Design advanced antenna technologies using mmWave and full duplexing (FD) based relaying with NOMA in V2X

D22 also WP2Task 22 Design advanced antenna technologies using mmWave and full duplexing FD based relaying with NOMA in V2X M20 We focus on how to combine advanced physicallayer techniques such as mmWave and full duplexing FD based relaying with NOMA to improve connectivity system throughput and transmission robustness of V2X Both mmWave and FD have been shown compatible with NOMA we will investigate how to use outdatedimperfect CSI for implementing mmWave how to use FD to reduce the transmission and receiving duration The effects of residual loopback interference will be characterised in the context of V2X relaying

Develop data-centric vehicular security using Proxy Re-encryption

D31 also WP3T31 Develop datacentric vehicular security using Proxy Reencryption M12 We develop a novel datacentric vehicular security scheme leveraging Proxy Reencryption to support encrypted queries which protects vehicle privacy and confidentiality over encrypted data This would allow the service provider to create and outsource its cached data to the third party as a proxy Secure content dissemination can thus be done by reencrypting the data to nearby vehicles

Design of reward-based scheme using blockchain for V2X comm.

D41 also WP4T41 Design of rewardbased scheme using blockchain for V2X communication M12 We consider the application of Blockchain technique outside cryptocurrency as a decentralized data structure to record message exchanges among vehicles in the form of immutable blocks stored in a distributed ledger The design of a rewardbased scheme using Hyperledger a permissioned blockchain can ensure consensus without using complex Proof of Work PoW

Develop NOMA-based radio access for both V2I and V2V scenarios

D21 also WP2Task 21 Develop NOMAbased radio access for both V2I and V2V scenarios M10 In both V2I and V2V scenarios using NOMA enables multiple users to be served in a timely and spectrally efficient way Vehicle mobility such as imperfect channel state information CSI and asynchronous implementation will be considered when designing the NOMAbased architecture We consider a more timely and robust way to superimpose multiple messages using rateless network coding which can be optimised for timely transmission by adapting the NOMA scheme to vehicle densities
