It has turned into a powerful tool to analyze on-device data and produce real-time applications while safeguarding user privacy. However, in vehicular networks, the dynamic nature of vehicles, coupled with resource constraints, gives rise to new challenges for efficient FL implementation. In this paper, we address the critical problems of optimizing computational and communication resources and selecting the appropriate vehicle to participate in the process. Our proposed scheme bypasses the communication bottleneck by forming homogeneous groups based on the vehicles mobility/direction and their computing resources. Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication is then adapted within each group, and communication with an on-road edge node is orchestrated by a designated Cluster Head (CH). The latter is selected based on several factors, including connectivity index, mobility coherence, and computational resources. This selection process is designed to be robust against potential cheating attempts, which prevents nodes from avoiding the role of CH to conserve their resources. Moreover, we propose a matching algorithm that pairs each vehicular group with the appropriate edge nodes responsible for aggregating local models and facilitating communication with the server, which subsequently processes the models from all edges. The conducted experiments show promising results compared to benchmarks by achieving: (1) significantly higher amounts of trained data per iteration through strategic CH selection, leading to improved model accuracy and reduced communication overhead. Additionally, our approach demonstrates (2) efficient network load management, (3) faster convergence times in later training rounds, and (4) superior cluster stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54346,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Communications","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100870"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825356","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}

Utilizing this data can improve driving safety and achieve better service quality in smart transportation systems. Therefore, ensuring the efficiency and security of data sharing is an important issue. Integrating IoV and blockchain technology can provide solutions to the data sharing security problems. This paper researches on IoV data sharing based on blockchain technology. In view of the problem that Internet of Vehicles data is susceptible to denial of service attacks, central failures and privacy leaks, we propose a data sharing scheme based on blockchain for privacy protection certification of Internet of Vehicles. Firstly, a decentralized privacy protection authentication framework is proposed is based on blockchain. Authenticated communication is performed between vehicle nodes and roadside units (as trusted authorities) by using authentication and access authentication schemes. Secondly, the trusted cluster head selected through the weight indicator is responsible for forwarding the information to the Trust Authority (TA), which then forwards the data to cloud storage and records the certificate and hash value on the distributed blockchain, along with other related information. In addition, the solution also uses a practical Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm to ensure the security and reliability of the blockchain, as well as the efficiency and decentralization of cloud storage. Finally, the TA revokes the certificate of the malicious vehicle node and clears it from the blockchain. Security analysis experiments show that our solution can effectively resist various threats such as counterfeiting, replay attacks, forgery and data tampering, thereby ensuring the security of Internet of Vehicles data sharing.

Traffic offloading is part of the control plane problem, which requires fast decision-making in complex V2X systems. This study presents a novel ratio-based offloading strategy using the twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm to optimize offloading ratios in a two-tier V2X system, enabling computation at both RSUs and the edge. The offloading optimization covers both vertical and horizontal offloading, introducing a continuous search space that needs fast decision-making to accommodate fluctuating traffic in complex V2X systems. We developed a V2X environment to evaluate the performance of the offloading agent, incorporating latency models, state and action definitions, and reward structures. A comparative analysis with metaheuristic simulated annealing (SA) is conducted, and the impact of single versus multiple offloading agents with deployment options at a centralized central office (CO) is examined. Evaluation results indicate that TD3's decision time is five orders of magnitude faster than SA. For 10 and 50 sites, SA takes 602 and 20,421 seconds, respectively, while single-agent TD3 requires 4 to 24 milliseconds and multi-agent TD3 takes 1 to 3 milliseconds. The average latency for SA ranges from 0.18 to 0.32 milliseconds, single-agent TD3 from 0.26 to 0.5 milliseconds, and multi-agent TD3 from 0.22 to 0.45 milliseconds, demonstrating that TD3 approximates SA performance with initial training.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54346,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Communications","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100862"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825408","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}

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) offloading, in which computation-intensive tasks are offloaded to underutilized vehicles, has been proposed. However, V2V offloading faces the challenges of task transmission reliability and task computation reliability. In V2V offloading, tasks are transmitted via V2V communication, which is volatile and spotty because of rapidly changing network topology and channel conditions between vehicles, resulting in time-varying delays of task transmission and even loss of connectivity. Thus, it is challenging to complete V2V offloading within a given delay constraint. In addition, the realistic diverse vehicular environment always comes with malicious vehicles, which can cause irreparable harm to V2V offloading. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a V2V task offloading scheme called Redundant Task Offloading with Dual-Reliability (RTODR), aiming to minimize task offloading costs while ensuring both task transmission reliability and task computation reliability in a Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)-assisted vehicular network. Specifically, for a computation task, a V2V connection is considered reliable only if the task can be successfully transmitted via the V2V connection within the deadline of the task. To ensure task computation reliability, task computation results from a trusty service vehicle are considered to be reliable. Then we formally model a Minimizing Task Offloading Cost with Dual-reliability (MTOCD) problem, which is mathematically formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. Afterward, we propose a heuristic redundant task offloading algorithm, named Dual-Reliability Offloading (DRO), to solve the problem.
