Wireless communication is a basis of the vision of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Given the heterogeneity of both wireless communication technologies and CAV applications, one question that is critical to technology road-mapping and policy making is which communication technology is more suitable for a specific CAV application. Focusing on the technical aspect of this question, we present a multi-scale spatiotemporal perspective of wireless communication technologies as well as canonical CAV applications in active safety, fuel economy and emission control, vehicle automation, and vehicular infotainment. Our analysis shows that CAV applications in the regime of small spatiotemporal scale communication requirements are best supported by V2V communications, applications in the regime of large spatiotemporal scale communication requirements are better supported by cellular communications, and applications in the regime of small spatial scale but medium-to-large temporal scale can be supported by both V2V and cellular communications and provide the opportunity of leveraging heterogeneous communication resources.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) utilize a variety of onboard sensors to sense their surrounding environment. CAVs can improve their perception capabilities if vehicles exchange information about what they sense using V2X communications. This is known as cooperative or collective perception (or sensing). A frequent transmission of collective perception messages could improve the perception capabilities of CAVs. However, this improvement can be compromised if vehicles generate too many messages and saturate the communications channel. An important aspect is then when vehicles should generate the perception messages. ETSI has proposed the first set of message generation rules for collective perception. These rules define when vehicles should generate collective perception messages and what should be their content. We show that the current rules generate a high number of collective perception messages with information about a small number of detected objects. This results in an inefficient use of the communication channel that reduces the effectiveness of collective perception. We address this challenge and propose an improved algorithm that modifies the generation of collective perception messages. We demonstrate that the proposed solution improves the reliability of V2X communication and the perception of CAVs.
This paper puts forth a networking paradigm, referred to as just-in-time (JIT) communication, to support client-server applications with stringent request-response latency requirement. Of interest is not just the round-trip delay of the network, but the actual request-response latency experienced by the application. The JIT framework contains two salient features. At the client side, the communication layer will pull a request from the client just when there is an upcoming transmission opportunity from the network. This ensures that the request contains information that is as fresh as possible (e.g., a sensor reading obtained just before the transmission opportunity). At the server side, the network ascertains that the server, after receiving and processing the request to generate a response (e.g., a control command to be sent to the client), will have a transmission opportunity at just this time. We realize the JIT system, including the protocol stack, over a Time-Division-Multiple-Access (TDMA) network implemented on a System-on-Chip (SoC) platform. We prove that a TDMA network with a power-of-2 time slots per superframe is optimal for realizing the server-side JIT function. Our experimental results validate that JIT networks can yield significantly lower request-response latency than networks without JIT support can.
Smart grid, regarded as the next generation power grid, uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. In this work we present our vision on smart grid from the perspective of wireless communications and networking technologies. We present wireless communication and networking paradigms for four typical scenarios in the future smart grid and also point out the research challenges of the wireless communication and networking technologies used in smart grid
The active growth and dynamic nature of cellular networks makes network troubleshooting challenging. Identification of network problems leveraging on machine learning has gained a lot of visibility in the past few years, resulting in dramatically improved cellular network services. In this paper, we present a novel methodology to automate the fault identification process in a cellular network and to classify network anomalies, which combines supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms. Our experiments using real data from operational commercial mobile networks obtained through drive-test measurements as well as via the MONROE platform show that our method can automatically identify and classify networking anomalies, thus enabling timely and precise troubleshooting actions.
The problem of quality of service (QoS) and jamming-aware communications is considered in an adversarial wireless network subject to external eavesdropping and jamming attacks. To ensure robust communication against jamming, an interference-aware routing protocol is developed that allows nodes to avoid communication holes created by jamming attacks. Then, a distributed cooperation framework, based on deep reinforcement learning, is proposed that allows nodes to assess network conditions and make deep learning-driven, distributed, and real-time decisions on whether to participate in data communications, defend the network against jamming and eavesdropping attacks, or jam other transmissions. The objective is to maximize the network performance that incorporates throughput, energy efficiency, delay, and security metrics. Simulation results show that the proposed jamming-aware routing approach is robust against jamming and when throughput is prioritized, the proposed deep reinforcement learning approach can achieve significant (measured as three-fold) increase in throughput, compared to a benchmark policy with fixed roles assigned to nodes.
