Collective perception enables connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to overcome the limitations of standalone autonomous vehicles by sharing sensory information with nearby road users. However, unfavorable conditions of the wireless communication medium it uses can lead to limited reliability and reduced quality of service. In this paper, we propose methods for increasing the reliability of collective perception through real-time packet delivery rate monitoring and a dual-channel hybrid delivery approach. We have implemented AutowareV2X, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication module integrated into the autonomous driving (AD) software Autoware. AutowareV2X provides connectivity to the AD stack, enabling end-to-end (E2E) experimentation and evaluation of CAVs. The Collective Perception Service (CPS) was also implemented, allowing the transmission of Collective Perception Messages (CPMs). Our proposed methods using AutowareV2X were evaluated using actual hardware and vehicles in real-life field tests. Results have indicated that the E2E network latency of the perception information sent is around 30ms, and the AD software can use shared object data to conduct collision avoidance maneuvers. The dual-channel delivery of CPMs enabled the CAV to dynamically select the best CPM from CPMs received from different links, depending on the freshness of their information. This enabled the reliable transmission of CPMs even when there was significant packet loss on one of the transmitting channels.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1124-1138"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10637709","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142152101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three modes A, B and C have been defined for communication in V2X networks where Mode C for FD communication has been introduced for the first time. We have derived mathematical model for success probability of FD for C-V2X network and formulated expressions for area spectral efficiency (ASE). Dual connectivity (DC) for simultaneous link of receiving vehicle with nearest transmitting vehicle and base station (BS) has also been analyzed for the first time for HD and FD in C-V2X network. Analytical and Monte Carlo simulations results have shown that utilization of FD in C-V2X network provides comparable success probability as compared to HD with improvement in ASE. Success probability of FD remains close to HD in terms of signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) in the range from -40 dBW to 60 dBW. Importance of achieving perfect self-interference cancellation (SIC) for different values of self-interference (SI) in FD network has also been evaluated. FD in C-V2X network has shown to significantly improve ASE with gain of 2.55 dB over Direct Short Range Communication (DSRC) and 2 dB over HD in C-V2X network under specific conditions. No degradation in ASE was observed in case of DC for HD and FD. ASE for FD has shown improvement as compared to HD for DSRC and C-V2X networks when evaluated against density of vehicles, BSs and roads.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1256-1272"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10636210","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142275015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has resulted in the generation of massive spatial trajectories, particularly from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) for surface vehicles. The massive AIS data lead to high storage requirements and computing costs, as well as low data transmission efficiency. These challenges highlight the critical importance of vessel trajectory compression for surface vehicles. However, the complexity and diversity of vessel trajectories and behaviors make trajectory compression imperative and challenging in maritime applications. Therefore, trajectory compression has been one of the hot spots in research on trajectory data mining. The major purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive reference source for beginners involved in vessel trajectory compression. The current trajectory compression methods could be broadly divided into two types, batch (offline) and online modes. The principles and pseudo-codes of these methods will be provided and discussed in detail. In addition, compressive experiments on several publicly available data sets have been implemented to evaluate the batch and online compression methods in terms of computation time, compression ratio, trajectory similarity, and trajectory length loss rate. Finally, we develop a flexible and open software, called \u0000<italic>AISCompress</i>\u0000, for AIS-based batch and online vessel trajectory compression.

