Enhancing Infotainment Services in Integrated Aerial-Ground Mobility Networks

Area of Science:

• Engineering
• Computer Science
• Telecommunications

Background:

• Increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive vehicular applications strains current urban network infrastructures.
• Congestion and coverage gaps degrade user experience in urban vehicular environments.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose an aerial-assisted vehicular network architecture to enhance bandwidth and connectivity.
• To address limitations in current networks for smart mobility applications.

Main Methods:

• Integration of 6G base stations, massive MIMO, visible light communication (VLC), and a heterogeneous aerial network (high-altitude platforms and drones).
• Development of a context-aware dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for intelligent data routing.
• Simulation of the proposed architecture and algorithm.

Main Results:

• A 47% increase in average available bandwidth compared to traditional first-come-first-served schemes.
• Satisfaction of stringent latency and reliability requirements for emergency and live infotainment services.
• Demonstration of enhanced user experience, service delivery, and network efficiency.

Conclusions:

• The proposed aerial-assisted vehicular network architecture effectively enhances bandwidth and connectivity in urban areas.
• This approach enables sustainable, high-bandwidth, low-latency smart mobility for next-generation networks.
• The system provides a viable solution for future vehicular communication needs.
