Predictive Resource Allocation for Automotive Applications Using Interference Calculus
Abstract
In autonomous driving, several safety-related connected applications will coexist with infotainment services for passenger entertainment. Serving the resulting set of diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements poses a tremendous challenge for future cellular networks. For example, safety-related applications require low latency, while infotainment services are associated with high throughput demands. To address the coexistence challenge, we propose a multi-cell anticipatory networking framework with interference coordination based on channel distribution information. The iterative approach first optimizes packet transmission times by so-called statistical look-ahead scheduling leveraging service properties. Interference calculus is applied for estimating the network's load in each step. Finally, packets are forwarded to an online scheduler based on the found transmission schedule. Simulations show that inter-cell interference management is crucial in provisioning the desired QoS. The iterative optimization framework offers superior transmission reliability and spectral efficiency.
