Virtual Cells and Virtual Networks Enablelow-Latency Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication

摘要

This paper presents a framework for pursuing lowlatency communication among V2V networks underlaying V2I networks. To achieve low-latency communication, solely relying on the improvement of the air-interface may not be enough. To cope with the highly dynamic environment of vehicular networks, a time dynamic optimization approach is proposed that improves the latency performance through not only optimization of spectrum resources but also by constraining the network switching rate. To further decrease the complexity of the time dynamic optimization problem, we convert the original problem to a deterministic optimization problem through the Lyapunov Optimization Theory. The proposed algorithm becomes a more suitable scheme for the vehicular network. Analytical results show that the proposed scheme can approach the best tradeoff between the latency performance and the network switching rate. Simulation results are provided to verify the proposed algorithm.
