Future air-ground integrated vehicular network (AGVN) is a vital part of the expected ubiquitous communication system. The resources in AGVN are geographically separated and are often heterogeneous. Therefore, distributed management and cooperative management are key issues in a multi-tier based topology of AGVN. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) shows advantages in facilitating the management of AGVN; however, adequate, real-time, and secure information for driving AI is still a big concern. In this article, we propose a conceptual enhanced AGVN by introducing a so-called surveillance plane to promote the management in the control plane. Thus, components such as virtual network functions (VNFs) and service function chaining (SFC) can get profits. Concepts and trials of utilizing the surveillance plane and side information are presented from three different aspects, namely networking, security, and application. We also summarize research directions in designing a more flexible management scheme by coupling the service, surveillance, and control planes of the enhanced AGVN.

监视飞机辅助的空地综合车载网络：架构，应用和潜力

未来的空地综合车辆网络（AGVN）是预期的无处不在的通信系统的重要组成部分。AGVN中的资源在地理位置上是分离的，并且通常是异构的。因此，在基于AGVN的多层拓扑中，分布式管理和协作管理是关键问题。近年来，人工智能（AI）在促进AGVN的管理方面显示出优势。但是，用于驱动AI的足够，实时和安全的信息仍然是一个大问题。在本文中，我们通过引入所谓的监视平面来提升控制平面中的管理，提出了一种概念上增强的AGVN。因此，诸如虚拟网络功能（VNF）和服务功能链（SFC）之类的组件可以获取利润。从网络，安全和应用三个方面介绍了使用监视平面和辅助信息的概念和试验。我们还总结了通过结合增强型AGVN的服务，监视和控制平面来设计更灵活的管理方案的研究方向。
