This article investigates the performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) integrated with automatic repeat request (ARQ) for point-to-point Internet of Things (IoT) wireless backhaul links. The proposed framework is generalized accommodate an arbitrary number of users, incorporates round–robin (RR) scheduling, and use iterative interference cancellation (IIC) with chase combining (CC) to enhance fair power allocation while reducing the packet drop rate (PDR). The results reveal that NOMA-ARQ with IIC significantly outperforms conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) in various scenarios. The signal-to-noise (SNR) gain in PDR performance is particularly evident in moderate to high SNR conditions, ranging from 13 to 35 dB, and for scenarios involving three users with multiple transmission attempts. The proposed approach demonstrates up to a threefold increase in system throughput compared to OMA, highlighting its potential for enhancing backhaul performance in dense IoT deployments. These findings highlight the potential of IIC-assisted ARQ-NOMA to address the requirements for spectrum efficiency and data reliability effectively.

Experiments on dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) for electric vehicles (EVs) typically require vast testing grounds and significant costs, making them difficult to implement. As a solution, experimental systems utilizing rotational motion for DWPT have been proposed. However, few such systems have been developed and their design methods and fundamental characteristics remain unclear. This paper presents the construction of a rotation-type experimental system for DWPT and discusses its design methodology and basic characteristics. In developing the prototype, mechanical stability was verified through simulations analyzing stress and critical rotational speed of the rotating components. A sector-shaped transmitter coil, suitable for this system, was designed and analyzed using electromagnetic field simulations, confirming similar characteristics to conventional linear-rail-based systems. Furthermore, the effects of misalignment between transmitter and receiver coils and the electrical characteristics of slip rings and brushes were evaluated. Finally, power transfer characteristics were validated through experiments at a linear velocity equivalent of 40 km/h and 3.3 kW power transfer.

With the rapid advancement of autonomous driving technologies, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) networks are recognized as pivotal in enhancing the efficiency and safety of intelligent transportation systems. However, the highly dynamic and mobile nature of V2X environments poses considerable challenges for task offloading, particularly in achieving low delay, high energy efficiency and task success rate maximization. To address these issues, this study introduces the Dynamic Task Offloading Framework (DTOF) and the Hybrid Integrated Offloading Algorithm (HIOA). The DTOF incorporates dynamic task segmentation with cross-layer resource allocation, thereby improving adaptability under high mobility conditions, with vehicle speeds ranging from 20 to 120 km/h. The HIOA integrates deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with game-theoretic methods to achieve near-optimal multi-objective optimization, encompassing delay minimization and energy efficiency improvement across vehicle densities of 30 to 80 vehicles/km$^{2}$. Specifically designed to satisfy the delay requirement for Level 4 and beyond autonomous driving, the HIOA ensures both low delay and energy efficiency. Hybrid simulations combining SUMO traffic modeling and a 5 G New Radio (NR) channel model demonstrate that the HIOA achieves superior performance compared to existing approaches. Under typical operating conditions, it reduces service access delay by 25%,lowers energy consumption by 18% and elevates task success rate by 30%. Moreover, the HIOA maintains robust performance under peak traffic scenarios (80 vehicles/km$^{2}$) and amid infrastructure impairments (30% RSU failure rate). This work substantially augments the efficiency and adaptability of V2X, establishing a solid groundwork for further development of autonomous driving technologies. Future research will investigate federated learning for cross-domain collaboration and refine the integration of game-theoretic and DRL mechanisms to further reduce computational complexity.

Within In-Vehicle Time-Sensitive Networking (IVTSN), periodic Time-Triggered (TT) and sporadic Event-Triggered (ET) data streams coexist in a shared communication infrastructure. TT streams require deterministic transmission, whereas ET streams frequently carry critical data that demands low-latency delivery. Conventional Time-Aware Shaper (TAS) mechanisms, while effective in maintaining determinism for TT traffic, are inadequate for handling the bursty and time-sensitive characteristics of ET streams, resulting in degraded real-time performance and compromised safety and reliability in IVTSN systems. To overcome these challenges, this study introduces a novel hybrid scheduling strategy based on the Time-Slot Offset Difference (TOD) between adjacent transmission links. The proposed approach integrates a global TOD-based hybrid scheduling algorithm for static time-slot allocation with a local dynamic adaptation mechanism that adjusts ET transmission at runtime. This combination ensures deterministic delivery of TT streams while significantly reducing the end-to-end delay of ET streams. Simulation results on the OMNeT++ platform demonstrate that the proposed strategy outperforms the baseline TAS and eTAS methods, effectively addressing the coexistence challenges of TT and ET streams and enhancing the overall transmission performance of IVTSN systems.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to revolutionize the energy and transportation sectors, yet widespread adoption faces challenges, notably the complexity of managing energy demand. While prior studies have modeled EV impacts in developed economies, little work has analyzed such impacts under the constraints of fossil fuel-dominated, subsidy-heavy systems like Iran. So, this paper investigates the impacts of EV integration on Iran’s energy and transportation infrastructure, advocating that EVs are instrumental in decarbonizing and grid balancing. Our focus turns to Iran’s energy landscape as a compelling case study for a fossil-fuel-rich country, due to its specific geographical aspects and unique energy sector challenges. The study extensively analyses historical peak demand data and national statistics, underscoring the urgent need for more sustainable energy management practices and the modernization of transportation systems. The analysis emphasizes the critical challenge posed by surging peak power demand in Iran while highlighting the pivotal role that EVs could play in reshaping Iran’s transportation and energy sectors. Numerical analysis reveals that managing EV energy through V1G and V2G can help alleviate the peak demands, providing a flexible alternative to traditional network upgrades. Moreover, the calculated estimates of peak power demand for unconstrained charging versus the impact of V1G and V2G can assist decision-makers in assessing future energy flexibility requirements, identifying strategies to overcome potential barriers to EV adoption, and exploring different scenarios.

Most state-of-the-art (SOTA) uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) path planning approaches depend on global environmental knowledge. While algorithms like adaptive soft actor-critic (ASAC) have improved training efficiency, their obstacle avoidance in partially observable environments remains limited. To address this, we propose a depth-based collision risk prediction (DCRP) algorithm that integrates into the ASAC framework. DCRP processes depth images alongside UAV pose and velocity to calculate a dense collision risk signal, enriching the reward function for more effective avoidance learning. Furthermore, we enhance the policy network with a novel skip connection that directly injects critical state information into the final action output. This innovation mitigates gradient vanishing and accelerates policy learning. Additionally, a generalized transfer learning (GTL) strategy accelerates convergence in complex environments by leveraging policies pre-trained in simpler ones. Extensive evaluation in high-fidelity AirSim environments demonstrates the superiority of our method. It outperforms several SOTA baselines, achieving an approximately 20% higher task success rate and 39% faster training efficiency on average, while maintaining a real-time inference time of around 15 ms.
