ABSTRACT
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications in vehicle networks often use latency, reliability, and throughput as performance metrics. However, these traditional metrics fail to indicate the freshness of data. ”Age-of-information” (AoI) has been emphasized as a critical requirement for real-time applications as a new performance metric. Traditional broadcast-based data propagation tends to cause congestion because it needs a lot of vehicles to participate in the data transmission, resulting in large AoI. With the help of mobile edge computing, this paper proposes a new unicast-based data propagation approach to reduce AoI. In this scenario, an edge computing server computes and determines vehicle nodes for the purpose of propagating time-sensitive data via V2V communication. The goal of this research is to provide an AoI-aware unicast data propagation method that optimizes the initial vehicle nodes selection and design scheduling rules for maintaining information fresh under a coverage rate restriction (corresponding to emergency level). Simulation results show that the proposed unicast-based method has lower AAoI and PAoI than that of the traditional broadcast-based method.
