Introduction Nowadays, various networked services are provided by leveraging edge computing infrastructure. Either a closest or a lightest edge computing server (simply called an edge server) can be selected to serve a request service. In this trend, Computing-Aware Traffic Steering (CATS) is standardized to provide the steering of packets of a traffic flow for a specific service request toward the corresponding service instance at an edge server at a service site [I-D.ietf-cats-usecases-requirements][I-D.ietf-cats-framework]. This document proposes two use cases for Computing-Aware Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). They are (i) Context-Aware Navigation Protocol for Terrestrial Vehicles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) [CNP-Vehicle] [CNP-UAV], (ii) Edge-Assisted Cluster-Based MAC Protocol for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) [ECMAC], (iii) Self- Jeong & Mugabarigira Expires 8 May 2025 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Computing-Aware ITS Applicability November 2024 Adaptive Interactive Navigation Tool (SAINT) for Cloud-Based Navigation Services [SAINT], and (iv) Cloud-Based Drone Navigation (CBDN) for Efficient Drone Battery Charging [CBDN]. 2. Terminology This document uses the terminology described in [I-D.ietf-cats-usecases-requirements] and [I-D.ietf-cats-framework]. In addition, the following terms are defined below: * Context-Aware Navigation Protocol (CNP): It is an application protocol that enables either terrestrial vehicles (i.e., ground vehicles) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to move in road networks or fly in the sky to maneuver safely without collisions, respectively [CNP-Vehicle][CNP-UAV]. * Edge-Assisted Cluster-Based MAC Protocol (ECMAC): It is a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol that enables Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) to communicate with each other using Software- Defined Vehicular Networks with edge computing servers [ECMAC]. * Self-Adaptive Interactive Navigation Tool (SAINT): It is an application protocol that guides terrestrial vehicles to navigate efficiently towards their destination through the interaction between the vehicles and the vehicular cloud for navigation services [SAINT]. * Cloud-Based Drone Navigation (CBDN): It is an application protocol for efficient drone battery charging in drone networks by finding globally coordinated drone routes that minimize the total traffic delay in a drone network while reducing the overall Quick Battery- Charging Machine (QCM) congestion level [CBDN]. 3. Use Cases for Computing-Aware Intelligent Transportation Systems This section explains a vehicular network architecture for vehicles and three use cases for for Computing-Aware ITS. 3.1. Vehicular Network Architecture Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) include terrestrial vehicles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The standardization and implementation of SDVs are performed by AUTOSAR [AUTOSAR], Eclipes SDV [Eclipse-SDV], and COVESA [COVESA]. These SDVs need to communicate with each other to avoid collisions or accidents. Jeong & Mugabarigira Expires 8 May 2025 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Computing-Aware ITS Applicability November 2024 Figure 1 shows a Vehicular Network Architecture for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) such as terrestrial vehicles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). This vehicular network architecture is based on the vehicular network architecture for IPv6 Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (IPWAVE) in [RFC9365].

Context-Aware Navigation Protocol A connected network of automated vehicles on roads can increase the driving safety of driverless vehicles (i.e., autonomous vehicles). The critical level of dangerous situations on the road while driving can be increased by the speed, orientation, and traffic density of the vehicles involved. Therefore, there is a need for a maneuvering mechanism that handles both the current driving vehicle and the oncoming vehicles headed toward an emergency zone (e.g., road hazard and road accident spot).

Firstly, CNP includes a collision avoidance module that builds on both vehicular networks and on-board sensors to track vehicles' behaviors, and this module analyzes the driving risks to determine the necessary maneuvers in dangerous situations. Secondly, CNP establishes a Jeong & Mugabarigira Expires 8 May 2025 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Computing-Aware ITS Applicability November 2024 collision mitigation strategy that limits the severity of collision damages in hazardous road during non-maneuverable scenarios. Through a theoretical analysis as well as extensive simulations, the effectiveness of CNP is shown in terms of the reduction of both communication overhead and the risk of road collisions. To use CNP, vehicles need to report their mobility information (e.g., vehicle identifier, destination, current position, direction, and speed) to a central cloud or an edge cloud for a CNP-based vehicle collision avoidance service as shown in Figure 2. Service instances at either the edge cloud or the central cloud need to work for the vehicles. The packets with the mobility information per vehicle need to steered to an appropriate service instance for CNP. The service instance needs to provide a appropriate maneuver direction to each vehicle moving on the roadway. Since the vehicle is moving along the roadway, to serve the vehicle for collision avoidance, a new service instance needs to be selected for it, considering the network delay between the vehicle and service instance and also computing resources for the service instance. For the service instances to continue to compute the maneuvers smoothly, they need to exchange the mobility information as context while the vehicles are moving and change their service instance over time. That is, the context migration should be supported in the CATS infrastructure having the central clouds and the edge clouds to foster service instances. 3.3. Edge-Assisted Cluster-Based MAC Protocol Vehicular networks have emerged as a promising means to mitigate safety hazards in modern transportation systems. On highways, emergency situations associated with vehicles necessitate a reliable Media Access Control (MAC) protocol that can provide timely warnings of possible vehicle collisions. An Edge-Assisted Cluster-Based MAC Protocol (ECMAC) is a vehicular MAC protocol for reliable and fast packet dissemination in software- defined vehicular networks [ECMAC]. To reduce the control messaging overhead for clustering, ECMAC separates the cluster control plane (i.e., managing cluster formation) from the data plane (i.e., actual data transmission and forwarding) by using a software-defined network controller in a cellular network edge server as illustrated in Figure 3. For transmitting packets effectively and efficiently, ECMAC tries to channel interference minimization among adjacent clusters by using a joint optimization of channel assignment and a time slot scheduling. The joint optimization consists of two phases such as the channel Jeong & Mugabarigira Expires 8 May 2025 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Computing-Aware ITS Applicability November 2024 assignment phase and the time slot allocation phase. In the first phase for the channel assignment, ECMAC allocates different wireless channels to the adjacent channels by minimizing the total inter- cluster interference by reusing the available channels. In the second phase for the time slot allocation, ECMAC uses a time-division multiple access (TDMA) schedule algorithm to guarantee a high reliability and a low latency. The TDMA schedule in ECMAC is determined by a joint optimization process in the cellular edge, which is formulated as a binary integer linear programming problem and solved by a heuristic approach based on the divide-and-conquer paradigm. This joint optimization process minimizes the signal interference by jointly considering channel assignment and time slot allocation, thereby ensuring reliable communication. Through extensive simulations, the effectiveness of ECMAC is demonstrated a higher delivery ratio of emergency packets than the legacy data delivery approaches.

