[] Internet traffic modeling and analysis is critical for network design and for cybersecurity. Internet traffic differs from Telephone traffic insofar as it characterized by long range dependent scale-free temporal dynamics. In this talk, we will describe multiscale analysis as a state-of-the-art tool to assess and quantify scale-free dynamics. We will also that show that wavelet analysis mut be combined with random projection strategies to permit a statistical characterization of Internet background traffic both accurate and robust to anomalies. In turn, these random projections can be further involved into automated anomaly detection and into the identification of the IP addresses involved. However, scale-free analysis remained so far mostly univariate, applied independently to directional counts of either bytes or packets, while challenges in cybersecurity naturally call for multivariate analysis. Elaborating on recent theoretical developments on eigenvalue-based multivariate self-similarity analysis, this talk will provide evidence for multivariate self-similarity in 17 years of Internet traffic data from the MAWI repository and will discuss the potential use of multivariate self-similarity for low volume anomaly detection.

1st presentation Title: “5G-GOVSATCOM Project for the Integration of Terrestrial and Satellite 5G Systems” Presenters: Miguel Ángel Vázquez (CTTC, Spain), Marc Carrascosa Zamacois (CTTC, Spain), Giovanni Giambene (UNISI, Italy) Abstract: The EU EUSPA agency has financed the GOVSATCOM program, whose aim is to support the development of a 5G NTN key infrastructure in Europe for crisis management and surveillance tasks. In the long term, the EU-GOVSATCOM system will be able to use the new IRIS2 satellite constellation, whose consortium has been set in December 2024. The standardization of NTN as an integral part of 5G systems is progressing, with important progress made in the last Releases 17 and 18, especially at the PHY layer. The 3GPP work towards the TN-NTN integration is still needed to achieve a complete protocol integration. Within the GOVSATCOM framework, the EU 5G-GOVSATCOM project deals with TN-NTN integration for the support of seamless mission-critical (MCX) services. The first part of this presentation deals with the envisaged system architecture; then the second part addresses the design issue of the novel UE terminal; finally, the last part of this presentation addresses the issue of the seamless Vertical Handover (VHO) between TN and NTN, proposing the adoption of a smart gateway server to manage a seamless switch from the two networks when some critical conditions are met or according to defined policies. The use of VPNs between smart gateway entities through the TN and NTN enables VHO execution at the network layer transparently to the MCX end-to-end service.

The session will include insights from six months of GNSS interference monitoring in the Baltic Sea region and feature a live demonstration of real-time GNSS interference detection at Gdańsk International Airport, showcasing actual data and user interface examples.
