TIME-CRITICAL COMMUNICATION AND COMPUTATION FOR INTELLIGENT VEHICULAR NETWORKS

Vehicular networks are expected to empower auto mated driving and intelligent transportation via vehicle-to-everything(V2X)communications and edge/cloud-assisted computation,and in the meantime Cellular V2X(C-V2X)is gaining wide support from the global industrial ecosystem.The 5G NR-V2X technology is the evolution of LTE-V2X,which is expected to provide ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications(uRLLC)with 1ms latency and 99.999%reliability.Nevertheless,vehicular networks still face great challenges in supporting many emerging time-critical applications,which comprise sensing,communication and computation as closed-loops.

Performance of power control in inter-cell interference coordination for frequency reuse

To mitigate inter-cell interference in 3G evolution systems, a novel inter-cell interference coordination scheme called soft fractional frequency reuse is proposed in this article, which enables to improve the data rate in cell-edge. On this basis, an inter-cell power control is presented for the inter-cell interference coordination, and the inter-cell balanced signal to interference plus noise ratio （SINR） among users is established for power allocation, which enables mitigation of inter-cell interference. Especially, the power control is based on a novel exponential kernel arithmetic kernel equations. Numerical results show that the proposed rate compared to the existing power control algorithms. equation at higher convergence speed than the traditional scheme improves the throughput and reduces the blocking

1.Introduction With the advance of data collection,data processing,telecommunication and vehicular technologies,connected vehicles(CVs)have been emerging as a crucial branch of smart mobility(Olia et al.,2015;Li et al.,2021).Its basic idea is to realize real-time exchanges and processing of essential information,such as positions and destinations,among surrounding vehicles and infrastructures.

Improved resource allocation strategy in SU-CoMP network

Coordinated multi-point transmission and reception （CoMP） for single user, named as SU-CoMP, is considered as an efficient approach to mitigate inter-cell interference in orthogonal frequency division multiple access （OFDMA） systems. Two prevalent approaches in SU-CoMP are coordinated scheduling （CS） and joint processing （JP）. Although JP in SU-CoMP has been proved to achieve a great link performance improvement for the cell-edge user, efficient resource allocation （RA） on the system level is quite needed. However, so far limited work has been done considering JP, and most existing schemes achieved the improvement of cell-edge performance at cost of the cell-average performance degradation compared to the single cell RA. In this paper, a two-phase strategy is proposed for SU-CoMP networks. CS and JP are combined to improve both cell-edge and cell-average performance. Compared to the single cell RA, simulation results demonstrate that, the proposed strategy leads to both higher cell-average and cell-edge throughput.

Multi-beam cooperative frequency reuse for coordinated multi-point transmission

Coordinated multi-point （CoMP） joint transmission is considered in the 3rd generation partnership project （3GPP） long term evolution （LTE）-advanced as a key technique to mitigate inter-cell interference and improve the cell-edge performance. To effectively apply CoMP joint transmission,efficient frequency reuse schemes need to be designed to support resource management cooperation among coordinated cells. However,most of the existing frequency reuse schemes are not suitable for CoMP systems due to not considering multi-point joint transmission scenarios in their frequency reuse rules. In addition,the restrictions of frequency resources in those schemes result in a high blocking probability. To solve the above two problems,a multi-beam cooperative frequency reuse （MBCFR） scheme is proposed in this paper,which reuses all the available frequency resources in each sector and supports multi-beam joint transmission for cell-edge users. Besides,the blocking probability is proved to be efficiently reduced. Moreover,a frequency-segment-sequence based MBCFR scheme is introduced to further reduce the inter-cell interference. System level simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme results in higher cell-edge average throughput and cell-average throughput with lower blocking probability.
