Fog computing has been advocated as an enabling technology for computationally intensive services in smart connected vehicles. Most existing works focus on analyzing the queueing and workload processing latencies associated with fog computing, ignoring the fact that wireless access latency can sometimes dominate the overall latency. This motivates the work in this paper, where we report on a five-month measurement study of the wireless access latency between connected vehicles and a fog/cloud computing system supported by commercially available LTE networks. We propose AdaptiveFog, a novel framework for autonomous and dynamic switching between different LTE networks that implement a fog/cloud infrastructure. AdaptiveFogs main objective is to maximize the service confidence level, defined as the probability that the latency of a given service type is below some threshold. To quantify the performance gap between different LTE networks, we introduce a novel statistical distance metric, called weighted Kantorovich-Rubinstein (K-R) distance. Two scenarios based on finite- and infinite-horizon optimization of short-term and long-term confidence are investigated. For each scenario, a simple threshold policy based on weighted K-R distance is proposed and proved to maximize the latency confidence for smart vehicles. Extensive analysis and simulations are performed based on our latency measurements. Our results show that AdaptiveFog achieves around 30% to 50% improvement in the confidence levels of fog and cloud latencies, respectively.

As 5G communication technology develops, vehicular communications that require high reliability, low latency, and massive connectivity are drawing increasing interest from those in academia and industry. Due to these developing technologies, vehicula
r communication is not limited to vehicle components in the forms of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) networks, but has also been extended to connect with others, such as pedestrians and cellular users. Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) is the conventional vehicular communication standard for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). More recently, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project introduced Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), a competitor to DSRC. Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to consider deploying Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII)devices in the ITS band with two interference mitigation approaches: Detect-and-Vacate (DAV)and Re-channelization (Re-CH). With multiple standard options and interference mitigation approaches, numerous regulatory taxonomies can be identified and notification of relevant technical challenges issued. However, these challenges are much broader than the current and future regulatory taxonomies pursued by the different countries involved. Because their plans differ, the technical and regulatory challenges vary. This paper presents a literature survey about the technical challenges, the current and future ITS band usage plans, and the major research testbeds for the U.S., Europe, China, Korea, and Japan. This survey shows that the most likely deployment taxonomies are (1) DSRC, C-V2X, and Wi-Fi with Re-CH; (2) DSRC and C-V2X with interoperation, and (3) C-V2X only. The most difficult technical challenge is the interoperability between the Wi-Fi-like DSRC and 4G LTE-like C-V2X.
With the incoming introduction of 5G networks and the advancement in technologies, such as Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking, new and emerging networking technologies and use cases are taking shape. One such technology i
s the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), which describes an interconnected system of vehicles and infrastructure. Coupled with recent developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the IoV is transformed into an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). There are, however, several operational considerations that hinder the adoption of ITS systems, including scalability, high availability, and data privacy. To address these challenges, Federated Learning, a collaborative and distributed intelligence technique, is suggested. Through an ITS case study, the ability of a federated model deployed on roadside infrastructure throughout the network to recover from faults by leveraging group intelligence while reducing recovery time and restoring acceptable system performance is highlighted. With a multitude of use cases and benefits, Federated Learning is a key enabler for ITS and is poised to achieve widespread implementation in 5G and beyond networks and applications.
Blockchain has revolutionized how transactions are conducted by ensuring secure and auditable peer-to-peer coordination. This is due to both the development of decentralization, and the promotion of trust among peers. Blockchain and fog computing are
currently being evaluated as potential support for software and a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from banking practices and digital transactions to cyber-physical systems. These systems are designed to work in highly complex, sometimes even adversarial, environments, and to synchronize heterogeneous machines and manufacturing facilities in cyber computational space, and address critical challenges such as computational complexity, security, trust, and data management. Coupling blockchain with fog computing technologies has the potential to identify and overcome these issues. Thus, this paper presents the knowledge of blockchain and fog computing required to improve cyber-physical systems in terms of quality-of-service, data storage, computing and security.
The operation of future intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), communications infrastructure (CI), and power grids (PGs) will be highly interdependent. In particular, autonomous connected vehicles require CI resources to operate, and, thus, commu
nication failures can result in non-optimality in the ITS flow in terms of traffic jams and fuel consumption. Similarly, CI components, e.g., base stations (BSs) can be impacted by failures in the electric grid that is powering them. Thus, malicious attacks on the PG can lead to failures in both the CI and the ITSs. To this end, in this paper, the security of an ITS against indirect attacks carried out through the PG is studied in an interdependent PG-CI-ITS scenario. To defend against such attacks, the administrator of the interdependent critical infrastructure can allocate backup power sources (BPSs) at every BS to compensate for the power loss caused by the attacker. However, due to budget limitations, the administrator must consider the importance of each BS in light of the PG risk of failure, while allocating the BPSs. In this regard, a rigorous analytical framework is proposed to model the interdependencies between the ITS, CI, and PG. Next, a one-to-one relationship between the PG components and ITS streets is derived in order to capture the effect of the PG components failure on the optimality of the traffic flow in the streets. Moreover, the problem of BPS allocation is formulated using a Stackelberg game framework and the Stackelberg equilibrium (SE) of the game is characterized. Simulation results show that the derived SE outperforms any other BPS allocation strategy and can be scalable in linear time with respect to the size of the interdependent infrastructure.
The concept of fog computing is centered around providing computation resources at the edge of network, thereby reducing the latency and improving the quality of service. However, it is still desirable to investigate how and where at the edge of the
network the computation capacity should be provisioned. To this end, we propose a hierarchical capacity provisioning scheme. In particular, we consider a two-tier network architecture consisting of shallow and deep cloudlets and explore the benefits of hierarchical capacity based on queueing analysis. Moreover, we explore two different network scenarios in which the network delay between the two tiers is negligible as well as the case that the deep cloudlet is located somewhere deeper in the network and thus the delay is significant. More importantly, we model the first network delay scenario with bufferless shallow cloudlets as well as the second scenario with finite-size buffer shallow cloudlets, and formulate an optimization problem for each model. We also use stochastic ordering to solve the optimization problem formulated for the first model and an upper bound based technique is proposed for the second model. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated via simulations in which we show the accuracy of the proposed upper bound technique as well as the queue length estimation approach for both randomly generated input and real trace data.
