Joint Optimization of Spectrum and Energy Efficiency Considering the C-V2X Security: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach
share
Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication, as a part of 5G wireless communication, has been considered one of the most significant techniques for Smart City. Vehicles platooning is an application of Smart City that improves traffic capacity and safety by C-V2X. However, different from vehicles platooning travelling on highways, C-V2X could be more easily eavesdropped and the spectrum resource could be limited when they converge at an intersection. Satisfying the secrecy rate of C-V2X, how to increase the spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) in the platooning network is a big challenge. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose a Security-Aware Approach to Enhancing SE and EE Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning, named SEED. The SEED formulates an objective optimization function considering both SE and EE, and the secrecy rate of C-V2X is treated as a critical constraint of this function. The optimization problem is transformed into the spectrum and transmission power selections of V2V and V2I links using deep Q network (DQN). The heuristic result of SE and EE is obtained by the DQN policy based on rewards. Finally, we simulate the traffic and communication environments using Python. The evaluation results demonstrate that the SEED outperforms the DQN-wopa algorithm and the baseline algorithm by 31.83 68.40 https://github.com/BandaidZ/OptimizationofSEandEEBasedonDRL.
