Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) represents an innovative and emerging field which aims to achieve the integration of vehicles with the Internet and other advanced technologies, enabling for advanced communication, data sharing, and automation to improve daily transportation safety, efficiency, and convenience. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended for the presentation of new ideas and experimental results for Advances in the Internet of Vehicles from design, service, and theory to architecture and applications. Areas relevant to Advances in the Internet of Vehicles include, but are not limited to: advanced communication technology-enabled connectivity, autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems, novel concurrent algorithms and applications, edge/cloud-assisted IoV, large-scale network management, mobile health care, IoV ecosystem and environmental impact analysis, IoV security, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning such as explainable AI, and other sources. In addition, the IoV necessary to achieve high performance and techniques for resource sharing market, in the context of parallel and distributed systems, resource and service trading, and cost-effective and energy-aware transportation, are also topics of interest.

Hybrid beamforming (HBF) has been regarded as one of the most promising technologies in millimeter Wave (mmWave) communication systems.

Hybrid beamforming (HBF) has been regarded as one of the most promising technologies in millimeter Wave (mmWave) communication systems. In order to guarantee the communication quality in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios, joint HBF design for the mmWave amplify-and-forward (AF) relay communication system is studied in this paper. The ideal case is first considered where the mmWave half-duplex (HD) AF relay system operates with channel state information (CSI) accurately known. In order to tackle the non-convex problem, a manifold optimization (MO)-based alternating optimization algorithm is proposed, where an optimization problem containing only constant modulus constraints in Euclidean space can be converted to an unconstrained optimization problem in a Riemann manifold. Furthermore, considering more practical cases with estimation errors of CSI, we investigate the robust joint HBF design with the system operating in full-duplex (FD) mode to obtain higher spectral efficiency (SE). A null-space projection (NP) based self-interference cancellation (SIC) algorithm is developed to attenuate the self-interference (SI). Different from the traditional SI suppression algorithm, there’s no limit on the number of RF chains. Numerical results reveal that our proposed algorithms has a good convergence and can effectively deal with the influence of different CSI estimation errors. A significant performance improvement can be achieved in contrast with other approaches. Full article
