Application-centric Network Management - Addressing Safety and Real-time in V2X Applications

연구 분야: Verification

The current roadmaps and surveys for future wireless networking typically focus on communication and networking technologies and use representative applications to derive future network requirements. Such a benchmarking approach, however, does not cover the application integration challenge that arises from the many distributed applications sharing a network infrastructure, each with their individual topology and data structure. The paper addresses V2X networks as an important example. Crucial end-to-end application constraints including real-time and safety encourage a closer look at application interference and systematic integration. This perspective paper proposes a two-layer resource management that divides the problem into an application integration and a network management task. Valet parking with high-resolution infrastructure camera support is elaborated as a use case that overarches vehicle network and wireless network management. Experiments demonstrate the benefits of complementing the current network-centric management by an application-centric integration.
