Abstract
Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are Not-So-Futuristic. CAVs will be
highly dynamic by intelligently exploiting multipath communication over
several radio technologies, such as high-speed WiFi and 5G and beyond
networks. Yet, the likelihood of data communication loss can be very
high and/, or packets arrive at the destination not in correct working
order due to erratic and mixed time-varying wireless links. Furthermore,
the vehicular data traffic is susceptible to loss and delay
variation,which recommends the need to investigate new multipath
TCP(MPTCP) protocols for ultra-reliable low latency communication(URLLC)
over such heterogeneous networks while reassuring CAVs’ needs. We
undertake the challenge by jointly considering network coding and
balanced linked adaptation for performing coupled congestion control
across multiple wireless paths.Consequently, the proposed low delay
MPTCP framework for connecting autonomous vehicles is efficient and
intelligent by design. We conduct a rigorous convergence analysis of the
MPTCP design framework. In summation, we provide a detailed mathematical
study and demonstrate that the latency penalty for the URLLC-MPTCP
developed over these networks becomes negligible when considering the
possible benefits that multiple network convergence could offer. Our
extensive emulation results demonstrate all these lucrative features of
URLLC-MPTCP.
