDN act as an intelligent system to limits the throughput virtually through the flow of reserved bandwidth and make use of extra bandwidth, which presents more than the utilization bandwidth for priority-based applications with minimal cost while compared with the traditional methods. The proposed work also compared with the schemes available at the network to produce outcomes with fast routing and the fault tolerance of existing networks to overcome the gap open at the security of the SDN architecture to detect and identify vulnerabilities.

Bayesian bootstrap quantile regression for probabilistic photovoltaic power forecasting

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely spread across MV and LV distribution systems and the penetration of PV generation is solidly growing. Because of the uncertain nature of the solar energy resource, PV power forecasting models are crucial in any energy management system for smart distribution networks. Although point forecasts can suit many scopes, probabilistic forecasts add further flexibility to an energy management system and are recommended to enable a wider range of decision making and optimization strategies. This paper proposes methodology towards probabilistic PV power forecasting based on a Bayesian bootstrap quantile regression model, in which a Bayesian bootstrap is applied to estimate the parameters of a quantile regression model. A novel procedure is presented to optimize the extraction of the predictive quantiles from the bootstrapped estimation of the related coefficients, raising the predictive ability of the final forecasts. Numerical experiments based on actual data quantify an enhancement of the performance of up to 2.2% when compared to relevant benchmarks.

Machine Learning assisted aggregation schemes for optical cross-connect in hybrid electrical/optical data center networks

Making optical circuit switching suitable for handling highly dynamic and profoundly changing traffic is a considerable challenge. This motivation drives the development of a hybrid electrical/optical network towards high bandwidth and low latency. Compared with the traditional non-aggregation scheme, we provide two machine learning assisted aggregation schemes. The first one is to design optical cross-connect switches to increase the throughput of the circuit-switched network. In this solution, the optical cross-connect serves both delay-sensitive traffic flows and delay-tolerant traffic flows. As the network throughput rises rapidly, the number of ports of the optical switch remains unchanged. The second scheme is to add small port counts, which maximizes throughput while relaxing the requirements for accurate machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we have a set of four machine learning algorithms, and only the most suitable one is selected at a time. We deploy a machine learning algorithm at edge nodes instead of a central network management system. Therefore, we can simultaneously reduce network overhead and latency. Both aggregation schemes outperform the traditional non-aggregation scheme in terms of throughput, delay, and flow completion time.
