The dissemination of false messages in Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has a negative impact on road safety and traffic efficiency. Therefore, it is critical to quickly detect fake news considering news timeliness in IoV. We propose a network computing framework Quick Fake News Detection (QcFND) in this paper, which exploits the technologies from Software-Defined Networking (SDN), edge computing, blockchain, and Bayesian networks. QcFND consists of two tiers: edge and vehicles. The edge is composed of Software-Defined Road Side Units (SDRSUs), which is extended from traditional Road Side Units (RSUs) and hosts virtual machines such as SDN controllers and blockchain servers. The SDN controllers help to implement the load balancing on IoV. The blockchain servers accommodate the reports submitted by vehicles and calculate the probability of the presence of a traffic event, providing time-sensitive services to the passing vehicles. Specifically, we exploit Bayesian Network to infer whether to trust the received traffic reports. We test the performance of QcFND with three platforms, i.e., Veins, Hyperledger Fabric, and Netica. Extensive simulations and experiments show that QcFND achieves good performance compared with other solutions.

AbstractThe advancement of cyber physical information has led to the pervasive use of smart vehicles while enabling various types of powerful mobile applications, which usually require high-intensity processing under strict delay constraints. Given their limited on-board computing capabilities, smart vehicles can offload these processing tasks to edge servers for execution. However, a highly dynamic topology, a complex vehicular communication environment, and edge node heterogeneity pose significant challenges in vehicular edge computing management. To address these challenges, in this chapter we investigate the characteristics of edge computing from both the application and service perspectives and introduce a hierarchical edge computing framework. Moreover, we leverage artificial intelligence technology to propose efficient task offloading and resource scheduling schemes.

By bringing the computation and storage resources close proximity to the mobile network edge, mobile edge computing (MEC) is a key enabling technology for satisfying the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) infotainment applications’ requirements, e.g., video streaming service (VSA). However, the explosive growth of mobile video traffic brings challenges for video streaming providers (VSPs). One known issue is that a huge traffic burden on the vehicular network leads to increasing VSP costs for providing VSA to mobile users (i.e., autonomous vehicles). To address this issue, an efficient resource sharing scheme between underutilized vehicular resources is a promising solution to reduce the cost of serving VSA in the vehicular network. Therefore, we propose a new VSA model based on the lower cost of obtaining data from vehicles and then minimize the VSP’s cost. By using existing data resources from nearby vehicles, our proposal can reduce the cost of providing video service to mobile users. Specifically, we formulate our problem as mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINP) in order to calculate the total payment of the VSP. In addition, we introduce an incentive mechanism to encourage users to rent its resources. Our solution represents a strategy to optimize the VSP serving cost under the quality of service (QoS) requirements. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed mechanism is possible to achieve up to 21% and 11% cost-savings in terms of the request arrival rate and vehicle speed, in comparison with other existing schemes, respectively.
