Original abstract

As vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) deployments scale, roadside units (RSUs) that consume 10-25W continuously yet serve negligible traffic during off-peak hours represent a growing source of energy waste. Sleep scheduling can exploit the pronounced diurnal variation in urban traffic, but the WAVE service restoration overhead of up to 100ms nearly exhausts the 3GPPTS~22.185 latency budget, making independent sleep decisions risky. This paper proposes a cooperative framework in which upstream RSUs share traffic detection signals with downstream neighbors via infrastructure-to-infrastructure links, enabling predictive wake-up that exploits spatial correlation between adjacent intersections. The framework is formulated as a constrained Markov decision process and decomposed into per-RSU subproblems solvable by value iteration. Four algorithms of increasing sophistication are evaluated on real hourly traffic data from four consecutive signalized intersections in Kuwait City, comprising a total of 762,050 vehicles over five days. The cooperative algorithm reduces corridor energy consumption by 59.5% relative to always-on operation while maintaining 99% latency compliance, and provides 7.7 percentage points of additional savings over independent per-RSU optimization at downstream RSUs with spatial correlation \r{ho} >= 0.97. Extrapolated to a 200-RSU urban deployment, the cooperative approach yields an estimated 5.25 tonnes of CO2 reduction per year.
