Cognitive security management with reputation based cooperation schemes in heterogeneous networks

摘要

This paper proposes a computational intelligence framework for network security management. The framework uses reinforcement learning and Bayesian methods to achieve cross-layer optimization in heterogeneous, multi-layer wireless and wireline networks. Metrics based on the reputation of a node are used to measure performance. OPNET simulations results indicate that routing algorithms based on the newly proposed framework exhibit nearly four times improved network performance measured in terms of goodput.
