Sensing is an effective means to connect the physical world and digital space. Exploring the intelligent sensing capability has drawn researcher’s great attention. It is quite exciting to see in recent years, besides wearable sensing, people have also begun to explore the acoustic, wireless signal, light, and other ambient communication medium’s capability for sensing purpose. In this talk, I will introduce some of our work related to how to leverage the wearables and the communication medium’s sensing capability to enable human-centric applications.

The report first introduces the concept, requirements, and challenges of the Internet of Vehicles, and then elaborates on the key technologies, standard evolution, and comparative advantages of C-V2X (Cellular Internet of Vehicles) compared to DRSC (IEEE802.11p). The report analyzed the problems with bicycle intelligence and pointed out that C-V2X has achieved a transition from bicycle intelligence to networked intelligence, empowering intelligent transportation and intelligent driving. Looking ahead to the transformation that C-V2X empowers intelligent transportation and driving, brings to the automotive and transportation industries, as well as new research directions in vehicle networking theory and technology. Finally, it is proposed that China will develop intelligent connected vehicles and intelligent transportation that lead developed countries. The entire page will be saved as images, and the vehicle road cloud collaboration model of “smart cars, smart roads, and collaborative clouds” in the field of vehicle networking will be adopted.
