Distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization theory in VANET by Guozhen TAN, Guodong HAN, Fuxin ZHANG, Nan DING, Mingjian LIU

“…Cooperative vehicle safety system (CVSS) rely on periodical beacons to track neighboring vehicles.High traffic density often causes channel congestion,seriously damaging the performance of CVSS.Existing congestion control strategies aim to ensure the performance in network layer,without considering the service requirements of vehicles in different driving contexts.To solve the problem,a distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization (NUM) theory was proposed.First of all,the NUM model for channel resource allocation was introduced.A utility function reflecting vehicle’s safety requirements was proposed in the model.Then under the condition of fixed transmit powers,a optimization problem of channel resource allocation was proposed.Lastly,to solve the optimization problem,a distributed congestion control algorithm named utility-based rate congestion control (UBRCC) algorithm was designed,the algorithm worked out the optimal beaconing rate by updating vehicle’s congestion price,realizing the resource allocation according to vehicle’s safety requirements.Simulation results validate that UBRCC algorithm can efficiently control channel congestion,reduce transmission delay,ensure reliable data transmission and satisfies the requirements of safety applications.…”

“…To solve the problems of ground passive eavesdropping when ground users offload data to the multi-UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) edge computing network, a secure data offloading strategy that minimized system energy consumption by jointly optimizing user matching and resource allocation was proposed.Considering the constraints of system delay, communication resources and computing resources, the probability of security interruption was used to restrict the security performance of the data offload process.By using block coordinate descent and successive convex approximation algorithm, the user transmission power, offload factor, UAV computing resource allocation and jamming power were jointly optimized.A pair-wise stable user matching algorithm was proposed to minimize the total energy consumption of UAV system.Simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm can realize the safe offloading of data, and has good performance in energy consumption and delay by comparing with the conventional strategies.…”

User-centric energy efficiency fairness in backscatter-assisted wireless powered communication network by Yinghui YE, Liqin SHI, Guangyue LU

“…In order to address the unfair user-centric energy efficiency (EE) problem caused by channel difference in the backscatter-assisted wireless powered communication network,a resource allocation scheme was proposed.Firstly,a mixed integer nonconvex fractional programming problem was formulated to maximize the minimum user-centric EE,subject to the quality of service and energy-causality constraints.Based on the generalized fractional programming theory,the original problem was transformed into a mixed integer nonconvex subtraction problem.With the aid of the slack variable,the proof by contradiction,the auxiliary variable and the mixed integer nonconvex subtraction problem were further transformed into an equivalent convex problem.Finally,an iterative algorithm was proposed to obtain the optimal solutions.Computer simulations validated the quick convergence of the proposed iterative algorithm,and that the developed resource allocation scheme efficiently guarantees the fairness among users in terms of EE.…”

“…For the problems of uncertain forwarding scheduling and long solving time of time-sensitive network modal in polymorphic network, a joint routing and scheduling mechanism of time-sensitive network modal based on CSQF was proposed.Considering the requirement of bounded delay, network state and different routing mechanisms, a hybrid resource scheduling problem of joint cache queue and routing was formulated to optimize the resource usage of the entire network.Then, the traffic characteristics and cache queue utilization was used to predict the cache utilization of the next cycle, which was based on deep reinforcement learning.In addition, by using multi-queue CSQF forwarding scheduling mechanism and explicit routing algorithm based on cache utilization, an iterative scheduling algorithm was proposed to achieve deterministic forwarding and resource allocation.Simulation results show that the mechanism can effectively adjust the transmission scheduling of deterministic applications according to the resource usage of the network, and has better schedulability compared with other off-line scheduling mechanisms.…”
