The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have extensive potential applications in various fields, such as smart healthcare, smart industry, intelligent agriculture, and transportation.

Despite these promising prospects, designing productive IoT and IoV systems involves several major challenges. For example, communication networks must be fault-resistant in order to achieve reliable information distribution; data collection, processing and transmission may incur excessive delay and data loss, which would reduce the reliability of IoT and IoV; ensuring the security and privacy of users in heterogeneous IoT and IoV is not straightforward.

The newest developments including edge computing, 5G communication technologies, reinforcement learning, federated learning, and other technologies provide effective solutions to these problems.
