Description

Technical Field

[0002] In modern intelligent transportation systems, vehicle communication with the outside world has become increasingly frequent and crucial. As a key pathway for information exchange between vehicles, the vehicular communication link's communication quality and security directly impact the vehicle's operational status and the safety of its occupants. However, complex road environments and diverse communication interference factors lead to significant fluctuations in communication link quality; simultaneously, the continuous upgrading of network attack methods poses a serious threat to the security of vehicular communication links.

[0003] To ensure the stability and reliability of vehicle-mounted communication, backup communication links are usually prepared. However, traditional methods for selecting backup communication links are often simple and random, without fully considering the actual situation and performance indicators of the link. This approach may result in the backup communication link itself having certain risks, failing to effectively replace the risky communication link for communication, and thus failing to adequately solve the reliability problem in network communication.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 This disclosure provides an intelligent switching method for vehicular communication links, comprising the following steps: S1: Send a probe message to the current vehicle's communication link, and obtain the first comprehensive score of the communication link based on the communication link's response to the probe message; S2: Based on the first comprehensive score, the communication links are divided into a risky communication link set and a secure communication link set; wherein, the risky communication link set contains at least one risky communication link, and the secure communication link set contains at least one secure communication link; S3: When the risky communication link set is not empty, obtain the weight set of each secure communication link, optimize the weight set, and obtain a new weight set; S4: Based on the new weight set, obtain the second comprehensive score for each secure communication link; S5: Based on the second comprehensive score, select a backup communication link from the set of secure communication links to replace the risky communication links in the set of risky communication links for communication.

[0027] This disclosure provides an intelligent switching method for vehicular communication links. It sends probe messages to the current vehicle's communication link and obtains a first comprehensive score based on the response, enabling real-time and accurate understanding of the actual operating status of the communication link. For example, it can detect key indicators such as communication link latency and packet loss rate, providing reliable data support for subsequent communication decisions and ensuring the accuracy of the assessment, thereby avoiding invalid or frequent link switching.

[0028] Based on the first comprehensive score, communication links are divided into a risky communication link set and a safe communication link set, which can quickly and clearly identify which links are risky and which links are relatively safe. When risky communication links exist, the weight set of safe communication links is optimized and a second comprehensive score is obtained. The second comprehensive score can fully consider the dynamic changes in the current communication environment, such as network congestion at different times or the degree of signal interference in different regions, providing a more scientific and reasonable basis for selecting backup communication links from the safe communication link set.

[0029] By selecting a backup communication link from the set of secure communication links to replace the risky communication links in the set of risky communication links, communication can be switched to the backup communication link in a timely manner when a risky communication link is detected, thus avoiding communication interruption due to failure or security issues of the risky communication link and ensuring the continuity of vehicle communication.

[0030] In S1, within the vehicular network environment, monitoring nodes or the Network Management System (NMS) send probe packets to the communication link at preset time intervals. The monitoring node can be a device deployed at critical network locations within the vehicle, such as a vehicle router or switch, or other network devices with corresponding functions. The Network Management System is a software platform used for centralized management and monitoring of the vehicular network. It can direct specific devices to send probe packets, typically ICMP or TCP packets, to detect the connectivity and performance status of the communication link.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 The flowchart illustrating the method for obtaining the first comprehensive score based on the probe message response is shown. "Obtaining the first comprehensive score of the communication link based on the communication link's response to the probe message" includes the following steps: S11: Based on the communication link's response to probe messages, obtain the average latency, packet loss rate, jitter, and current bandwidth of the communication link; S12: Obtain the first comprehensive score of the communication link based on average latency, packet loss rate, jitter, current bandwidth, threshold list, and weight list.

