With the development of intelligent transportation system (ITS) and vehicle to X (V2X), the connected vehicle is capable of sensing a great deal of useful traffic information, such as queue length at intersections. Aiming to solve the problem of existing models’ complexity and information redundancy, this paper proposes a queue length sensing model based on V2X technology, which consists of two sub-models based on shockwave sensing and back propagation (BP) neural network sensing. First, the model obtains state information of the connected vehicles and analyzes the formation process of the queue, and then it calculates the velocity of the shockwave to predict the queue length of the subsequent unconnected vehicles. Then, the neural network is trained with historical connected vehicle data, and a sub-model based on the BP neural network is established to predict the real-time queue length. Finally, the final queue length at the intersection is determined by combining the sub-models by variable weight. Simulation results show that the sensing accuracy of the combined model is proportional to the penetration rate of connected vehicles, and sensing of queue length can be achieved even in low penetration rate environments. In mixed traffic environments of connected vehicles and unconnected vehicles, the queuing length sensing model proposed in this paper has higher performance than the probability distribution (PD) model when the penetration rate is low, and it has an almost equivalent performance with higher penetration rate while the penetration rate is not needed. The proposed sensing model is more applicable for mixed traffic scenarios with much looser conditions.

Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) is increasingly popular with the widespread usage of multihomed devices. MPTCP allows data streams to be delivered across multiple simultaneous connections, providing higher bandwidth aggregation and throughput in comparison with single-path TCP. However, due to the path heterogeneity and packet losses, the occurrence of Out-of-Order (OFO) packets is inevitable for MPTCP. Although many approaches have been proposed to mitigate OFO, most of them focused on compensating path delay differences but not considered the impact of packet loss. In this paper, we take the first step towards analyzing the impact of packet loss on OFO, and propose Loss-Aware Throughput Estimation scheduler, LATE. LATE comprehensively considers each subflow's path characteristics and protocol parameters including Round Trip Time (RTT), congestion window (cwnd), and loss rate, to predict the data amount that can be sent over each subflow at a given time and determine wisely which segments should be allocated to which subflows. Experimental results show that LATE achieves a gain of 5.13% in mean goodput with long-lasting flows while reducing the completion time of short flows by about 26.68% compared to the state-of-the-art scheduler for MPTCP.

Large-scale sewage treatment plants are one of the typical Industrial Internet of Things systems, where the presence of a large number of sensors generates massive dynamic time series data, and such multivariate time series data are usually time-dependent and random. Therefore, there is a certain risk when fitting the potential anomalies of real-world data, which will bring great challenges to anomaly detection. In this article, we propose a time-series mutual adversarial network (TMAN), a novel reconstruction model for anomaly detection on multivariate time series. It is based on the idea of adversarial learning and consists of two identical subnetworks. During the training process, two subnetworks can independently complete the learning of the time distribution of normal samples of industrial time series data for mutual adversarial. In the process of detecting, we obtain the residual values of TMAN reconstructed for different time series samples to discriminate anomalies. We combine TMAN and anomaly determination mechanisms to build a new industrial time series anomaly detection framework named TMANomaly. In addition, we select the dataset features with a grey correlation algorithm to achieve very high performance with a small number of features. Experimental results show that our proposed TMANomaly outperforms five popular anomaly detection methods and effectively improves the accuracy of industrial multivariate time series anomaly detection.

In mobile edge computing (MEC), task offloading and resource allocation are two important issues that are inextricably linked. However, existing studies have either ignored the mobility of mobile users (MUs) during task offloading or the allocation of profits between two parties during the allocation of limited resources (i.e., the resource competition). In this paper, we jointly optimized these two problems. First, to reduce the task offloading delay and the service interruption due to movement, we develop a mobility-aware model, based on which we propose the MWBS algorithm to select the appropriate offloading base station (BS) for MUs. Second, considering the resource competition and the delay constraint of the task, we develop a double auction model and then propose the DARA algorithm, which efficiently allocates the BS resources and maximizes the total system revenue (i.e., social welfare) through a multi-session auction. Finally, we combine MWBS and DARA to propose the BS resource allocation algorithm called MD-BSRA in mobile scenarios. Simulation results show that MD-BSRA can effectively improve task offload success rate, total system revenue and resource utilization while reducing offload delay and service interruption.
