This growing demand drives the need for effective demand management and energy coordination strategies to maximize the demand covered by the EV charging stations, ensure EV users' satisfaction and prevent grid-side overload. As a result, several optimization problems are formulated and solved in the literature to provide optimal EV charging schedules (i.e. temporal coordination) as well as optimal EV-to-charging-station assignments and routing plans (i.e. spatial coordination). This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art literature on the utilization of different deterministic optimization techniques to develop optimal EV charging coordination strategies. In particular, these works are reviewed according to their domains of operation (i.e. time-based scheduling, spatial coordination, and spatio-temporal charging coordination), their respective objectives (user-, grid- and operator-related objectives), and the solution algorithms adopted to provide the corresponding optimal coordination plans. This helps in identifying key research gaps and provide recommendations for future research directions to develop comprehensive and computationally efficient charging coordination models.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1294-1313"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10577180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142274846","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}

Reliable delay-critical uplink transmission in vehicular IoT is a challenging task since low-complex devices typically do not support multiple antennas or demanding signal processing tasks. However, in many IoT services, the data volumes are small and deployments may include massive number of devices. For this kind of setup, we consider on a clustered uplink transmission with two cooperation approaches: First, we focus on scenario where location-based channel knowledge map (CKM) is applied to enable cooperation. Second, we consider a scenario where scarce channel side-information is applied inuplink transmission. In both scenarios we also model and analyse the impact of erroneous channel information. As being different from the existing literature, in the performance evaluation, we apply the recently introduced data-oriented approach in the context of short-packet transmissions over vehicular IoT networks. Specifically, it introduces a transient performance metric for small data transmissions the so-called delay outage rate (DOR), where the amount of data and available bandwidth play crucial roles. Results show that cooperation between clustered IoT devices may provide notable benefits in terms of increased range. It is noticed that the performance is heavily depending on the strength of the static channel component in the CKM-based cooperation. Also, it is shown that the channel side-information based cooperation is robust against changes in the radio environment but sensitive to possible errors in the channel side-information. Even with large IoT device clusters, side-information errors may set a limit for the use of services assuming high-reliability and low-latency where DOR is the relevant metric. The analytical derivations are validated through corresponding Monte Carlo numerical simulations, with only minor differences at low probability values.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"855-868"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10577226","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141729886","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}

To address this gap, this paper presents an enhanced Hybrid-Electric Vehicle Charging Management and Security (H-EVCMS) framework. The H-EVCMS framework is meticulously designed to optimize charging price, manage load balancing, and provide security across multiple CS by leveraging the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). The proposed framework's performance is evaluated by examining various charging scenarios and analyzing the booking and power consumption patterns of each CS.

While conventional detection techniques either exhibit subpar performance or impose excessive computational burdens in such systems, learning-based methods which have shown great potential in stationary scenarios, struggle to adapt to non-stationary conditions. To address these challenges, we introduce innovative extensions to the Learned Conjugate Gradient Network (LcgNet) M-MIMO detector. Firstly, we expound Preconditioned LcgNet (PrLcgNet), which incorporates a preconditioner during training to enhance the uplink M-MIMO detector's filter matrix. This modification enables the detector to achieve faster convergence with fewer layers compared to the original approach. Secondly, we introduce an adaptation of PrLcgNet referred to as Dynamic Conjugate Gradient Network (DyCoGNet), specifically designed for time-varying environments. DyCoGNet leverages self-supervised learning with Forward Error Correction (FEC), enabling autonomous adaptation without the need for explicit labeled data. It also employs meta-learning, facilitating rapid adaptation to unforeseen channel conditions. Our simulation results demonstrate that in stationary scenarios, PrLcgNet achieves faster convergence than LCgNet, which can be leveraged to reduce system complexity or improve Symbol Error Rate (SER) performance. Furthermore, in non-stationary scenarios, DyCoGNet exhibits rapid and efficient adaptation, achieving significant SER performance gains compared to baseline cases without meta-learning and a recent benchmark using self-supervised learning.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"792-806"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10551475","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141439460","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}