[0032] In S11, the communication link records whether it responds to the probe message and the response time. The time difference between sending the probe message and receiving the response is the round-trip time. Based on the sliding window algorithm, the average delay is calculated using the round-trip time. The formula for calculating the average delay is as follows: ;(Formula 1) In Formula 1, This is the average delay; The size of the sliding window, i.e., the nearest window used to calculate the average delay. The number of samples in each probe message; For the first Round-trip delay of the probe .

[0033] Optionally, if the round-trip delay exceeds 3 times the standard deviation, it is considered an outlier and should be removed.

[0034] Packet loss rate refers to the ratio of the number of probe packets sent to the number of probe packets lost within a preset time. The formula for calculating the packet loss rate is as follows: ;(Formula 2) In Formula 2, Packet loss rate; The number of probe packets lost within a preset time period; The number of probe messages to be sent within a preset time period, for example, 100.

[0035] Jitter refers to the variation in latency between two adjacent data packets, reflecting the stability of network latency. The formula for calculating jitter is as follows: ;(Formula 3) In Formula 3, For shaking.

[0036] By sending a series of probe messages of a specific size and interval, the current bandwidth of the communication link is estimated based on the time and number of these messages received. The current bandwidth is obtained by measuring the total number of bytes of probe messages successfully received within a specific time period and then dividing by that total time.

[0037] In S12, refer to Figure 3 The flowchart illustrating the method for obtaining the first comprehensive score based on type and application scenario, "Obtaining the first comprehensive score of the communication link based on average latency, packet loss rate, jitter, current bandwidth, threshold list, and weight list," includes the following steps: S121: Obtain the type of communication link, and based on the type of communication link, obtain the quality assessment threshold parameter of the communication link from the threshold list; S122: Obtain the application scenario of the communication link, and obtain the quality assessment weight parameters of the communication link from the weight list based on the application scenario of the communication link. S123: Based on the average latency, packet loss rate, jitter, current bandwidth, quality assessment threshold parameters, and quality assessment weight parameters of the communication link, obtain the first comprehensive score of the communication link.

[0038] In S121, the quality assessment threshold parameters include latency threshold, jitter threshold, and maximum bandwidth. Refer to the threshold list below, which shows the corresponding quality assessment threshold parameters for each type.

[0039] Threshold list Among them, 5G is the fifth generation of mobile communication technology, V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) is vehicle-to-everything communication technology, WIFI is a wireless local area network (WLAN) technology, and satellite communication is a technology that communicates with ground stations or terminal equipment through satellites in Earth orbit.

[0040] In S122, the quality assessment weight parameters include latency weight, packet loss rate weight, jitter weight, and bandwidth weight. Latency weight reflects real-time priority and is normalized using a latency threshold to ensure that low-latency communication links receive higher scores in scenarios with high real-time requirements. Packet loss rate weight serves as a reliability penalty coefficient, calculated linearly to ensure that a higher packet loss rate corresponds to lower reliability and a lower score. Jitter weight, as a stability indicator, is normalized using a jitter threshold to ensure that low-jitter links receive higher scores in scenarios with high stability requirements. Bandwidth weight reflects throughput utilization and is calculated using the maximum bandwidth ratio to ensure that higher bandwidth utilization results in a higher link score. The following weight list illustrates the quality assessment weight parameters for each application scenario.

[0041] Weight list The application scenarios include emergency communication, entertainment streaming, high-reliability transmission, and redundancy backup. Emergency communication is a communication link application scenario used when a vehicle encounters a sudden emergency, aiming to transmit information instantly and reliably to ensure the safety of occupants and facilitate rapid accident handling. Entertainment streaming is a communication link application scenario that provides entertainment content to passengers, primarily offering a rich variety of multimedia entertainment such as music, videos, and online games. High-reliability transmission refers to a communication link type used to ensure accurate and complete data transmission. This type of transmission places extremely high demands on the reliability, stability, and anti-interference capabilities of the communication link. Redundancy backup improves the reliability and availability of the in-vehicle communication system by employing multiple communication links or backup mechanisms. When the primary communication link fails or is interrupted, it can quickly switch to an emergency link to ensure communication continuity.

