Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to comprise an extended version of conference papers from the 7th International Conference on Cyber Security and Information Engineering (ICCSIE2022), which will be held in Brisbane, Australia during 23–25 September 2022. The conference has attracted hundreds of participants and becomes a platform for researchers from various application areas to discuss problems and solutions in the area, identify new issues, and shape future directions for research.

The purpose of this Special Issue is devoted to exploring and promoting the research and applications in the field of cyber security and information engineering to achieve secure smart environment and to tackle the targets and challenges associated with the Internet of Everything. We invite the submission of original research papers in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied computer science and information engineering, and we will select papers on sensing-related topics to be published in this Special Issue. We thank presenters and speakers in advance for your attendance at this conference and look forward to a stimulating exchange.

Wireless broadband transmission channels usually have time-domain-sparse properties, and the reconstruction of these channels using a greedy search-based orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm can effectively improve channel estimation performance while decreasing the length of the reference signal. In this research, the improved OMP and SOMP algorithms for compressed-sensing (CS)-based channel estimation are proposed for single-carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) systems, which, in comparison with conventional algorithms, calculate the path gain after obtaining the path delay and updating the observation matrices. The reliability of the communication system is further enhanced because the channel path gain is calculated using longer observation vectors, which lowers the Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) and results in better channel estimation performance. The developed method can also be applied to time-domain-synchronous OFDM (TDS-OFDM) systems, and it is applicable to the improvement of other matching pursuit algorithms. Full article

As the number and length of high-speed railway tunnels increase in China, implicit defects such as insufficient lining thicknesses, voids, and poor compaction have become increasingly common, posing a serious threat to train operation safety. It is, therefore, imperative to conduct a comprehensive census of the defects within the tunnel linings. In response to this problem, this study proposes a high-speed railway tunnel detection method based on vehicle-mounted air-coupled GPR. Building on a forward simulation of air-coupled GPR, the study proposes the F-K filtering and BP migration algorithms based on the practical considerations of random noise and imaging interference from the inherent equipment. Through multi-dimensional quantitative comparisons, these algorithms are shown to improve the spectrum entropy values and instantaneous amplitude ratios by 4.6% and 11.6%; and 120% and 180%, respectively, over the mean and bandpass filtering algorithms, demonstrating their ability to suppress clutter and enhance the internal signal prominence of the lining. The experimental results are consistent with the forward simulation trends, and the verification using the ground-coupled GPR detection confirms that air-coupled GPR can meet the requirements of high-speed railway tunnel lining inspections. A comprehensive GPR detection model is proposed to lay the foundation for a subsequent defect census of high-speed railway tunnels. Full article

With the rapid development of communication technology and the diversification and rapid growth of network application demands, the requirements for the anti-destruction capability of information networks have also increased. Therefore, an efficient and accurate metric of the survivability of satellite networks has become a hotspot of current research. Firstly, in this paper, we propose a transfer matrix-based spatial information network invulnerability evaluation algorithm. The algorithm draws the idea of a node deletion method to determine the initial importance of nodes and then establishes a formula for the importance transfer probability of the nodes. In addition, an evaluation algorithm of spatial information network invulnerability is obtained using the network structure entropy theory. Simulations show that our new evaluation algorithm based on the transfer matrix is more accurate compared to degree centricity, natural connectivity and other methods in evaluating the importance of the nodes. The proposed index can effectively reflect the change in the network topology and evaluate the network survivability. Full article
