IoT Thrust Seminar | Intelligent Wireless Transmissions for Next-Generation V2X Communications: A Session-Specific Design Approach
Future vehicular-to-everything (V2X) communication systems must support a wide range of application scenarios, each with a unique requirement for data rate, reliability, latency, and spectral/energy efficiency. The efficient and effective provision of V2X transmission services demand highly intelligent wireless communications. In this talk, we present a session-specific design approach for physical-layer wireless transmissions. Specifically, we propose to optimally config wireless transceivers for individual transmission sessions, with the consideration of the prevailing channel condition, desired service quality, as well as available system resource. To address the resulting generally non-convex optimization problems in real time, we adapt advanced deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms to develop an efficient solution for online implementation. The effectiveness and broad applicability of our session-specific design approach are illustrated through various transmission scenarios. Our learning-based implementation represents a significant step toward truly intelligent wireless transceivers for next generation V2X.