[0042] In S123, the formula for calculating the first comprehensive score is as follows: ;(Formula 4) In Formula 4, It received the highest overall score. This represents the current bandwidth.

[0043] By combining multiple metrics such as average latency, packet loss rate, jitter, and current bandwidth to calculate the first comprehensive score of a communication link, the performance of the link can be comprehensively measured from multiple dimensions, providing a more accurate grasp of the overall quality of the link and a more reliable basis for subsequent decision-making. Different types of communication links inherently have different physical characteristics and transmission capabilities. For example, 5G is characterized by high speed and low latency, while Wi-Fi may have better coverage and connection stability in specific environments. Setting dedicated quality assessment threshold parameters for different types of communication links allows for precise measurement of their respective performance, avoiding biases caused by using a uniform standard for evaluation, and ensuring that the evaluation results better reflect the true quality of each link. In-vehicle communication links have diverse application scenarios, and different application scenarios have significantly different requirements for communication quality. For example, emergency communication requires extremely low latency and extremely high reliability, while ordinary in-vehicle entertainment systems are relatively less sensitive to latency. By setting different quality assessment weight parameters according to the application scenario, the evaluation results can be better matched with actual business needs, ensuring the accuracy of the evaluation.

[0044] In S2, communication links with a first comprehensive score less than a preset score threshold are identified as risky communication links, and communication links with a first comprehensive score not less than a preset score threshold are identified as safe communication links. All risky communication links are combined into a risky communication link set, and all safe communication links are combined into a safe communication link set.

[0045] When the risk communication link set is empty, it means that the current vehicle's communication links are all safe and there is no need to select backup communication links to replace their work. All communication links can operate normally.

[0046] In S3, the weight set for a secure communication link includes quality assessment weight parameters. These parameters are used to calculate the first comprehensive score. In other words, the weight set includes latency weight, packet loss rate weight, jitter weight, and bandwidth weight. Depending on actual needs, other relevant parameters can be added to the weight set, such as the quality assessment threshold parameter.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 The flowchart illustrating the weight set optimization method shows that "optimizing the weight set to obtain a new weight set" includes the following steps: S31: Obtain the current vehicle's location coordinates, and determine the target vehicle that belongs to the same group as the current vehicle based on the location coordinates; S32: Based on the type of each secure communication link, obtain at least one target type; S33: In the target vehicle, obtain the first historical comprehensive score of the communication link belonging to the target type; S34: Based on the historical first comprehensive score, obtain the adjustment coefficient for each target type; S35: Determine the target type that matches the type of the secure communication link, and optimize the weight set of the secure communication link based on the adjustment coefficient of the matching target type to obtain a new weight set.

[0048] In S31, a group is a collection of vehicles defined by preset rules. These rules or conditions can take many forms, and the following are some common definitions: A group of vehicles formed to complete a specific task, such as a group of vehicles responsible for freight transport that jointly undertake a transport mission; or vehicles participating in emergency rescue operations, which also form a specific group. Groups formed based on the social relationships of car owners or drivers, such as vehicles belonging to members of a car club or vehicles belonging to employees within a company.

[0049] The system uses positioning technologies such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) or the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System to obtain the current vehicle's coordinates. A circular area with radius r is defined centered on the current vehicle. Using methods such as cellular network communication, other vehicles belonging to the same group as the current vehicle are detected within this area and designated as target vehicles.

[0050] In step S32, the types of all secure communication links are extracted and deduplicated. The type obtained after deduplication is the target type. For example, if there are three secure communication links with types 5G, 5G, and V2X, then the target type is 5G and V2X.

