Wireless Mesh Network (MWN) could be divided into proactive routing, reactive routing and hybrid routing, which must satisfy the requirements related to scalability, reliability, flexibility, throughput, load balancing, congestion control and efficiency. DMN (Directional Mesh Network) become more adaptive to the local environments and robust to spectrum changes. The existing computing units in the mesh network systems are Fog nodes, the DMN architecture is more economic and efficient since it doesn’t require architecture- level changes from existing systems. The cluster head (CH) manages a group of nodes such that the network has the hierarchical structure for the channel access, routing and bandwidth allocation. The feature extraction and situational awareness is conducted, each Fog node sends the information regarding the current situation to the cluster head in the contextual format. A Markov logic network (MLN) based reasoning engine is utilized for the final routing table updating regarding the system uncertainty and complexity.

AbstractFlexible optical networks require reconfigurable devices with operation on a wavelength range of several tens of nanometers, hitless tuneability (i.e. transparency to other channels during reconfiguration), and polarization independence. All these requirements have not been achieved yet in a single photonic integrated device and this is the reason why the potential of integrated photonics is still largely unexploited in the nodes of optical communication networks. Here we report on a fully-reconfigurable add-drop silicon photonic filter, which can be tuned well beyond the extended C-band (almost 100 nm) in a complete hitless (>35 dB channel isolation) and polarization transparent (1.2 dB polarization dependent loss) way. This achievement is the result of blended strategies applied to the design, calibration, tuning and control of the device. Transmission quality assessment on dual polarization 100 Gbit/s (QPSK) and 200 Gbit/s (16-QAM) signals demonstrates the suitability for dynamic bandwidth allocation in core networks, backhaul networks, intra- and inter-datacenter interconnects.

The ability to measure privacy accurately and consistently is key in the development of new privacy protections. However, recent studies have uncovered weaknesses in existing privacy metrics, as well as weaknesses caused by the use of only a single privacy metric. Metrics suites, or combinations of privacy metrics, are a promising mechanism to alleviate these weaknesses, if we can solve two open problems: which metrics should be combined and how. In this article, we tackle the first problem, i.e., the selection of metrics for strong metrics suites, by formulating it as a knapsack optimization problem with both single and multiple objectives. Because solving this problem exactly is difficult due to the large number of combinations and many qualities/objectives that need to be evaluated for each metrics suite, we apply 16 existing evolutionary and metaheuristic optimization algorithms. We solve the optimization problem for three privacy application domains: genomic privacy, graph privacy, and vehicular communications privacy. We find that the resulting metrics suites have better properties, i.e., higher monotonicity, diversity, evenness, and shared value range, than previously proposed metrics suites.
