Abstract We consider a multipoint channel charting (MPCC) algorithm for radio resource management (RRM) in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication systems. A massive MIMO (mMIMO) infrastructure network performs logical localization of vehicles to a MPCC, based on V2I communication signals. Combining logical distances given by channel charting with V2V measurements, the network trains a function to predict the quality of a direct V2V communication link from observed V2I communication signals. In MPCC, the network uses machine learning techniques to learn a logical radio map from V2I channel state information (CSI) samples transmitted from unknown locations. The network extracts CSI features, constructs a dissimilarity matrix between CSI samples, and performs dimensional reduction of the CSI feature space. Here, we use Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) for dimensional reduction. The resulting MPCC is a two-dimensional map where the spatial distance between a pair of vehicles is closely approximated by the distance in the MPCC. In addition to V2I CSI, the network acquires V2V channel quality information for vehicles in the training set and develops a link quality predictor. MPCC provides a mapping for any vehicle location in the training set. To use MPCC for cognitive RRM of V2I and V2V communications, network management has to find logical MPCC locations for vehicles not in the training set, based on newly acquired V2I CSI measurements. For this, we develop an extension of LE-based MPCC to out-of-sample CSI samples. We evaluate the performance of link quality prediction for V2V communications in a mMIMO millimeter-wave scenario, in terms of the relative error of the predicted outage probability.

Graph-Based Radio Resource Management for Vehicular Networks
This paper investigates the resource allocation problem in device-to-device (D2D)-based vehicular communications, based on slow fading statistics of channel state information (CSI), to alleviate signaling overhead for reporting rapidly varying accurate CSI of mobile links. We consider the case when each vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) link shares spectrum with multiple vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) links. Leveraging the slow fading statistical CSI of mobile links, we maximize the sum V2I capacity while guaranteeing the reliability of all V2V links. We propose a graph- based algorithm that uses graph partitioning tools to divide highly interfering V2V links into different clusters before formulating the spectrum sharing problem as a weighted 3-dimensional matching problem, which is then solved through adapting a high-performance approximation algorithm.

The integration of sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave (mmWave) bands has a great potential to enable both reliable coverage and high data rate in future vehicular networks. Nevertheless, during mmWave vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) handovers, the coverage blindness of directional beams makes it a significant challenge to discover target mmWave remote radio units (mmW-RRUs) whose active beams may radiate somewhere that handover vehicles are not in. Besides, fast and soft handovers are also urgently needed in vehicular networks. Based on these observations, to solve the target discovery problem, we utilize channel state information (CSI) of sub-6 GHz bands and Kernel-based machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict vehicles’ positions and then use them to pre-activate target mmW-RRUs. Considering that the regular movement of vehicles on almost linearly paved roads with finite corner turns will generate some regularity in handovers, to accelerate handovers, we propose to use historical handover data and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) ML algorithms to predict handover decisions without involving time-consuming target selection and beam training processes. To achieve soft handovers, we propose to employ vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) connections to forward data for V2I links. Theoretical and simulation results are provided to validate the feasibility of the proposed schemes.more » « less

Abstract—Millimeter wave wireless spectrum deployments will allow vehicular communications to share high data rate vehicular sensor data in real-time.The highly directional nature of wireless links in millimeter spectral bands will require continuous channel measurements to ensure the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) beams are aligned to provide the best channel. Using real-world vehicular mmWave measurement data at 28GHz, we determine the optimal beam sweeping period, i.e. the frequency of the channel measurements,to align the RX beams to the best channel directions for maximizing the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) throughput.We show that in a realistic vehicular traffic environment in Austin,TX, for a vehicle traveling at an average speed of 10.5mph,a beam sweeping period of 300 ms in future V2I communication standards would maximize theV2I throughput,using a system of four RX phased arrays that scanned the channel 360 degrees in the azimuth and 30 degrees above and below the boresight.We also investigate the impact of the number of active RX chains controlling the steerable phased arrays on V2I throughput. Reducing the number of RX chains controlling the phased arrays helps reduce the cost of the vehicular mmWave hardware while multiple RX chains, although more expensive,provide more robustness to beam direction changes at the vehicle,allowing near maximum throughput over a wide range of beam sweep periods.We show that the overhead of utilizing one RX chain instead of four leads to a10% drop in mean V2I throughput over six non-line- of-sight runs in real traffic conditions, with each run being 10 to 20 seconds long over a distance of 40 to 90 meters.

null (Ed.)For energy-efficient Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Eco-driving control on signalized arterials under uncertain traffic conditions, this paper explicitly considers traffic control devices (e.g., road markings, traffic signs, and traffic signals) and road geometry (e.g., road shapes, road boundaries, and road grades) constraints in a data-driven optimization-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) modeling framework. This modeling framework uses real-time vehicle driving and traffic signal data via Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications. In the MPC-based control model, this paper mathematically formulates location-based traffic control devices and road geometry constraints using the geographic information from High-Definition (HD) maps. The location-based traffic control devices and road geometry constraints have the potential to improve the safety, energy, efficiency, driving comfort, and robustness of connected and automated driving on real roads by considering interrupted flow facility locations and road geometry in the formulation. We predict a set of uncertain driving states for the preceding vehicles through an online learning-based driving dynamics prediction model. We then solve a constrained finite-horizon optimal control problem with the predicted driving states to obtain a set of Eco-driving references for the controlled vehicle. To obtain the optimal acceleration or deceleration commands for the controlled vehicle with the set of Eco-driving references, we formulate a Distributionally Robust Stochastic Optimization (DRSO) model (i.e., a special case of data-driven optimization models under moment bounds) with Distributionally Robust Chance Constraints (DRCC) with location-based traffic control devices and road geometry constraints. We design experiments to demonstrate the proposed model under different traffic conditions using real-world connected vehicle trajectory data and Signal Phasing and Timing (SPaT) data on a coordinated arterial with six actuated intersections on Fuller Road in Ann Arbor, Michigan from the Safety Pilot Model Deployment (SPMD) project.more » « less

null (Ed.)Internet of Vehicles (IoV) in 5G is regarded as a backbone for intelligent transportation system in smart city, where vehicles are expected to communicate with drivers, with road-side wireless infrastructure, with other vehicles, with traffic signals and different city infrastructure using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and/or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. In IoV, the network topology changes based on drivers' destination, intent or vehicles' movements and road structure on which the vehicles travel. In IoV, vehicles are assumed to be equipped with computing devices to process data, storage devices to store data and communication devices to communicate with other vehicles or with roadside infrastructure (RSI). It is vital to authenticate data in IoV to make sure that legitimate data is being propagated in IoV. Thus, security stands as a vital factor in IoV. The existing literature contains some limitations for robust security in IoV such as high delay introduced by security algorithms, security without privacy, unreliable security and reduced overall communication efficiency. To address these issues, this paper proposes the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based Ant Colony Optimization Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (ACO-AODV) routing protocol which avoids suspicious vehicles during message dissemination in IoV. Specifically, our proposed protocol comprises three components: i) certificate authority (CA) which maps vehicle's publicly available info such as number plates with cryptographic keys using ECC; ii) malicious vehicle (MV) detection algorithm which works based on trust level calculated using status message interactions; and iii) secure optimal path selection in an adaptive manner based on the intent of communications using ACO-AODV that avoids malicious vehicles. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed approach provides better results than the existing approaches.more » « less
