Dynamic NOMA-Based Computation Offloading in Vehicular Platoons

Approximation error in PDE-based modelling of vehicular platoons

Learning-Based Task Offloading for Vehicular Cloud Computing Systems

Vehicular cloud computing (VCC) is proposed to effectively utilize and share the computing and storage resources on vehicles. However, due to the mobility of vehicles, the network topology, the wireless channel states and the available computing resources vary rapidly and are difficult to predict. In this work, we develop a learning-based task offloading framework using the multi-armed bandit (...

On the peaking phenomenon in the control of vehicular platoons

We investigate the peaking phenomenon in the control of large-scale vehicular platoons. These systems are of considerable practical importance as they represent an example of systems on lattices in which different subsystems are dynamically coupled only through feedback controls. We demonstrate that imposing a uniform rate of convergence for all vehicles towards their desired trajectories may g...

Vehicular WiFi offloading: Challenges and solutions

WiFi offloading is envisioned as a promising solution to the mobile data explosion problem in cellular networks. WiFi offloading for moving vehicles, however, poses unique characteristics and challenges, due to high mobility, fluctuating mobile channels, etc. In this paper, we focus on the problem of WiFi offloading in vehicular communication environments. Specifically, we discuss the challenge...

Supporting Beacon and Event-Driven Messages in Vehicular Platoons through Token-Based Strategies.

Timely and reliable inter-vehicle communications is a critical requirement to support traffic safety applications, such as vehicle platooning. Furthermore, low-delay communications allow the platoon to react quickly to unexpected events. In this scope, having a predictable and highly effective medium access control (MAC) method is of utmost importance. However, the currently available IEEE 802....
