Abstract

The goal of this paper is to establish a general approach for analyzing queueing models with repeated inhomogeneous vacations. The server goes on for a vacation if the inactivity prolongs more than the vacation trigger duration. Once the system enters in vacation mode, it may continue for several consecutive vacations. At the end of a vacation, the server goes on another vacation, possibly with a different probability distribution; if during the previous vacation there have been no arrivals. However the system enters in vacation mode only if the inactivity is persisted beyond defined trigger duration. In order to get an insight on the influence of parameters on the performance, we choose to study a simple M/G/1 queue (Poisson arrivals and general independent service times) which has the advantage of being tractable analytically. The theoretical model is applied to the problem of power saving for mobile devices in which the sleep durations of a device correspond to the vacations of the server. Various system performance metrics such as the frame response time and the economy of energy are derived. A constrained optimization problem is formulated to maximize the economy of energy achieved in power save mode, with constraints as QoS conditions to be met. An illustration of the proposed methods is shown with a WiMAX system scenario to obtain design parameters for better performance. Our analysis allows us not only to optimize the system parameters for a given traffic intensity but also to propose parameters that provide the best performance under worst case conditions.

Where Have All the Firewalls Gone? Security Consequences of Residential IPv6 Transition

IPv4 NAT has limited the spread of IoT botnets considerably by default-denying bots' incoming connection requests to in-home devices unless the owner has explicitly allowed them. As the Internet transitions to majority IPv6, however, residential connections no longer require the use of NAT. This paper therefore asks: has the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 ultimately made residential networks more vulnerable to attack, thereby empowering the next generation of IPv6-based IoT botnets? To answer this question, we introduce a large-scale IPv6 scanning methodology that, unlike those that rely on computationally intensive algorithms, can be run on low-resource devices common in IoT botnets. We use this methodology to perform the largest-scale measurement of IPv6 residential networks to date, and compare which devices are publicly accessible to comparable IPv4 networks. We received responses from 93,832,220 distinct IPv6 addresses, 14,901,892 of which are inside of residential networks (i.e., not the external-facing gateway IP). These residential network internal addresses span 4,412 ASes across 144 countries. These responses come from protocols commonly exploited by IoT botnets (including telnet and FTP), as well as protocols typically associated with end-user devices (including iPhone-Sync and IPP). Compared with IPv4, we reach 11x more HP printers over IPv6 than Shodan finds across the entire IPv4 Internet, and thousands of iPhones and smart lights whose services IPv4 NAT made unreachable by default. Collectively, our results show that NAT has indeed acted as the de facto firewall of the Internet, and the IPv4-to-IPv6 transition of residential networks is opening up new devices to attack. Finally, we discuss potential mitigations to prevent in-home network reachability as IPv6 adoption continues to grow.

Burst-mode timing recovery based on fourth-power phase detector for passive optical networks

Driven by the ever-increasing capacity demands, 50G passive optical network (50G-PON) is ready for practical application. It is highly challenging to realize 50GHz burst-mode analog components; therefore, based on 25GHz burst-mode analog devices, burst-mode digital signal processing (DSP) is introduced to achieve the reception and processing of 50Gb/s on-off keying burst signals. To optimize the power consumption and area of the DSP chip, a one-sample-per-symbol (1-SPS) analog-to-digital converter has been applied in 50G-PON. One of the main challenges is implementing burst-mode timing recovery (BM-TR) for the 1-SPS burst signal in 50G-PON. In this paper, we first propose a BM-TR based on the fourth-power phase detector (4PPD) for 50G-PON. We mathematically verify that 4PPD can directly compute the timing phase offset (TPO) from the 1-SPS signal without using training sequences, allowing for immediate BM-TR initialization within 20 cycles to prevent long convergence times. After the initialization, the feedback loop structure tracks the TPO changes based on the sign of 4PPD, the loop filter, and the numerically controlled oscillator. In conclusion, training-sequence-free 4PPD-based BM-TR achieves low burst overhead via fast convergence and is particularly effective for handling burst signals in 50G-PON.

AI-Native Open RAN: A Roadmap from xApps and rApps to Autonomous Network Agents

Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) have emerged as a transformative paradigm for future wireless systems by introducing openness, virtualization, disaggregation, and programmable intelligence through the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC). The availability of standardized interfaces and near-real-time control loops has created unprecedented opportunities for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into radio access network management and optimization. Over the past several years, a broad range of AI techniques have been proposed to address key O-RAN challenges such as radio resource management, network slicing, traffic prediction, mobility management, interference mitigation, and spectrum sharing. Despite significant progress, existing solutions often remain task-specific, require extensive retraining, and exhibit limited generalization across deployment environments and network conditions. This paper presents a comprehensive review of AI-enabled O-RAN systems and provides a unifying perspective on the evolution of intelligence in wireless networks. We first examine the O-RAN architecture and the role of intelligence within near-real-time and non-real-time RIC frameworks. We then develop a taxonomy of AI approaches for O-RAN, covering machine learning, deep reinforcement learning (DRL), digital-twin-assisted optimization, and emerging foundation-model-based architectures.
