Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have great potential applications in military missions or emergency rescue due to their no-infrastructure, self-organizing and multi hop capability characteristics. Obviously, it is important to implement a low-cost and efficient mechanism of anti-invasion, anti-eavesdropping and anti-attack in MANETs, especially for military scenarios. The purpose of intruding or attacking a MANET is usually different from that of wired Internet networks whose security mechanism has been widely explored and implemented. For MANETs, moving target defense (MTD) is a suitable mechanism to enhance the network security, whose basic idea is to continuously and randomly change the system parameters or configuration to create inaccessibility for intruders and attackers. In this paper, a two-layer IP hopping-based MTD approach is proposed, in which device IP addresses or virtual IP addresses change or hop according to the network security status and requirements. The proposed MTD scheme based on the two-layer IP hopping has two major advantages in terms of network security. First, the device IP address of each device is not exposed to the wireless physical channel at all. Second, the two-layer IP hops with individual interval and rules to obtain enhanced security of MANET while maintaining relatively low computational load and communication cost for network control and synchronization. The proposed MTD scheme is implemented in our developed MANET terminals, providing three level of network security: anti-intrusion in normal environment, intrusion detection in offensive environment and anti-eavesdropping in a hostile environment by combining the data encryption technology.

Currently the research and development of autonomous driving vehicles (ADVs) mainly consider the situation whereby manual driving vehicles and ADVs run simultaneously on lanes. In order to acquire the information of the vehicle itself and the environment necessary for decision-making and controlling, the ADVs that are under development now are normally equipped with a lot of sensing units, for example, high precision global positioning systems, various types of radar, and video processing systems. Obviously, the current advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or ADVs still have some problems concerning high reliability of driving safety, as well as the vehicle’s cost and price. It is certain, however, that in the future there will be some roads, areas or cities where all the vehicles are ADVs, i.e., without any human driving vehicles in traffic. For such scenarios, the methods of environment sensing, traffic instruction indicating, and vehicle controlling should be different from that of the situation mentioned above if the reliability of driving safety and the production cost expectation is to be improved significantly. With the anticipation that a more sophisticated vehicle ad hoc network (VANET) should be an essential transportation infrastructure for future ADV scenarios, the problem of vehicle turning control based on vehicle to everything (V2X) communication at road intersections is studied. The turning control at intersections mainly deals with three basic issues, i.e., target lane selection, trajectory planning and calculation, and vehicle controlling and tracking. In this paper, control strategy, model and algorithms are proposed for the three basic problems. A model predictive control (MPC) paradigm is used as the vehicle upper layer controller. Simulation is conducted on the CarSim-Simulink platform with typical intersection scenes.
