The use of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is a promising technology in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) to improve safety and driving efficiency. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology enables communication among vehicles and other infrastructures. However, AVs and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) are vulnerable to different types of cyber-attacks such as denial of service, spoofing, and sniffing attacks. In this paper, an intelligent intrusion detection system (IDS) is proposed based on tree-structure machine learning models. The results from the implementation of the proposed intrusion detection system on standard data sets indicate that the system has the ability to identify various cyber-attacks in the AV networks. Furthermore, the proposed ensemble learning and feature selection approaches enable the proposed system to achieve high detection rate and low computational cost simultaneously.

Modern vehicles, including connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles, nowadays involve many electronic control units connected through intra-vehicle networks to implement various functionalities and perform actions. Modern vehicles are also connected to external networks through vehicle-toeverything technologies, enabling their communications with other vehicles, infrastructures, and smart devices. However, the improving functionality and connectivity of modern vehicles also increase their vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks targeting both intra-vehicle and external networks due to the large attack surfaces. To secure vehicular networks, many researchers have focused on developing intrusion detection systems (IDSs) that capitalize on machine learning methods to detect malicious cyberattacks. In this paper, the vulnerabilities of intra-vehicle and external networks are discussed, and a multi-tiered hybrid IDS that incorporates a signature-based IDS and an anomaly-based IDS is proposed to detect both known and unknown attacks on vehicular networks. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed system can detect various types of known attacks with 99.99% accuracy on the CAN-intrusion-dataset representing the intra-vehicle network data and 99.88% accuracy on the CICIDS2017 dataset illustrating the external vehicular network data. For the zero-day attack detection, the proposed system achieves high F1-scores of 0.963 and 0.800 on the above two datasets, respectively. The average processing time of each data packet on a vehicle-level machine is less than 0.6 ms, which shows the feasibility of implementing the proposed system in real-time vehicle systems. This emphasizes the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed IDS.

Abstract-In a cognitive (secondary) multiple-access network which is subject to interference power constraints imposed by a primary system, it is desirable to mitigate the interference on the primary and to harvest multiuser diversity gains in the secondary. To simultaneously achieve these goals, a twostep (hybrid) scheduling method is proposed that pre-selects a set of secondary users based on their interference on the primary, and from among them selects the user(s) that yield the highest secondary throughput. The optimal number of active secondary transmitters is characterized as a function of the primary interference constraint, the secondary transmit power, and the number of secondary transmitters . The secondary sumrate (throughput) of the proposed algorithm grows optimally (proportional to log ). We investigate the tradeoff between scaling the secondary throughput and reducing interference on the primary, and characterize the optimum tradeoff in the regime of large . Finally, we study user scheduling under fairness constraints, which is necessary when the channel statistics of secondary nodes are not identical. A modified hybrid scheduling rule is proposed to ensure user fairness, while still achieving the optimal growth rate for the secondary throughput.

Community detection aims to partition network nodes into a set of clusters, such that nodes are more densely connected to each other within the same cluster than other clusters. For attributed networks, apart from the denseness requirement of topology structure, the attributes of nodes in the same community should also be homogeneous. Network embedding has been proved extremely useful in a variety of tasks, such as node classification, link prediction, and graph visualization, but few works dedicated to unsupervised embedding of node features specified for clustering task, which is vital for community detection and graph clustering. By post-processing with clustering algorithms like k -means, most existing network embedding methods can be applied to clustering tasks. However, the learned embeddings are not designed for clustering task, they only learn topological and attributed information of networks, and no clustering-oriented information is explored. In this article, we propose an algorithm named Network Embedding for node Clustering (NEC) to learn network embedding for node clustering in attributed graphs. Specifically, the presented work introduces a framework that simultaneously learns graph structure-based representations and clustering-oriented representations together. The framework consists of the following three modules: graph convolutional autoencoder module, soft modularity maximization module, and self-clustering module. Graph convolutional autoencoder module learns node embeddings based on topological structure and node attributes. We introduce soft modularity, which can be easily optimized using gradient descent algorithms, to exploit the community structure of networks. By integrating clustering loss and embedding loss, NEC can jointly optimize node cluster labels assignment and learn representations that keep local structure of network. This model can be effectively optimized using stochastic gradient algorithm. Empirical experiments on real-world networks and synthetic networks validate the feasibility and effectiveness of our algorithm on community detection task compared with network embedding based methods and traditional community detection methods.
