mmWave-NOMA-Based Low-Latency and High-Reliable Communications for Enhancement of V2X Services

Abstract

The enhanced vehicle-to-everything (eV2X) systems have stricter constraints of latency and reliability than before. To meet the low latency and high reliability (LLHR) demands, the investigation of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) is of great significance. For the first time, we integrate millimeter wave (mmWave) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) into SPS strategy. The proposed strategy includes the beam division and user clustering process, the power allocation process, and the vehicular user equipment (VUE)-resource block (RB) matching process. Firstly, the joint-optimization problem in terms of user scheduling indicators and power allocation factors is formulated to minimize the SPS period. This problem is then proved to be non-deterministic polynomial hard (NP-hard) by being reduced into a vertex coloring problem. To solve it with polynomial complexity, we divide it into two subproblems and calculate them by iteration. For one subproblem, the LLHR power control algorithm is proposed to solve the non-convex reliability-optimization problem, which can provide an evaluation indicator for the user scheduling. For the other subproblem, the beam division and VUE clustering algorithm is designed to reduce the complexity of the VUE-RB matching. After that, the matching problem with peer effects is solved by the proposed unionbased matching algorithm. The analytical results on stability, convergence and computational complexity are presented, and simulation results show that the proposed SPS strategy outperforms the existing schemes.

Enhancing the Reliability of Communication between Vehicle and Everything (V2X) Based on Deep Learning for Providing Efficient Road Traffic Information

“…To improve the V2X utilities such as low latency and high reliability (LLHR) demands, [8] suggested a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) strategy deploying millimeterwave and non-orthogonal multiple access. Through the combination of the power allocation process, beam division and user clustering process, and the vehicular user equipmentresource block (VUE-RB) matching process, their SPS strategy outperformed current schemes in terms of computational complexity, convergence, and stability.…”
