This study introduces an innovative cluster-based routing strategy using Enhanced Slap Swarm Optimization (ESSO) and Evaluation with Mixed Data Multi-criteria Decision-Making (EVAmix MCDM) Method tailored to optimize routing in V2X communication. Unlike existing meta-heuristic methods, which often face slow convergence, premature convergence, and local optima stability, the proposed approach demonstrates striking results.

Considering the popularity and demand for faster data communications, V-Nets are evolving towards an information-centric approach, namely the Information Centric Vehicular Networks (ICVN). In ICVN, nodes such as vehicles, roadside units, pedestrian devices, and sensors, generate interest packets and forward them to appropriate cache stores to retrieve desired data. Hence, an efficient interest forwarding algorithm in ICVN considerably enhances the content retrieval performance and make supports road safety, traffic management, environmental monitoring in real-vehicular environment. However, designing such efficient scheme is critical due to the involvement of various communication scenarios like vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-roadside unit (V2R), vehicle-to-in-vehicle sensors (V2S), vehicle-to-mobile infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-personal device (V2P) and it demands a comprehensive and connected vehicular network. In this paper, we propose an interest forwarding scheme for ICVN with the above said realistic scenario. The interest forwarding process is governed by the Secretary Selection Problem (SSP) which guides a vehicular node to select the next level forwarder for locating the desired content. The goal is to select the best neighboring vehicle as the next forwarder thereby maximizing the chances of obtaining the requested data. The proposed scheme, named as Selection Based Interest Forwarding (SBIF) which uses Secretary Selection Problem (SSP) for governing the forward process to select the next level forwarder for locating the desired content. This scheme is analyzed mathematically and implemented in \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$ndn$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 simulator.

However, urban obstacles like trees and high buildings can obstruct the connection between UAVs and IoTDs, leading to degraded communication performance. High altitudes can also result in significant path losses. To address these challenges, this paper introduces the deployment of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) that smartly reflect signals to improve communication quality. It proposes a method to jointly optimize the 3D trajectory of the UAV and the phase shifts of the RIS to maximize communication coverage and ensure satisfactory average achievable data rates for RIS-assisted UAV-enabled wireless communications by considering mobile multi-user scenarios. In this paper, a multi-agent double-deep \u0000<italic>Q</i>\u0000-network (MADDQN) algorithm is presented, which each agent dynamically adjusts either the positioning of the UAV or the phase shifts of the RIS. Agents learn to collaborate with each other by sharing the same reward to achieve a common goal.

Also, they should be capable of capturing the traffic flow data at the right time and promptly applying sustainable actions toward emission reduction. However, traditional transportation networks cannot handle right-time updates and act upon the requirements in dynamic conditions. Here, Digital Twin (DT) enables the development of enhanced transportation management via robust modelling and intelligence capabilities. Therefore, we propose a DT-empowered Eco-Regulation (DTER) framework with a novel twinning approach. We define a transport-specific twin sampling rate to catch right-time data in a transportation network. Besides, we perform emission prediction using Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), and BANE embeddings. We perform Laplacian matrix analysis to cluster the risk zones regarding the emissions. Thereafter, we recommend actions by setting the number of vehicle limits of junctions for high-emission areas according to the outputs of Q-learning. In summary, DTER takes control of the emission with its transport-specific twin sampling rate and automated management of transportation actions by considering the emission predictions. We note DTER achieves 19% more successful right-time data capturing, with 30% reduced query time. Moreover, our hybrid implementation of intelligent algorithms for emission prediction resulted in higher accuracy when compared to baselines.

UAVs can serve as aerial base stations (ABSs), offering several benefits to the existing terrestrial networks, such as enhanced coverage, increased capacity, rapid deployment, and mobile communication support. However, this integration presents various technical challenges, including coordination, interference management, and dynamic allocation of resources. To address these key challenges, in this paper, we maximize the network utility by jointly optimizing the scheduling and cell association, transmit power of all base stations, and ABS deployment locations in the presence of co-channel interference. A two-stage approach is proposed to obtain a solution. In the first stage, we propose a heuristic solution by using the clustering algorithm to determine the initial ABS locations and user scheduling while ignoring the co-channel interference. In the second stage, we utilize the solution obtained in the first part and develop an interference-aware iterative scheme to jointly optimize user scheduling, resource allocation, and ABS placement. Given the non-convex nature of this problem, we employ the successive convex approximation technique to approximate the non-convex objectives and constraints. Numerical results show the proposed approach's insights and effectiveness over other schemes.

