Abstract:

Autonomous vehicles emerge as a critical technology toward digital society.  To satisfy the ultimate reliability and safety, ultra-reliable and low latency communication (uRLLC) in vehicular networks warrantees the success of massive operation of autonomous vehicles. By considering multi-scale control, effective cloud computing, edge computing, and on-board computing, a new technological paradigm is required to facilitate smooth real-time functioning to interact with environments and other agents. Based on the proactive open-loop wireless communication and virtual-cell, anticipatory mobility management to predict proactive network association warrantees the realization of uRLLC in vehicular networks. Machine learning techniques fitting mobile networks lead to successful anticipatory mobility management taking processing scenario and data integrity into account, which is further verified using a real-world vehicular dataset. Machine learning indeed enables, not just enhances, future mobile networking technology, and fundamentally suggests new network architecture to incorporate machine learning.
