Link quality, trust management and energy efficiency are considered as main factors that affect the performance and lifetime of Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS). Routing packets toward the sink node can be a daunting task if aforementioned factors are considered. Correspondingly, routing packets by considering only shortest path or residual energy lead to suboptimal data forwarding. To this end, we propose a Fuzzy logic based Routing (FR) solution that incorporates social behaviour of human beings, link quality, and node quality to make the optimal routing decision. FR leverages friendship mechanism for trust management, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) to assure good link quality node selection, and residual energy for long lasting sensor lifetime. Extensive simulations show that the FR solution outperforms the existing approaches in terms of network lifetime and packet delivery ratio.

Network traffic identification has been a hot topic in network security area. The identification of abnormal traffic can detect attack traffic and helps network manager enforce corresponding security policies to prevent attacks. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are one of the most promising supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms that can be applied to the identification of traffic in IP networks as well as detection of abnormal traffic. SVM shows better performance because it can avoid local optimization problems existed in many supervised learning algorithms. However, as a binary classification approach, SVM needs more research in multiclass classification. In this paper, we proposed an abnormal traffic identification system(ATIS) that can classify and identify multiple attack traffic applications. Each component of ATIS is introduced in detail and experiments are carried out based on ATIS. Through the test of KDD CUP dataset, SVM shows good performance. Furthermore, the comparison of experiments reveals that scaling and parameters has a vital impact on SVM training results.
