Intelligent vehicle-to-vehicle communications with importance of fairness and information freshness

Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) showcase cutting-edge services designed to revolutionize transportation and mobility, especially within future smart cities. These services play a pivotal role in bolstering traffic safety, traffic flow management, infotainment, and the dependability of edge-assisted autonomous driving. Consequently, ITS introduces the Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication paradigm, facilitating continuous connectivity between moving vehicles and their surroundings. Real-time data exchange regarding acceleration, position, speed, and braking status enables collision avoidance and congestion mitigation. V2V communication streamlines communication pathways, resulting in safer and more comfortable driving experiences, particularly in high-risk scenarios. This thesis investigates two distinct challenges within V2V communications [...]
