A Review of Road Accidents Detection through Wireless Technology—5G, MIMO and Internet of Things

Road transport is been used for moving people and all kinds of goods throughout the world. However, it is one mode of transportation that is prone to accidents and it faces a plethora of never-ending challenges, such as the frequent loss of lives and valuables when accident occurs. The best course of action to handle these issues is to set up an autonomous incident detection system using wireless communication, 5G technologies and the Internet of Things. IoT is a seamless technology that increases the connectivity between humans and machines. It is web-based, and improves communication between vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to infrastructures, transfer of data and information to predict incident occurrences through various networks and frameworks such as eCall, OneM2M and integration of mobile broadband. Additionally, internet of things is being adopted for public safety;for instance, it can speed up first responders’ response times to situations by displaying the best routes to a scene of an accident. The rapid development of 5G is happening in parallel with developments of internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and smart platforms for novel applications such as mission-critical communications. 5G is a new generation technology that operates on the Ultra High Spectrum Band UHSB. It is an innovation that uses the pedestrians-vehicle-road-cloud, and the communication between vehicle locations and temperature of high-quality connection. It is essential for intelligent transport systems because it allows for information sharing, prediction of incidences as safety is the primary concern of road transport. This review examines accident detection through 5G technology, integrated mobile broadband, and multiple inputs multiple outputs (MIMO) wireless system. Finally, we conclude by examining recent technology, challenges, present and future research trends.

An Efficient and Reliable Multicasting for Smart Cities

The Internet of thing(IoT)is a growing concept for smart cities,and it is compulsory to communicate data between different networks and devices.In the IoT,communication should be rapid with less delay and overhead.For this purpose,flooding is used for reliable data communication in a smart cities concept but at the cost of higher overhead,energy consumption and packet drop etc.This paper aims to increase the efficiency in term of overhead and reliability in term of delay by using multicasting and unicasting instead of flooding during packet forwarding in a smart city using the IoT concept.In this paper,multicasting and unicasting is used for IoT in smart cities within a receiver-initiated mesh-based topology to disseminate the data to the cluster head.Smart cities networks are divided into cluster head,and each cluster head or core node will be responsible for transferring data to the desired receiver.This protocol is a novel approach according to the best of our knowledge,and it proves to be very useful due to its efficiency and reliability in smart cities concept because IoT is a collection of devices and having a similar interest for transmission of data.The results are implemented in Network simulator 2(NS-2).The result shows that the proposed protocol shows performance in overhead,throughput,packet drop,delay and energy consumption as compared to benchmark schemes.

State-of-the-art survey on digital twin implementations

Digital twin(DT)has garnered attention in both industry and academia.With advances in big data and internet of things(IoTs)technologies,the infrastructure for DT implementation is becoming more readily available.As an emerging technology,there are both potential and challenges.DT is a promising methodology to leverage the modern data explosion to aid engineers,managers,healthcare experts and politicians in managing production lines,patient health and smart cities by providing a comprehensive and high fidelity monitoring,prognostics and diagnostics tools.New research and surveys into the topic are published regularly,as interest in this technology is high although there is a lack of standardization to the definition of a DT.Due to the large amount of information present in a DT system and the dual cyber and physical nature of a DT,augmented reality(AR)is a suitable technology for data visualization and interaction with DTs.This paper seeks to classify different types of DT implementations that have been reported,highlights some researches that have used AR as data visualization tool in DT,and examines the more recent approaches to solve outstanding challenges in DT and the integration of DT and AR.

Intelligent service function chain mapping framework for cloud-and-edge-collaborative IoT

With the rapid development of Internet of thing(IoT) technology, it has become a challenge to deal with the increasing number and diverse requirements of IoT services. By combining burgeoning network function virtualization(NFV) technology with cloud computing and mobile edge computing(MEC), an NFV-enabled cloud-and-edge-collaborative IoT(CECIoT) architecture can efficiently provide flexible service for IoT traffic in the form of a service function chain(SFC) by jointly utilizing edge and cloud resources. In this promising architecture, a difficult issue is how to balance the consumption of resource and energy in SFC mapping. To overcome this challenge, an intelligent energy-and-resource-balanced SFC mapping scheme is designed in this paper. It takes the comprehensive deployment consumption as the optimization goal, and applies a deep Q-learning(DQL)-based SFC mapping(DQLBM) algorithm as well as an energy-based topology adjustment(EBTA) strategy to make efficient use of the limited network resources, while satisfying the delay requirement of users. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can decrease service delay, as well as energy and resource consumption.