[0051] In S33, two schemes can be used to obtain the historical first comprehensive score of the communication link belonging to the target type in the target vehicle's onboard system. The first is an interactive feedback scheme, where the current vehicle actively sends information containing the target type to the target vehicle. Upon receiving this information, the target vehicle retrieves the historical first comprehensive score of the corresponding target type communication link in its own onboard system and feeds it back to the current vehicle, thus achieving interactive information acquisition. The second is a cloud-assisted scheme, utilizing the cloud as a hub for information collection and feedback. Each vehicle in the group uploads the historical first comprehensive scores of various communication links in its onboard system to the cloud for storage. When the current vehicle needs to obtain the historical first comprehensive score of the target vehicle's communication link belonging to the target type, it sends a request to the cloud. The cloud, based on the target type and target vehicle information in the request, filters the corresponding historical first comprehensive score from the stored data and feeds it back to the current vehicle. Both schemes have their advantages and can be flexibly selected according to the needs of the actual application scenario to ensure efficient and accurate acquisition of the required historical first comprehensive score.

[0052] In S34, the mean or standard deviation of the historical first comprehensive score of the communication link for each target type is obtained, and the adjustment coefficient for each target type is obtained based on the mean or standard deviation.

[0053] In Example 1, the adjustment coefficient is obtained based on the mean, and the formula for calculating the adjustment coefficient is as follows: ;(Formula 5) In Formula 5, For adjustment coefficients; Adjust the mean by the scaling factor (0 < <1); The average of the first comprehensive score of the target type of communication link in history; This is the baseline value for the mean.

[0054] In Example 2, the adjustment factor is obtained based on the standard deviation. The formula for calculating the adjustment factor is as follows: ;(Formula 6) In Formula 6, Adjust the standard deviation by the scaling factor (0 < <1); The standard deviation of the historical first comprehensive score for the target type of communication link; This is the baseline value for the standard deviation.

[0055] In S35, each weight in the weight set of the secure communication link is multiplied by the adjustment coefficient of the matching target type to obtain the optimized weights, and these optimized weights are combined into a new weight set.

[0056] Furthermore, the weights in the weight set can be further adjusted using the following methods: the real-time state of the network will affect... , , , and The weights have an impact; when overall network congestion is detected, i.e., network latency is consistently higher than a preset network threshold, the weights are dynamically reduced. At the same time, improve and The weight of a link is used to prioritize more stable links. If a link experiences frequent outages or sudden packet loss recently, its weight will be dynamically reduced. The weight, while increasing and The weighting of links is prioritized to select more stable links, thereby avoiding frequent link switching and impacting user services.

[0057] The aforementioned solution, by accurately locating the current vehicle's coordinates, can precisely identify target vehicles within the same group. This provides a clear scope for subsequent communication link evaluation, ensuring the relevance and validity of the data source. Simultaneously, determining the target type based on the type of secure communication link and obtaining its historical first comprehensive score makes the evaluation more targeted and professional. The adjustment coefficients derived from this fully reflect the historical performance and stability of different types of communication links. Optimizing the weight set of secure communication links based on these adjustment coefficients allows the new weight set to better align with actual communication needs, thereby improving the reliability and stability of in-vehicle communication and ensuring efficient and accurate transmission of information between vehicles.

[0058] Considering the unique geographical characteristics of different regions, and the impact of environmental factors such as weather on communication, the performance of vehicle-mounted communication links is often affected to some extent when vehicles are in different geographical locations. In such complex situations, adjusting the weight set using historical data from other vehicles in the same nearby group can effectively improve the accuracy of communication link selection. Because these vehicles are in similar geographical locations, they face similar geographical characteristics and environmental factors. By analyzing the historical performance data of their communication links, the actual performance of each secure communication link in the current environment can be more accurately grasped. For example, in mountainous areas where signals are easily blocked, some links may have poor signal strength due to terrain. By referring to the historical data of nearby vehicles, these significantly affected links can be identified in a timely manner, and corresponding adjustments can be made to the weight set. As vehicles move and the environment changes, quickly adjusting the weight set based on this historical data allows the selection of communication links to adapt to new environments in a timely manner, reducing the adverse effects of environmental factors on communication and ensuring the stable operation of the vehicle-mounted communication system in various complex environments. Furthermore, vehicles within the same group share the same model, which means that under the same geographical environment and weather conditions, these vehicles face similar communication problems and link performance. By leveraging shared historical data, it is possible to more accurately determine the performance of communication links in specific scenarios. At the same time, sharing historical data of vehicles within the same group can not only achieve effective utilization of data resources.

