A Cost-Efficient Greedy Code Dissemination Scheme Through Vehicle to Sensing Devices (V2SD) Communication in Smart City

Abstract

Recently, the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) paradigm is attracting more attention from both academia and industry. In the smart city, there are a huge number of roadside smart devices (RSDs) undertaking various sensing and monitoring tasks, and they collect information among V2X devices for various applications. With the software-defined technology applying into RSDs, one of the challenging issues is how to update the software of RSDs in a fast and low-cost way. We argue that recruiting a large number of vehicles to disseminate the update code for such RSDs through vehicle-to-sensing devices communications technology is an effective method. A cost-efficient greedy code mules selection scheme (CGCSS) is proposed to disseminate code to a huge number of RSDs in the smart city. In CGCSS, a task is defined as the process of transmitting the update code from the mobile code station (MCS) to RSD. So, the goal of CGCSS is to recruit an appropriate number of vehicles to finish the tasks with low cost and high coverage. A measure function is proposed to take the historical trajectories and cost into account. Therefore, the vehicles with high task completion possibility and low price will be selected as code mules (CMs). Then, a high-performance MCS deploy scheme (HMDS) is proposed to select the optimized MCS positions according to the movement and frequency of the CMs to optimize the performance of the system. Finally, extensive experiments using the real trajectory dataset have been done. The results show the better performance of CGCSS than the basic greedy code mule select scheme and the random code mules select scheme in terms of completion rate, average price, and cost-performance ratio, and the results confirm the validity of the proposed HMDS as well. INDEX TERMS Vehicle to everything, code dissemination, vehicles as code mules, recruit vehicles, low cost.

Interpretation of the Magnetic Field Signals Emitted by Encoded Asphalt Pavement Materials

“…Additionally, many government agencies and academia research centers in the United States and several European and Asian countries [1] have been working on infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V)/road-to-vehicle (R2V) communications through investment in research, along with improvements in laws and regulations to promote the development of intelligent transportation infrastructure (ITS). Some of these systems are already used for the design and simulation of intelligent traffic at real intersections [15][16][17], as well as the implementation of Roadside Smart Devices (RSDs), which are composed of a large number of sensing devices in the road with short-range wireless communication for monitoring the physical phenomena happening in the road structure, as well as communicating with the vehicles [18][19][20]. Additional examples also include a hybrid between the visible light communication (VLC) and radio frequency (RF) systems [21][22][23][24], to offer longer distance transmissions and improved I2V.…”

Delay and energy-efficient data collection scheme-based matrix filling theory for dynamic traffic IoT

“…Sensor nodes are battery-powered and deployed in special areas with complex environments. It is conceivable that it is very troublesome to replace the battery for them [58]. In previous studies, the energy consumed by sensor nodes mainly considered the following: (1) due to packet transmission, including send and reception; (2) switching state [59].…”

Adaptive duty cycle control–based opportunistic routing scheme to reduce delay in cyber physical systems

“…The routing scheme is energy efficient and can keep the network with a high lifetime. 40,[51][52][53][54][55] In WSNs, the energy consumption of sensor nodes mainly has the following parts: 56 (a) energy consumed due to transmitting data; (b) energy consumed due to receiving data; (c) energy consumed due to idle waiting; (d) energy consumed due to keeping sleep. According to research, up to 70% of the energy consumed in WSNs is used for data operations, of which data sending and receiving consumes the most energy.…”
