Summary

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have extensive potential applications in various fields, such as smart healthcare, smart industry, intelligent agriculture, and transportation. Despite these promising prospects, designing productive IoT and IoV systems involves several major challenges. For example, communication networks must be fault-resistant in order to achieve reliable information distribution; data collection, processing and transmission may incur excessive delay and data loss, which would reduce the reliability of IoT and IoV; ensuring the security and privacy of users in heterogeneous IoT and IoV is not straightforward. The newest developments including edge computing, 5G communication technologies, reinforcement learning, federated learning, and other technologies provide effective solutions to these problems.


The goal of this Special Issue is to focus on security, reliability, resource optimization, sensor topology optimization, and sensor information collection and analysis in IoT and IoV systems. We particularly welcome the achievements yielded by the investigation of novel communication and networking technologies in IoT and IoV, such as ultra-reliable and low-latency communication, intelligent communication network collaboration, communication performance analysis and optimization. This Research Topic invites novel contributions from academia and industrial sectors to research, develop and investigate the opportunities, challenges, and solutions related to the implementation of innovative architectures, methods, approaches, and technologies for IoT and IoV.

    Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) will carry a large amount of security and privacy-related data, which makes the secure communication between the IoV terminals increasingly critical. This paper studies the joint beamforming for physical-layer security transmission in the coexistence of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) assistance, taking into account hardware impairments. A communication model for physical-layer security transmission is established when the eavesdropping user is present and the base station antenna has hardware impairments assisted by RIS. Based on this model, we propose to maximize the V2I physical-layer security… More >

    Abstract Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) make it easy to transfer information between vehicles, and this feature is utilized to enable collaborative decision-making between vehicles to enhance the safety, economy, and entertainment of vehicle operation. The high mobility of vehicles leads to a time-varying topology between vehicles, which makes inter-vehicle information transfer challenging in terms of delay control and ensuring the stability of collaborative decision-making among vehicles. The clustering algorithm is a method aimed at improving the efficiency of VANET communication. Currently, most of the research based on this method focuses on maintaining the stability of vehicle… More >

    Abstract With the development of vehicles towards intelligence and connectivity, vehicular data is diversifying and growing dramatically. A task allocation model and algorithm for heterogeneous Intelligent Connected Vehicle (ICV) applications are proposed for the dispersed computing network composed of heterogeneous task vehicles and Network Computing Points (NCPs). Considering the amount of task data and the idle resources of NCPs, a computing resource scheduling model for NCPs is established. Taking the heterogeneous task execution delay threshold as a constraint, the optimization problem is described as the problem of maximizing the utilization of computing resources by NCPs.

    Abstract The mobility and connective capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more and more important in defense, commercial, and research domains. However, their open communication makes UAVs susceptible to undesirable passive attacks such as eavesdropping or jamming. Recently, the inefficiency of traditional cryptography-based techniques has led to the addition of Physical Layer Security (PLS). This study focuses on the advanced PLS method for passive eavesdropping in UAV-aided vehicular environments, proposing a solution to complement the conventional cryptography approach. Initially, we present a performance analysis of first-order secrecy metrics in 6G-enabled UAV systems, namely hybrid… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.2, pp. 1809-1829, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.050975
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advanced Communication and Networking Technologies for Internet of Things and Internet of Vehicles)
    Abstract In current research on task offloading and resource scheduling in vehicular networks, vehicles are commonly assumed to maintain constant speed or relatively stationary states, and the impact of speed variations on task offloading is often overlooked. It is frequently assumed that vehicles can be accurately modeled during actual motion processes. However, in vehicular dynamic environments, both the tasks generated by the vehicles and the vehicles’ surroundings are constantly changing, making it difficult to achieve real-time modeling for actual dynamic vehicular network scenarios. Taking into account the actual dynamic vehicular scenarios, this paper considers the real-time… More >