Here, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can address resource limitations by serving multiple devices on the same spectral and temporal resources. Meanwhile, cooperative relays can mitigate the impact with excessive large- and small-scale fading and interference. Still, to unlock the full potential of NOMA in 6G deployments, its performance must be analyzed under interference-limited scenarios with NOMA communications occuring across multiple cells. In this paper, the detrimental effect of co-channel interference (CCI) from nearby NOMA transmissions on a relay-aided NOMA network is examined. More specifically, randomly deployed CCI terminals communicate using NOMA and degrade the uplink communication. Network performance is thoroughly analyzed for various metrics, considering independent and identically distributed non-orthogonal CCI. Furthermore, for improved performance, transmit power, power allocation, and relay location optimization is presented. This scenario can correspond to Industry 4.0 settings, relying on private networks that can adjust the transmit power of interferers within the network. Our analytical findings are verified through Monte-Carlo simulations, revealing that non-orthogonal CCI degrades the system performance, causing system coding gain losses. Nonetheless, the proposed optimization framework can mitigate the impact of non-orthogonal CCI and ensure improved uplink performance.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"658-680"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10508052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140950957","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}

Nonetheless, PSO has its limitations, notably its propensity for slow convergence. Traditionally, PSO operates by guiding swarms through positions determined by their initial velocities and acceleration components, encompassing cognitive and social information. In pursuit of expedited convergence, we introduce a novel approach: the Cognitive and Social Information-Based Hyperbolic Tangent Particle Swarm Optimization (HT-PSO) algorithm. This innovation draws inspiration from the activation functions employed in neural networks, with the singular aim of accelerating convergence. To combat the issue of slow convergence, we reengineer the cognitive and social acceleration coefficients of the PSO algorithm, leveraging the power of the hyperbolic tangent function. This strategic adjustment fosters a dynamic balance between exploration and exploitation, unleashing PSO's full potential. Our experimental trials encompass thirteen benchmark functions spanning unimodal and multimodal landscapes. Besides that, the proposed algorithm is also applied to different UAV path planning scenarios, underscoring its real-world relevance. The outcomes underscore the prowess of HT-PSO, showcasing significantly better convergence rates compared to the state-of-the-art.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"681-694"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10505768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141096361","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}

In this work, we consider nonlinear effects at the receiver side, associated with quantization and saturation of low-resolution ADCs, and we propose a Generalized Approximate Message Passing (GAMP) receiver that is specially designed to cope with nonlinear effects at the OFDM receiver. We show that our receiver can significantly mitigate the distortion that arises from low-resolution ADCs, allowing larger M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM) constellations to be employed.

Formal methods allow the identification of factors that contribute to traffic safety issues and provide evidence of potential safety degradation. As such, formal methods provide a novel way to model traffic rules and verify road users' compliance. The paper proposes formalizing a traffic safety rule in differential dynamic logic and using KeYmaera theorem prover for verification. This rule considers time-to-collision (TTC), space headway (SHW), and shockwave speed (SWV). To validate the effectiveness of this rule in realistic traffic scenarios, we conducted a study using calibrated microsimulation data from the SR528 highway in Orlando, Florida. Our analysis examined the TTC, SHW, and SWV values for vehicle platoons on the highway and demonstrated how smaller TTC and SHW values indicate shockwaves and subsequent conflicts. Furthermore, we observed that shockwave speed could contribute to traffic conflicts by enabling evasive actions such as sudden braking or lane changes as the risk of collisions increases. By highlighting these findings, we aim to provide valuable insights into the real-world applicability of formal methods for traffic safety and their potential in promoting safer driving practices that can help create reliable autonomous vehicle control systems.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"606-619"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10496854","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140648045","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}

In the presence of complete terrain information, two highly discussed topics are UAV-aided map construction and dynamic trajectory design based on maps. We propose a case study illustrating the mutually reinforcing relationship between them. When terrain information is incomplete, and only terrain-related feature parameters are available, we discuss how existing models map terrain features to blockage probabilities. By introducing the application of this model with stochastic geometry, a case study is proposed to analyze the accuracy of the model. When no terrain information is available, UAVs gather terrain information during the real-time networking process and determine the next position by collected information. This real-time search method is currently limited to relay communication. In the case study, we extend it to a multi-user scenario and summarize three trade-offs of the method.