In the same way with CNP, service instances need to efficiently perform the context migration (e.g., mobility information and cluster membership) of vehicles so that they can continue to form clusters of vehicles, allocate wireless channels to the vehicles, and assign time slots to the vehicles over time. Jeong & Mugabarigira Expires 8 May 2025 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Computing-Aware ITS Applicability November 2024 3.4. Self-Adaptive Interactive Navigation Tool for Cloud-Based Navigation Efficient navigation services are important in Intelligent Transportation Systems because they allow vehicles to move towards destinations quickly. For this efficient navigation, vehicles need to interact with a central cloud or an edge cloud in real time. Self-Adaptive Interactive Navigation Tool (SAINT) is a cloud-based navigation guidance system for vehicular traffic optimization in road networks [SAINT]. The legacy navigation systems guide vehicles to take their navigation paths with real-time traffic statistics in road maps without considering the navigation paths of other vehicles. This uncoordinated navigation planning may incur traffic congestion in certain areas in the road networks.

SAINT guides each vehicle to have a certain-level detour in order to make the whole road network have spread vehicular traffic and lessen possible traffic congestion in certain road segments or intersections. For this cooperative navigation in SAINT, while vehicles are moving along the roadways, they need to send their periodic navigation queries and their mobility information to appropriate service instances in a central cloud or an edge cloud in the CATS infrastructure. The service instances need to process their navigation queries and reply to them with good navigation paths, considersing the road-wide traffic optimization as depicted in Figure 4. Due to the movement of the vehicles, the switching from a service instance to another service instance should be performed efficiently, considering the network delay between the service instance and each vehicle and the computing resources of the service instance. SAINT can support the efficient delivery of emergency vehicles such as ambulance and fire engine to a road accident spot by the management of a congestion contribution matrix in a target road network [SAINTplus]. It can not only guide vehicles within the accident spot, but also can detour vehicles approaching the accident spot. This version of SAINT is called SAINT+. 3.5. Cloud-Based Drone Navigation (CBDN) for Efficient Battery Charging in Drone Networks The growing popularity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) comes with a need to charge their battery at Quick Battery-Charging Machines (QCMs) due to their limited battery capacity. Without drone coordination, a drone's choice for its QCM may lead to congestion resulting from multiple drones selecting the same QCM, thus increasing the drones' battery-charging delay due to the queueing day at the QCM. This battery-charging delay leads to a long travel delay for each drone at the QCM. A Cloud-Based Drone Navigation (CBDN) efficiently determines drone routes to minimize the overall QCM congestion level for all QCMs in a target drone network [CBDN]. It finds globally coordinated drone routes that minimize the total travel delay in a drone network by reducing the overall QCM congestion level.

Drones interact with the edge server to compute navigation paths regarding the drone network-wide traffic Jeong & Mugabarigira Expires 8 May 2025 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Computing-Aware ITS Applicability November 2024 optimization of all drones in the drone network. To decrease battery consumption, the drones only once report their mobility information (i.e., current position, destination, direction, and speed) to the edge computing decice to acquire their navigation paths. Upon the commencement of the drone service, each drone reports its mobility information to the edge server. A drone's QCM reservation for battery charging acquires the most efficient shortest path regarding the drone-network-wide traffic optimization of all the drones in the drone network. For this drone-network-wide traffic optimization, a drone sends its mobility information to the edge server before its departure, and the edge server computes an optimal navigation path to the drone and notifies the drone of the path in run time. 4.
