Use cases
  • Stable network topology prediction in Internet of Vehicles (IoV) at the Edge cloud

  • QoS-based multi-channel support for different types of services

  • Real-time Computation for Autonomous and Self-driving cars

The topology prediction performed at the edge cloud will provide real-time network topology as well as a stable routing path in IoV.
Business use case
  • Edge cloud deployable at RSUs to support applications such as ML-based location prediction, topology stabilization

Business cost - Initial build

Minimal

Business cost (initial build cost target objective)The minimal

configuration is three servers in total:

  • Master/Database node (
1st
  • 1st server)
  • Edge node 1 (
2nd
  • 2nd server)
  • Edge node 2 (3rd server)
Scale & Type3 (x86 server)The physical machines are used for different purposes such as Master, Edge and Database nodes. 1st server will be used as a Master and Database node. The remaining two physical servers will be used as two different edge nodes for computing.Nodes (virtual)
  • 1 master node
  • 1 database node
  • 2 edge nodes
Our system has three basic nodes. Master node being the one to manage the other nodes helps out in scaling up the number of edge nodes and applications on them. Edge nodes have the prediction models which provide the network topology in IoV. Database node contains the information of each edge node accessible to the Master node via which Master node can also view the overall network topology in IoV for different purposes.ApplicationsApplications for autonomous vehicles such as topology and location prediction on edge clouds.These applications (being latency sensitive) can be extended to any type of business use-cases.
Price factor depends on the cost of RSU quality, and should be only considered for physical deployment. i.e. wireless or wired.
Business cost - Operational

Virtual environment does not require cost.


Operational need

Using the frontend GUI to:

  • Orchestrate virtual resources
Manage the edge applications

Workload typeAdditional detailsSummary/ Overview

Due to recent advancement in networks, IoV has a major role to play and is critical to performance. To this end, we introduce machine learning mechanisms integrated at the edge cloud as a proposal. As it is a known fact that the vehicles at the edge are directly connected to the Radio Station Units/Base Stations (RSU/BS) and placing such application/software packages at the edge can significantly enhance the performance in the IoV domain.

QoS-based multi-channel ScenarioImage Removed

Further, the extended version of Kalman Filter is proposed to predict the network topological locations. The inference engine used for predicting the vehicular locations and further forming them into predicted topology proves to provide a stable path for the vehicles to communicate on the provided flow-based channels. Overall, the solution and architecture are flexible in nature which further allow the support of multiple use cases in 5G.
