Exploring influential spreaders and predicting missing links in complex networks is essential for understanding and effectively controlling network dynamics. This paper presents a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN)-based link prediction method to estimate the probability of future link formation. We incorporate node features that capture local and global topological connectivity structures and feed these into the GCN model, where convolutional layers aggregate neighboring information and transform node features. This approach enables the model to capture structural patterns by integrating local and global information from neighboring nodes. In the final layer, the GCN model computes a prediction score representing the likelihood of an edge’s existence, using insights gained during training. Finally, considering the predicted links, we update the network structure and introduce a novel centrality method called Emerging Spreader Centrality (ESC) to identify emerging spreaders within this augmented network. We conduct two separate experiments to evaluate the performance of the GCN-based link prediction and the ESC method, comparing their effectiveness with various state-of-the-art methods. Results demonstrate that our approach not only effectively predicts future links but also identifies emerging spreaders in the augmented networks.

IEEE 802.11be, the seventh-generation wireless protocol, will be released soon and will perform better than IEEE 802.11ax, the sixth-generation wireless technology. The performance of competing wireless protocols at the same operating frequency—5 GHz—is reviewed in this study. We use Network Simulator (NS-3) as a simulation tool that offers flexibility, shorter setup time, and makes it easy to experiment for any scenario we need to do. Furthermore, this paper focuses on analyzing and comparing the throughput of the IEEE 802.11be (Extremely High Throughput MCS) (EhtMcs) and 802.11ax (High Efficiency MCS) (HeMcs) protocols with different client counts and specific payload sizes. Spatial flow, channel width, Guard Interval (GI), Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), and simulation duration are among the other parameters that are set to certain values. Simulation results show that the IEEE 802.11be Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS-13) protocol has better throughput performance than the IEEE 802.11ax Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS-11) with many clients. In the simulation, the access point node is accessed from 2 to 128 clients. Simulation results show that in every situation, IEEE 802.11be performs better than IEEE 802.11ax. Wi-Fi 7 achieves up to 18 percent higher throughput for lower client counts and up to 35 percent higher throughput in scenarios with 64 to 128 clients, demonstrating its enhanced efficiency and reliability for high-density networks.

The presence of Pulse Power Loads (PPLs) in the Notional Shipboard Power System (SPS) presents a challenge in the form of meeting their high ramp rate requirements. Considering the ramp rate limitations on the generators, this might hinder the power flow in the grid. Failure to meet the ramp rate requirements might cause instability. Aggregating generators with energy storage elements usually addresses the ramp requirements while ensuring the power demand is achieved. This paper proposes an energy management strategy that adaptively splits the power demand between the generators and the batteries while simultaneously considering the battery degradation and the generator’s efficient operation. Since it is challenging to incorporate the battery degradation model directly into the optimization problem due to its complex structure and the degradation time scale which is not practical for real-time implementation, two reasonable heuristics in terms of minimizing the absolute battery power and minimizing the battery state of charge are proposed and compared to manage the battery degradation. A model predictive energy management strategy is then developed to coordinate the power split considering the generator efficiency and minimizing the battery degradation based on the two heuristic approaches. The designed strategy is tested via a simulation of a lumped notional shipboard power system. The results show the impact of the battery degradation heuristics for energy management strategy in mitigating battery degradation and its health management.

Among the many industrial wireless solution candidates, 5G New Radio (NR) has drawn significant attention in recent years due to its capabilities to support ultra-high-speed communication, ultra-low latency, and massive connectivity. Despite its great potential, 5G NR also brings significant complexity in scheduling industrial data flows to meet their hard real-time requirements. In this paper, we first leverage a real-world 5G RAN testbed to benchmark the downlink throughput and explore the impact of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selection on the network performance. We then formulate a real-time flow scheduling problem in industrial 5G NR, which features per-flow real-time schedulability guarantees through time-frequency-space resource allocation. We propose a novel two-phase scheduling framework, named 5G-TPS, to construct the schedule that meets the deadlines of all the flows. To adapt to dynamic channel conditions, 5G-TPS enables online schedule adjustment for affected flows to meet their timing requirements. To evaluate the performance of 5G-TPS, we present a case study of a motion control panel use case and perform extensive experiments. The results show that 5G-TPS can achieve schedulability ratios comparable to the Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT)-based exact solution and outperform many other state-of-the-art scheduling approaches, including the built-in 5G NR schedulers.
