C-V2X Communications for the Support of a Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory (GLOSA) Use Case, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2021, nr 2

Rapid expansion of 5G affects a number of sectors, including vehicular communications relying on cooperative intelligent transportation systems (C-ITS). More specifically, in the context of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), a particular emphasis is placed on modern cellular V2X (C-V2X) technologies aiming to further improve road safety. This work originates from the detailed scope of the ongoing 5G-DRIVE research project promoting cooperation between the EU and China, with the aim of demonstrating IoV services that rely on vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. With the C-V2X approach serving as a point of departure, we analyze and describe a specific green light-optimized speed advisory (GLOSA) use case, for which we provide a detailed descriptive framework, a proposed architectural framework for trials, as well as specific KPIs for the joint assessment of trials between the EU and China. We also discuss the context for performance test procedures to be conducted as part of the intended trials. GLOSA provides end-users with short-term information on upcoming traffic light status to optimize traffic flows, help prevent speed limit violations, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce pollutio

The Impact of IPv6 on Video-to-Video and Mobile Video Communications

Part 5: First Intelligent Innovative Ways for Video-to-Video Communication in Modern Smart Cities Workshop (IIVC 2012)International audienceNew technologies, viewing paradigms and content distribution approaches are about to take the TV/video services industry by storm. Five emerging trends are observable, among which is the worldwide deployment of IP Version 6 (IPv6), that are all related to the next-generation delivery of entertainment-quality video and can be capitalized upon by progressive service providers, telcos, cable operators, and ISPs. This work aims at exploring the IPv6-based evolving trends and offering practical suggestions of how it could support effective growth of video-to-video and mobile video communications. It also addresses an overview of IPv6; the rapid expansion of video-based solutions in the ICT market sector; IPv6 advantages for enhanced video communications as well as QoS issues from the use of IPv6 and IPv6 multicast approaches

Advancing the Security of Trustworthy Self-IoT (Position Paper)

The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses many aspects of our daily life, from connected homes and cities through connected vehicles and roads to devices that collaborate independently to achieve a specific purpose. Being an example of a largescale self-organizing systems, the IoT should present imperative properties such as autonomy and trustworthiness. However, compared to classical self-organizing systems, IoT has intrinsic characteristics (wide deployment, resource constraints, uncertain environment, etc.) that open up several security challenges. These challenges cannot be solved by existing Autonomic and Organic Computing techniques and therefore new techniques adapted to self-organizing IoT, (that we call Self-IoT) peculiarities are needed. To this end, this paper studies related work in the area of self-organizing IoT, identifies and describes the key research challenges for trustworthy secure Self-IoT and proposes new and tailored existing solutions

Challenges of the internet of things ::IPv6 and network management

Nowadays, many researchers are interested in the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is evolving our knowledge and conception of the world. IoT aims to offer a common communication paradigm for all objects via the Internet and its protocols. For that reasons, it is being applied in all areas of life, such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, military, cities management, and industry. One of the major challenges of the IoT is to integrate IPv6, and its related protocols, into the constrained capabilities offered by Wireless Sensor Networks, building automation, and home appliances. One of the design considerations, for the success of the IoT, is to integrate what exists from IPv6, before creating novel protocols, in order to promote and ensure the interoperability, homogeneity, openness, security, flexibility, and heritage of all existing hardware, tools, and applications of IPv6. This work presents how to integrate the management protocols in IPv6 into the emerging IoT networks based on protocols such as 6LoWPAN. An overview of the different management protocols for IPv6 is presented. Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and the considerations for IoT management from works such as Lightweight Network Management Protocol (LNMP), and the Constrained networks and devices Management (COMAN) Group from the IETF are discussed. COMAN is presenting solutions such as simplified MIB, new SNMP consideration, and CoAP-based management

Internet of Things in the 5G Era: Enablers, Architecture and Business Models

The IoT paradigm holds the promise to revolutionize the way we live and work by means of a wealth of new services, based on seamless interactions between a large amount of heterogeneous devices. After decades of conceptual inception of the IoT, in recent years a large variety of communication technologies has gradually emerged, reflecting a large diversity of application domains and of communication requirements. Such heterogeneity and fragmentation of the connectivity landscape is currently hampering the full realization of the IoT vision, by posing several complex integration challenges. In this context, the advent of 5G cellular systems, with the availability of a connectivity technology which is at once truly ubiquitous, reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient, is considered as a potentially key driver for the yet-to emerge global IoT. In the present paper, we analyze in detail the potential of 5G technologies for the IoT, by considering both the technological and standardization aspects. We review the present-day IoT connectivity landscape, as well as the main 5G enablers for the IoT. Last but not least, we illustrate the massive business shifts that a tight link between IoT and 5G may cause in the operator and vendors ecosystem

Testbeds for the Implementation of 5G in the European Union: The Innovative Case of the 5G-DRIVE Project

Part 1: 4th Workshop on “5G – Putting Intelligence to the Network Edge” (5G-PINE 2019)International audienceAn essential part of the actual EU policy towards promoting and validating 5G applications and of related solutions is via the establishment of an explicit plan and of a detailed roadmap for trials, tests and experimental activities though dedicated testbeds, in parallel with the current research and development activities coming from the 5G-PPP framework. The present paper discusses the fundamental role of the proposed trials’ initiatives within the broader European framework for the establishment and the promotion of 5G and also analyses the corresponding streams as indispensable parts of the 5G-PPP context, aiming to support innovation and growth. In addition, as part of the broader initiative for trial actions we identify the case of the 5G-DRIVE project that aims to realise 5G deployment scenarios (i.e., enhanced Mobile Broadband and Vehicle-to-Everything communications), between the EU and China, by discussing the fundamental features of the respective trials sites