[0059] The method of obtaining the mean or standard deviation of the historical first comprehensive score and deriving the adjustment coefficient accordingly is highly scientific and flexible. The mean reflects the average performance of the communication link, while the standard deviation reflects its stability. By considering these two statistics, the quality of the target type of communication link can be comprehensively measured, making the adjustment coefficient more objective and accurate, further improving the effect of weight set optimization, and providing strong support for the performance improvement of vehicle communication systems.

[0060] In S4, based on Formula 4 above, the first comprehensive score of the secure communication link is recalculated based on the new weight set to obtain a new first comprehensive score, which is the second comprehensive score.

[0061] It should be noted that risky communication links do not require weight set optimization and recalculation of the first comprehensive score, while safe communication links do. This is because risky communication links may have serious problems such as hardware failures, harsh communication environments, or severe attacks. These require individual analysis and evaluation of the vehicle itself, which cannot be fundamentally solved by weight set optimization, and communication stability may be affected, necessitating emergency replacement. On the other hand, vehicles of the same model in the same group can share historical data, allowing safe communication links to leverage their performance differences with risky communication links. By optimizing the weight set, they can accurately select communication links and enhance fault warnings, thereby tapping potential at low cost and improving the overall performance of the communication system.

[0062] In S5, the secure communication links are sorted from lowest to highest according to their second comprehensive scores, resulting in a secure communication link sorting queue. Similarly, the risky communication links are sorted from highest to lowest according to their first comprehensive scores, resulting in a risky communication link sorting queue. Starting from the head of the risky communication link sorting queue, a secure communication link at the same position in the secure communication link sorting queue is selected as a backup communication link for each risky communication link. The backup communication link replaces the corresponding risky communication link for communication. For example, suppose a vehicle communication system has 5 secure communication links (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) and 2 risky communication links (R1, R2), with a preset score threshold of 50. After optimizing the weight set of secure communication links, a second comprehensive score is obtained for each secure communication link: S1 = 55, S2 = 70, S3 = 60, S4 = 52, and S5 = 80. These secure communication links are sorted from lowest to highest score to form a secure communication link sorting queue [S4, S1, S3, S2, S5]. The first comprehensive scores for each risky communication link are R1 = 40 and R2 = 30. These risky communication links are sorted from highest to lowest score to form a risky communication link sorting queue [R1, R2]. Starting from the head of the risky communication link sorting queue, a secure communication link at the same position in the secure communication link sorting queue is selected as a backup communication link for each risky communication link. That is, R1 is replaced by S4, and R2 is replaced by S1 for communication.

[0063] By replacing high-scoring risky communication links with low-scoring secure communication links, the occurrence of communication interruptions and packet loss can be effectively reduced. For example, the original risky communication link R3 might frequently experience communication failures due to signal interference, while the secure communication link S1, after optimization and evaluation, exhibits better stability; replacing it significantly improves communication stability. Ranking and matching communication links based on their first comprehensive score allows for a more rational allocation of communication resources, assigning high-performance secure communication links to more problematic risky links, fully leveraging the advantages of secure links and avoiding resource waste. Stable communication links help reduce data transmission latency and errors, thereby improving communication efficiency. In scenarios with high real-time requirements, such as vehicle communication, timely and accurate data transmission is crucial for ensuring driving safety and normal vehicle operation. This method reduces the cost of maintaining and repairing risky communication links, while avoiding unnecessary optimization of risky links by rationally utilizing secure communication links.
