Software-Defined Vehicular Networks With Trust Management: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The appropriate design of a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) has become a pivotal way to build an efficient smart transportation system, which enables various applications associated with traffic safety and highly-efficient transportation. VANETs are vulnerable to the threat of malicious nodes stemming from its dynamicity and infrastructure-less nature and causing performance degradation. Recently, software-defined networking (SDN) has provided a feasible way to manage VANETs dynamically. In this article, we propose a novel software-defined trust based VANET architecture (SD-TDQL) in which the centralized SDN controller is served as a learning agent to get the optimal communication link policy using a deep$Q$-learning approach. The trust of each vehicle and the reverse delivery ratio are considered in a joint optimization problem, which is modeled as a Markov decision process with state space, action space, and reward function. Specifically, we use the expected transmission count ($ETX$) as a metric to evaluate the quality of the communication link for the connected vehicles’ communication. Moreover, we design a trust model to avoid the bad influence of malicious vehicles. Simulation results prove that the proposed SD-TDQL framework enhances the link quality.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
