项目摘要

The transition to 5G is expected to witness not only an emergence of new applications such as mobile augmented and virtual reality, but also opens up the attack surface to both known, and previously unknown threats. Thus, wireless networks of the future will need better control and management at different temporal and traffic aggregation granularities (e.g., how to allocate spectrum, how to quarantine distributed attacks etc.). This project aims to develop scalable, machine learning based analytics on the data from a large set of geographically distributed wireless core network entities such as base stations. The research will enable new approaches for: (a) compressing the raw data via novel summaries and sketches, that reduce overhead while simultaneously enabling highly accurate scalable analytics (b) scalable yet highly flexible distributed learning approaches that are built upon the emerging federated learning paradigm and (c) flexible allocation of bandwidth to support the control plane analytics that minimizes the impact on the data plane. The proposed research outcomes will be systems, algorithms, and data analytics workflows that will inform the design and management of next generation critical wireless infrastructures. The approaches developed will enable ISPs to better apportion resources and enable better performance for emerging augmented reality applications for societal benefit (e.g., disaster response and management). In addition, the approaches can enable the discovery and profiling of new threats, which will have significant implications on national security. The proposed education activities are expected to provide students with a comprehensive training in networking, security, system building, and data science. Thus, there is significant potential for broader impact in terms of contributions to workforce development in an area of national need.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

向 5G 的过渡预计不仅会见证移动增强和虚拟现实等新应用的出现，还会为已知和以前未知的威胁打开攻击面。因此，未来的无线网络将需要在不同的时间和流量聚合粒度上进行更好的控制和管理（例如，如何分配频谱、如何隔离分布式攻击等）。该项目旨在对来自大量地理分布的无线核心网络实体（例如基站）的数据开发可扩展的、基于机器学习的分析。该研究将实现以下新方法：（a）通过新颖的摘要和草图压缩原始数据，从而减少开销，同时实现高度准确的可扩展分析（b）基于新兴联邦学习范式的可扩展且高度灵活的分布式学习方法(c) 灵活分配带宽以支持控制平面分析，从而最大限度地减少对数据平面的影响。拟议的研究成果将是系统、算法和数据分析工作流程，为下一代关键无线基础设施的设计和管理提供信息。所开发的方法将使互联网服务提供商能够更好地分配资源，并为新兴的增强现实应用程序提供更好的性能，以实现社会效益（例如灾难响应和管理）。此外，这些方法可以发现和分析新的威胁，这将对国家安全产生重大影响。拟议的教育活动预计将为学生提供网络、安全、系统构建和数据科学方面的全面培训。因此，在为国家需要的领域的劳动力发展做出贡献方面，具有产生更广泛影响的巨大潜力。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
