Therefore, future wireless networks will work based on quasi-optic millimeter wave (mmWave) signals for high-rate data transfer. However, given the mobility of vehicles, the mmWave links are prone to outages as they intrinsically rely on directional beamforming to line-of-sight (LoS) paths. Notably, fragile wireless links in dense urban canyons expose autonomous vehicles to safety risks. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a reconfigurable holographic surface (RHS) is navigated for establishing aerial LoS links for IoVs. RHS performs beamforming by adjusting the radiation patterns through the holographic surface, so it is energy efficient. The UAV-RHS is supported by terrestrial reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) installed on building facades, which are utilized to improve coverage and link reliability. The UAV’s navigation objectives are maintaining valid LoS links for IoVs, ensuring quality of service, and minimizing energy consumption. However, an obstacle-free kinematics-aware smooth trajectory, subject to motion constraints, is required for UAV navigation in dense urban environments. Satisfying these navigation objectives and constraints makes the trajectory design with valid LoS links a non-convex NP-hard optimization problem. To address this, we propose, for the first time, training generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate valid paths in real time. State feedback control with quadratic optimization is proposed to smooth the trajectory.

To improve the sustainability of the participants, split learning is introduced to the procedure of vehicular federated learning in this paper. Split learning divides the trained AI model into two parts. One is retained on terminals, and the other is sent to the cloud servers for remote training. Since the computation workload is reduced, the energy consumptions of participants are lowered. This training paradigm is called Vehicular Federated Split Learning (VFSL). Then, we model the computation and communication processes of VFSL and derive the energy consumption minimization problem.

This study proposes an adaptive Intrusion Detection System (IDS) integrating SHAP-based feature selection with a MASV-weighted SMOTE technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first framework to leverage SHAP values not only for feature selection but also to guide class rebalancing during synthetic sample generation. Unlike conventional approaches, which treat all features equally, our method prioritizes features based on their Mean Absolute SHAP Values (MASV) in both selection and oversampling. Evaluated on CICIDS-2017 and validated on VeReMi, the framework demonstrates strong generalizability between datasets. It reduces feature dimensionality by up to 80% (78 to 15 features) while maintaining 99.91% accuracy, achieving up to 50.79% faster training and real-time inference below 0.1 ms per instance.

Multi-UAV systems, which operate in ad-hoc networks known as UAV ad-hoc networks or flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs), represent some of the most promising technologies both currently and in the future. In disaster situations, it will be crucial to set up temporary UAV-based emergency flying base stations (BSs), provide wireless coverage in cellular networks, and establish communication relays for long-distance data transmission. To establish this network, efficient communication between the UAVs is the most vital point. Additionally, due to mobility, the topology changes frequently, leading to potential collisions and packet losses. Therefore, in this paper, a minimum distance clustering scheme (MDCS)-based FANET is proposed, where the topology is controlled by a back-off mechanism and network connectivity is maintained even when the UAVs are moving at different altitudes by calculating the relative velocity on a 3D platform while considering the randomized path-based 3D mobility model. An efficient cluster build-up process and a method for determining the position of the cluster head (CH) are introduced to control the cluster proficiently. An analytical study is performed considering Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, and Rician fading channels. Moreover, the obtained Monte Carlo simulation results justify the analytical findings. Finally, the simulations show better results than existing work in terms of throughput with changes in distance, velocity, and the number of UAVs, as well as outage probability, packet dropping rate, and delay. In the case of the Rician fading channel, for 40 UAVs, a cluster size of 7 or fewer is more favorable, showing a maximum connection distance of 165 m, a maximum throughput of 10.2 Mbps, and a maximum delay of 55.57 ms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54346,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Communications","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100971"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145099646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of this, ETSI defined a mechanism called Multi-Channel Operation (MCO). Two simple MCO load allocation mechanisms have been recommended, load balancing and sequential filling, but they have not been evaluated in detail until now. In this paper, these two mechanisms, as well as their congestion control variants, are evaluated.

Then, through multiple evaluations following the ETSI simulation setup, we discuss the behavior of these mechanisms under scenarios with a highly congested medium, employing different traffic loads and vehicular densities. Our results show that MCO improvement is limited under high-load conditions, by saturation of channels before switching to a new one (sequential filling) and synchronization of channel assignment among vehicles (load balancing), and the introduction of a simple reactive congestion control does not improve their performance.
