Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected devices and networks that provides autonomous functioning capability. Increasing expansion rate of IoT system in diverse set of domains has resulted in inclination of associated risks as well. This research paper presents classification of assets which are part of IoT system, identify platform-independent threats, and consolidate potential solutions to secure the IoT system from threats. Various researchers have conducted studies which are focused on specific industry/domain. Therefore, there is an inevitable necessity to present generalized assessment of IoT system and associated threats, irrespective of the industry or domain. In addition, this research presents prioritization, in terms of criticality, of IoT assets and threats that will enable stakeholders to identify the items that are crucial and items that can be ignored considering the low priority. This would enable researchers and stakeholders of IoT system (such as policy makers, end-users, manufacturers, and security experts etc. to have a deeper understanding of the implications and have an insight on solutions/recommendations in a broad-spectrum. Survey findings showed that DDoS (distributed denial of service), privacy attack, and information modification are the top three threats in terms of criticality ranking. A generalized (industry-independent) set of recommendations have been consolidated based on literature analysis and survey findings in three categories, which are related to policies, organizational measures, and technical measures.

With flexibility in maneuverability and remarkable adaptability, airborne bistatic radar system can obtain excellent detection performance for high-speed target by employing coherent integration. However, range migration (RM) and Doppler frequency migration (DFM) could become serious issues due to the relative motion characteristics of airborne platforms and high-speed target. Meanwhile, various unpredictable factors such as atmospheric turbulence and mechanical issues, etc., resulting in additional motion errors, would have further negative impacts on motion state and flight trajectory of airborne platforms. This phenomenon would serious consequence on coherent integration and target detection. Thus, we make contributions to tackle these limitations and enhance coherent integration and detection performance. First, we establish signal model with high-speed target in three-dimensional (3-D) space for airborne bistatic radar system, along with motion error model which simultaneously includes translational error and rotational error. Next, we articulate range history's mathematical expression and further derive echo signal model. We then propose an improved generalized Radon Fourier transform (IGRFT) method. More specifically, the purpose of IGRFT is achieving joint search for the parameters of the target motion and the parameters of motion error, to ensure high precision parameter estimation and high gain integration. However, the computational complexity surges due to the increasing of search dimensionality. To devise computationally feasible methods for practical applications, we split the high-dimensional maximization process into two disjoint problems by sequentially searching motion parameters and then motion error parameters, and this method is named GRT (generalized Radon transform)-IGRFT. Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithms can correctly estimate parameters and achieve signal integration and target detection. Finally, we present performanc

G cellular networks have achieved significant improvements in capacity and performance, while they have incurred a substantial increase in energy consumption at the base station (BS) level. To address this escalating energy consumption in dense 5G networks, this paper proposes a decentralized federated learning (DFL)-enhanced Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework for intelligent BS switching. Our approach leverages the distributed nature of 5G networks to collaboratively learn optimal BS on/off policies without centralized control. By combining DFL with DRL, we enable efficient knowledge sharing among BSs while maintaining privacy and reducing communication overhead. The cost function designed in this paper aims to balance energy savings as well as Quality of Service ($\mathbf{Q o S}$) requirements. Moreover, to enhance exploration and accelerate convergence, we incorporate an exploration network into the DRL agent and adopt a novel approach of model training. Performed simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework in achieving significant energy reduction of over 23% and total cost of 19%, while maintaining satisfactory QoS performance compared to the existing methods.

A swarm of miniature robots comprises mini-robots collaborating to achieve common goals, inspired by the collective behavior of insects. This concept mimics decentralized cooperation, enabling complex task accomplishment across various fields such as healthcare, exploration, and rescue missions. Mini-robots operate in confined spaces and time frames with minimal energy, requiring efficient path planning to prevent collisions within their group and surroundings. Integrating ultra-low-power electronics in these robots is essential. Memristors, renowned for their low power consumption, simplicity, and high integration density, hold significant promise. This paper proposes an integrated collision avoidance memristive circuit with neuromorphic behavior for miniature robots. This circuit not only enhances swarm efficiency but also lays the groundwork for fully analog mini-robots.

Gradient coding is a distributed computing technique aiming to provide robustness against slow or non-responsive computing nodes, known as stragglers, while balancing the computational load for responsive computing nodes. Among existing gradient codes, a construction based on combinatorial designs, called BIBD gradient code, achieves the best trade-off between robustness and computational load in the worst-case adversarial straggler setting. However, the range of system parameters for which BIBD gradient codes exist is limited. In this paper, we overcome this limitation and propose a new probabilistic gradient code, termed Sparse Gaussian (SG) gradient code. The encoding matrix of the proposed SG gradient code is generated from a carefully chosen correlated multivariate Gaussian distribution, masked by Bernoulli random variables to reduce computational load. With high probability, the proposed gradient code achieves a similar worst-case error performance compared to the BIBD gradient code (when such a code of the same parameters exists) and outperforms several other existing gradient codes, including Fractional Repetition gradient codes and Bernoulli gradient codes. Moreover, it further extends the range of system parameters over existing BIBD and soft BIBD gradient codes, making it a promising solution for distributed computing tasks.