We developed a beamforming feedback (BFF)-based LOS identification algorithm. BFF frames are transmitted for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. They can be obtained by capturing frames without custom firmware or specific chipsets and contain a beamforming feedback matrix (BFM) and subcarrier-averaged stream gain (SSG). These provide partial channel state information (CSI), and there are two major calculation steps involved from the CSI to the BFF: unquantized BFF (UQBFF) calculation and quantization. Focusing on the relationship between singular value decomposition and principal component analysis, we numerically demonstrated that the first column vectors of the BFM reflect the LOS/NLOS conditions. Therefore, the proposed BFF-based method extracts features from the first-column vectors of the BFM. In addition, SSGs were leveraged to improve the accuracy. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, we conducted experiments using commodity off-the-shelf devices compliant with the IEEE 802.11ac standard. In the experimental evaluation, the proposed BFF-based method achieved an identification accuracy of 75.0%, whereas the CSI-based method achieved an accuracy of 81.2%. Accuracy comparisons revealed that the accuracy degradation of the BFF-based identification from the CSI-based identification was primarily caused by UQBFF calculations rather than quantization.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1024-1035"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10631655","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hard-decision decoding sacrifices the preservation of diversity order, leading to pronounced performance degradation in fading channels. By contrast, soft-decision decoding retains diversity order, albeit at the cost of increased computational complexity. We introduce a novel enhanced hard-decision decoder termed as the Diversity Flip decoder (DFD) designed for preserving the diversity order. Moreover, it exhibits ‘universal’ applicability to all linear block codes. For a \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$mathscr {C}(n,k)$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 code having a minimum distance \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>${d_{min }}$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, the proposed decoder incurs a worst-case complexity order of \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$2^{({d_{min }}-1)}-1$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000. Notably, for codes having low \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>${d_{min }}$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, this complexity represents a significant reduction compared to the popular soft and hard decision decoding algorithms. Due to its capability of maintaining diversity at a low complexity, it is eminently suitable for applications such as V2X (Vehicle-to-everything), IoT (Internet of Things), mMTC (Massive Machine type Communications), URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications) and WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks) for efficient decoding with favorable performance characteristics. The simulation results provided for various known codes and decoding algorithms validate the performance versus complexity benefits of the proposed decoder.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1496-1517"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10621450","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major differences include higher path loss and sparser multipath components (MPCs), resulting in more significant time-varying characteristics in mmWave channels. It is difficult to characterize the time-varying characteristics of mmWave channels through statistical models, e.g. slope-intercept models for path loss and lognormal models for delay spread and angular spread. Therefore, highly accurate channel modeling and prediction are necessary for deployment of mmWave communication systems. In this paper, a mmWave channel parameter prediction method using deep learning and environment point cloud is proposed. The parameters predicted include path loss, root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread, angular spread and Rician \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$K$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 factor. First, we introduce a novel measurement campaign for indoor mmWave channel at 60 GHz, where a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor and panoramic camera were co-located with a channel sounder and then time-synchronized point clouds and images were captured to describe environmental information. Furthermore, a fusion method between the point clouds and images is proposed based on geometric relationship between the LiDAR and camera, to compress the size of the data collected. Second, based on a classic point cloud classification model (PointNet), we propose a novel regression PointNet model applied to channel parameter prediction. To overcome generalization problem of model under limited measurements, an area-by-area training and testing method is proposed. Third, we evaluate the proposed prediction model and training method, by comparing prediction results with measured ground truth. To provide insights on what training inputs are best, we demonstrate the impacts of different combinations of input information on prediction accuracy. Last, the deployment and implementation method of the proposed model is recommended to the readers.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1059-1072"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620622","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uncoordinated charging of EVs can cause transformers to overload, leading to instability and unreliability in the grid. This article introduces two smart charging coordinators for EV charging pools designed to manage EV charging while considering transformer power limits. The first strategy aims to minimize operational costs, while the second maximizes the charger flexibility. Both coordinators account for uncertainties in EV arrival time and state of charge, as well as inflexible demands on transformers. The strategies are evaluated and compared using grid-aware and grid-unaware methods regarding transformer power limits. Real-world datasets are utilized to assess the performance of the proposed strategies through simulation studies across three scenarios: single charging station behavior, average parking lot occupancy, and worst-case occupancy scenarios. Comparative analysis against uncoordinated and coordinated strategies from the literature reveals that the flexibility maximization strategy provides the most uniform response, effectively mitigating transformer overload events by optimizing charging power and scheduling flexibility. The study underscores the importance of accurate, innovative charging strategies for seamless EV integration and emphasizes the necessity of coordinated charging pools for reliable EV charging operations.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"990-1003"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10614891","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141965057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
