A paper titled "Priority Based V2V Data Offloading Scheme for FiWi based Vehicular Network using Reinforcement Learning," by Akshita Gupta, Saurabh Jaiswal, Vivek Ashok Bohara, and Anand Srivastava has been accepted for publication in Vehicular Communications, 2023

Intelligent vehicular network is one of the popular paradigms for sixth-generation (6G) networks. With the growth in vehicular traffic density, it is essential to ensure safety and security by providing ultra reliable low latency (URLL) services for vehicular communication. Moreover, along with the URLL services, it is also essential that these services are energy-efficient. These requirements can be fulfilled by the integration of optical fiber at the back-end with wireless front-end, commonly referred to as fiber-wireless (FiWi) networks. In this work, we consider a FiWi-based vehicular network that consists of a optical fiber back-end network with wireless vehicular-to-infrastructure (V2I) network at the front-end. Specifically, to ensure that high priority vehicular traffic have lower latency and energy consumption, we propose a reinforcement learning (RL) based double deep $Q$-network (DDQN) scheme that chooses the cluster-head for vehicular communication. The proposed algorithm uses energy and latency aware cluster-head selection that meets the intelligent transportation system (ITS) requirements. The proposed algorithm is compared with the non-RL-based approach such as, random and max-queue based cluster-head selection. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in terms of energy, latency, throughput, and reliability.
