Vehicular communications networks (VANETs) enable information exchange among vehicles, other end devices and public networks, which plays a key role in road safety/infotainment, intelligent transportation system, and self-driving system. As the vehicular connectivity soars, and new on-road mobile applications and technologies emerge, VANETs are generating an ever-increasing amount of data, requiring fast and reliable transmissions through VANETs. On the other hand, a variety of VANETs related data can be analyzed and utilized to improve the performance of VANETs. In this article, we first review the VANETs technologies to efficiently and reliably transmit the big data. Then, the methods employing big data for studying VANETs characteristics and improving VANETs performance are discussed. Furthermore, we present a case study where machine learning schemes are applied to analyze the VANETs measurement data for efficiently detecting negative communication conditions.

Location information claimed by devices will play an ever-increasing role in future wireless networks such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT). Against this background, the verification of such claimed location information will be an issue of growing importance. A formal information-theoretic Location Verification System (LVS) can address this issue to some extent, but such a system usually operates within the limits of idealistic assumptions on a-priori information on the proportion of genuine users in the field. In this work we address this critical limitation by using a Neural Network (NN) showing how such a NN based LVS is capable of efficiently functioning even when the proportion of genuine users is completely unknown a-priori. We demonstrate the improved performance of this new form of LVS based on Time of Arrival measurements from multiple verifying base stations within the context of vehicular networks, quantifying how our NN-LVS outperforms the stand-alone information-theoretic LVS in a range of anticipated real-world conditions. We also show the efficient performance for the NN-LVS when the users signals have added Non-Line-of-Site (NLoS) bias in them. This new LVS can be applied to a range of location-centric applications within the domain of the IoT.
Millimeter wave channels exhibit structure that allows beam alignment with fewer channel measurements than exhaustive beam search. From a compressed sensing (CS) perspective, the received channel measurements are usually obtained by multiplying a CS matrix with a sparse representation of the channel matrix. Due to the constraints imposed by analog processing, designing CS matrices that efficiently exploit the channel structure is, however, challenging. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep learning technique to design a structured CS matrix that is well suited to the underlying channel distribution, leveraging both sparsity and the particular spatial structure that appears in vehicular channels. The channel measurements acquired with the designed CS matrix are then used to predict the best beam for link configuration. Simulation results for vehicular communication channels indicate that our deep learning-based approach achieves better beam alignment than standard CS techniques that use the random phase shift-based design.
High demands for industrial networks lead to increasingly large sensor networks. However, the complexity of networks and demands for accurate data require better stability and communication quality. Conventional clustering methods for ad-hoc networks are based on topology and connectivity, leading to unstable clustering results and low communication quality. In this paper, we focus on two situations: time-evolving networks, and multi-channel ad-hoc networks. We model ad-hoc networks as graphs and introduce community detection methods to both situations. Particularly, in time-evolving networks, our method utilizes the results of community detection to ensure stability. By using similarity or human-in-the-loop measures, we construct a new weighted graph for final clustering. In multi-channel networks, we perform allocations from the results of multiplex community detection. Experiments on real-world datasets show that our method outperforms baselines in both stability and quality.
This paper investigates the integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) networks. To realize ISAC, an effective beamforming design is essential which however, highly depends on the availability of accurate channel tracking requiring large training overhead and computational complexity. Motivated by this, we adopt a deep learning (DL) approach to implicitly learn the features of historical channels and directly predict the beamforming matrix to be adopted for the next time slot to maximize the average achievable sum-rate of an ISAC system. The proposed method can bypass the need of explicit channel tracking process and reduce the signaling overhead significantly. To this end, a general sum-rate maximization problem with Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs)-based sensing constraints is first formulated for the considered ISAC system. Then, by exploiting the penalty method, a versatile unsupervised DL-based predictive beamforming design framework is developed to address the formulated design problem. As a realization of the developed framework, a historical channels-based convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) network (HCL-Net) is devised for predictive beamforming in the ISAC-based V2I network. Specifically, the convolution and LSTM modules are successively adopted in the proposed HCL-Net to exploit the spatial and temporal dependencies of communication channels to further improve the learning performance. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed predictive method not only guarantees the required sensing performance, but also achieves a satisfactory sum-rate that can approach the upper bound obtained by the genie-aided scheme with the perfect instantaneous channel state information.
Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is a promising candidate for supporting reliable information transmission in high-mobility vehicular networks. In this paper, we consider the employment of the integrated (radar) sensing and communication (ISAC) technique for assisting OTFS transmission in both uplink and downlink vehicular communication systems. Benefiting from the OTFS-ISAC signals, the roadside unit (RSU) is capable of simultaneously transmitting downlink information to the vehicles and estimating the sensing parameters of vehicles, e.g., locations and speeds, based on the reflected echoes. Then, relying on the estimated kinematic parameters of vehicles, the RSU can construct the topology of the vehicular network that enables the prediction of the vehicle states in the following time instant. Consequently, the RSU can effectively formulate the transmit downlink beamformers according to the predicted parameters to counteract the channel adversity such that the vehicles can directly detect the information without the need of performing channel estimation. As for the uplink transmission, the RSU can infer the delays and Dopplers associated with different channel paths based on the aforementioned dynamic topology of the vehicular network. Thus, inserting guard space as in conventional methods are not needed for uplink channel estimation which removes the required training overhead. Finally, an efficient uplink detector is proposed by taking into account the channel estimation uncertainty. Through numerical simulations, we demonstrate the benefits of the proposed ISAC-assisted OTFS transmission scheme.