The inherent containment of light improves security, enables dense cellular networks with spatial reuse, and results in reduced sporadic interference while providing high-capacity short range communication links to mobile end devices. This paper outlines the features of the new IEEE Std 802.15.13-2013, suitable for industrial OWC, and presents details of our prototype implementation along with initial experiments. The standard specifies deterministic medium access control (MAC), based on dynamic time division multiple access (TDMA), as well as two physical layers (PHYs) for extended range and robustness, and for spectral efficiency, respectively. Our prototype includes a central coordinator, implemented entirely in software, running on commodity server hardware. It connects to distributed ceiling-mounted optical wireless frontends via a packet-switched network (Ethernet) and is capable of forming them into adaptive virtual cells on a per-user basis. This approach enhances reliability through multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and allows for smooth mobility. We implemented the Pulsed Modulation PHY (PM-PHY) on a commercially available field programmable gate array (FPGA) evaluation board. Initial test results indicate that the PM-PHY supports typical distances of up to 6 m between the ceiling and the mobile device.

For instance, the maximum likelihood (Max-L) detection is capable of achieving optimal performance based on exhaustive search, but its exponential computational complexity renders it impractical. By contrast, zero-forcing detection has low computational complexity, while having significantly worse performance compared to that of the Max-L. The recent developments in deep learning (DL) based detection techniques relying on back propagation neural networks (BPNN) constitute promising candidates for the open challenge of the MIMO detection performance versus complexity trade-off. Against this background, in this paper, we propose a novel partial learning (PL) model for MIMO detection with soft-bit decisions that can be incorporated into channel-coded communication systems. More explicitly, the proposed PL model consists of two parts: first, a subset of the transmitted MIMO symbols is detected by the data-driven DL technique and then the detected symbols are removed from the received MIMO signals for the sake of interference cancellation. Afterwards, the classic model-based zero-forcing detector is invoked to detect the remaining symbols at a linear complexity. As a result, near-optimal MIMO performance can be achieved with substantially reduced computational complexity compared to Max-L and BPNN. The proposed solution is adapted to both accept and produce soft information, so that iterative detection can be performed, where the iteration gain is analyzed by extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed partial learning-based iterative detection is capable of attaining near-Max-L performance while attaining a flexible performance versus complexity trade-off.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1600-1610"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10720516","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142579186","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}

These agents share information, divide tasks, and synchronize their actions. Key aspects of multi-agent collaboration include coordination, communication, task allocation, cooperation, adaptation, and decentralization. On construction sites, surface grading is the process of leveling sand piles to increase a specific area's height. There, a bulldozer grades while a dumper allocates sand piles. Our work aims to utilize a multi-agent approach to enable these vehicles to collaborate effectively. To this end, we propose a decentralized and asymmetric multi-agent learning approach for construction sites (DAMALCS). We formulate DAMALCS to reduce expected collisions for operating vehicles. Therefore, we develop two heuristic experts capable of achieving their joint goal optimally, by applying an innovative prioritization method. In this approach, the bulldozer's movements take precedence over the dumper's operations. This enables the dozer to clear the path for the dumper and ensure continuous operation of both vehicles. As heuristics alone are insufficient in real-world scenarios, we utilize them to train AI agents, which proves to be highly effective. We simultaneously train dozer and dumper agents to operate within the same environment, aiming to avoid collisions and optimizing performance in terms of time efficiency and sand volume handling. Our trained agents and heuristics are evaluated in both simulation and real-world lab experiments, testing them under various conditions such as visual noise and localization errors. The results demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces collision rates for these vehicles.","PeriodicalId":34270,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology","volume":"5 ","pages":"1587-1599"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10715664","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142579185","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}
