Vehicle-to-Vehicle Forwarding in Green Roadside Infrastructure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Smart scheduling can be used to reduce infrastructure-to-vehicle energy costs in delay-tolerant vehicular networks. In this paper, we show that, by combining this with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) forwarding, downlink (DL) traffic schedules can be generated, whose energy costs are lower than that in the single-hop case. This is accomplished by having the roadside units (RSUs) dynamically forward packets through vehicles, which are in energy-favorable locations. This paper considers both constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR) air-interface options. We first derive offline schedulers for the DL RSU energy usage when V2V forwarding is added to RSU-to-vehicle communication. Both in-channel and off-channel forwarding cases are considered. The CBR and VBR cases are obtained using integer linear programming (ILP) and time-expanded graph (TEG) formulations, respectively. These schedulers provide lower bounds on energy performance and are used for comparisons with a variety of proposed online scheduling algorithms. The first algorithm is based on a greedy local optimization (GLOA). A version of this algorithm, which uses a minimum-cost flow graph (MCFG) scheduler, is also introduced. A more sophisticated algorithm is then proposed, which is based on a finite-window group optimization (FWGO). Results from various experiments show that the proposed algorithms can generate traffic schedules with much improved DL energy requirements compared with the case where V2V packet forwarding is not used. The performance improvements are particularly strong when under heavy loading conditions and when the variation in vehicle communication requirements or vehicle speed is high. Results that compare the proposed algorithms with conventional nonenergy-aware schedulers are also presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
