The Internet of Things (IoT) platform has played a significant role in improving road transport safety and efficiency by ubiquitously connecting intelligent vehicles through wireless communications. Such an IoT paradigm however, brings in considerable strain on limited spectrum resources due to the need of continuous communication and monitoring. Cognitive radio (CR) is a potential approach to alleviate the spectrum scarcity problem through opportunistic exploitation of the underutilized spectrum. However, highly dynamic topology and time-varying spectrum states in CR-based vehicular networks introduce quite a few challenges to be addressed. Moreover, a variety of vehicular communication modes, such as vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle, as well as data QoS requirements pose critical issues on efficient transmission scheduling. Based on this motivation, in this paper, we adopt a deep Q …
