However, the effective sharing of traffic information remains a significant challenge. To address this, AI-based systems offer potential solutions. By predicting traffic patterns on dense networks, these systems can improve traffic management, mitigate congestion, increase network safety and reliability, and improve energy efficiency. This research investigates the application of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for accurate and efficient V2X traffic prediction. We explored the impact of various hyperparameters, including loss functions and optimizers, on the performance of these models. Our findings indicate that Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models, particularly with the Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss function and Adam optimizer, consistently outperform Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) models in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency. For CNN models, the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function, coupled with the Adam optimizer, demonstrated superior performance in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and computational done, I cited them in the text 1- Abdellah et al., 2022b: Basel, Switzerland. 2-Ban et al., 2022: Suzhou, China 3-Fitters et al., 2021: Madrid, Spain 4-Tsourdinis et al., 2022: London, OK, that is great. Fifth-generation (5G) cellular systems and beyond are predicted to enhance quality of Q11 service (QoS), high throughput, improved network safety, increased capacity, low latency, and low cost. As the number of devices rises, so does the flow of information, making the network more difficult to manage and operate (Abdellah et al., 2022a;Sarker, 2022). For the 5G network, efficient and innovative methods are required to modify network protocols and manage resources for various services under multiple scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a leading technology in advanced intelligent technologies that allow intelligent and fast business process decisions, enhancing profitability and efficiency (Ahmed et al., 2023;Jiang et al., 2022).Recently, AI technology has been utilized in 5G wireless networks to optimize the physical layer architecture, network management, complex decision-making, and resource allocation. Big data techniques offer a great chance to grasp wireless network essentials and better comprehend 5G cellular network performance (Abubakar et al., 2020;Hassan et al., 2023). Machine learning (ML) provides or predicts new entries in most AI applications. ML solves problems like wireless network optimization and attack detection (Brik et al., 2022).Deep learning (DL) methods have proven robust for predicting network traffic and forecasting accuracy. DL algorithms based on neural networks (NNs) are promising solutions to improve prediction accuracy in data traffic flow. Many different types of NNs have been developed for various objectives; recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are made to process historical information or observations collected over specific periods; traffic patterns are an example of such observations (Sepasgozar and Pierre, 2022). A critical issue for traffic prediction is the accuracy of the forecasts to overcome the challenges of 5G mobile networks without further reducing the efficiency of the system's quality of service (QoS) (Abdellah et al., 2022a). Numerous techniques have been created to increase traffic, enhancing forecasting accuracy (Tsourdinis et al., 2022). Motivation for this study:• Traditional RNNs have problems connecting temporally distant events. • DL is a powerful method that can build accurate predictive models from vast amounts of unlabeled, unstructured data by instantly creating complicated statistical models based on their iterative output. • QoS optimization's computational difficulties.Due to these limitations, this work aims to predict Vehicleto-everything (V2X) network traffic. Healthcare, security, transportation, and medical emergencies require applications that efficiently use traffic resources. Predicting network traffic and bandwidth helps identify security and performance problems. Identifying the next steps in intensive remote patient monitoring requires a critical case to be reported to a healthcare organization within a certain timeframe. This situation results in varied information depending on the quantity and type of observations. DL techniques such as the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and GRU predictors can forecast traffic volumes.The main contributions to the proposed work are as follows:• Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) have been tested for the designed models. • A comparison was conducted between the proposed RNN models and traditional LSTM models (Abdellah et al., 2022a) regarding prediction accuracy. We evaluated prediction accuracy using root mean squared error (RMSE) and efficiency in terms of total Floating-point Operations Per Second (FLOPS) [MegaFLOPS (MFLOPS)].Several studies have explored the use of RNNs for traffic prediction, including LSTM and GRU networks (Zhou et al., 2020) applied LSTM networks for real-time traffic flow forecasting, achieving root mean square error (RMSE) values of approximately 1.23 for urban traffic data. In contrast, Kim et al. (2021) used GRU for highway traffic prediction and reported an RMSE of 0.85 under similar conditions. In Fitters et al. (2021), an architecture based on an LSTM network was investigated for predicting and focusing on irregular traffic flows. Abdellah et al. (2022b) used an LSTM network-based DL approach to forecast drone-based MEC energy consumption time series. Four cases examined accuracy as a function of learning rate. RMSE and MAPE were used to determine the best and highest average prediction accuracy. Wang et al. (2022a) suggested a spatiotemporal study of mobile network traffic and reviewed current research. Time series similarity-based graph attention networks were also proposed. Using an LSTM network with modified hyperparameters, a DL model predicts short-term traffic speeds on a parallel, multilane arterial road in an emerging country such as Vietnam (Tran, 2022). An LSTMbased practical method for accurately predicting environmental movement to improve security decision-making and path planning was first presented in Wang et al. (2022b). Then, a risk assessment was used to plan local paths. Based on these correct predictions, the risk assessment is field-based.In the domain of CNNs for traffic prediction (Li et al., 2021), used a hybrid CNN-LSTM model for traffic speed prediction, achieving an RMSE of approximately 0.91 for highway traffic, which is considered competitive for deep learning models in traffic prediction. Similarly, in Wu et al. (2020) applied a simple CNN model on urban traffic datasets and reported an RMSE around 0.98 with Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation. In contrast, these studies have limitations in terms of V2X communication:• LSTM models struggle to handle massive traffic flow data simultaneously with computing and distributed storage requirements. • The current traffic forecast methods have been unsuccessful in addressing complex road segment association. To address these limitations in existing models, this study focuses on an essential issue for traffic prediction: the accuracy of forecasts to address 5G mobile network issues without reducing QoS system efficiency. Therefore, we address these design issues in this work by training alternative Deep Learning Neural Network (DLNN) architectures based on V2X packets-per-second data. These predictors don't require prior knowledge about the surrounding environmental conditions (channel statistics) and benefit from the excellent learning and generalization capabilities of DNNs. The proposed DL model will be built using LSTM, BiLSTM, and GRU, which are variations of the RNN, to solve the vanishing gradient problem. For CNNs, we will test the most powerful activation functions (ReLU, Tanh, and Sigmoid) reported in similar work. The prediction accuracy regarding root mean squared Error (RMSE) and Floating-Point Operations Per Second (FLOPS) will be assessed. The best predictors will be improving QoS demands, monitoring resource management, enhancing security, and other operational issues.Driverless and autonomous vehicles are becoming more popular because they are better for businesses and emergency services. These vehicles need constant sensor data for complex, high-speed operations and improved trajectory planning for these services. The car can use onboard sensor information for short-term trajectory decisions, but needs data from nearby vehicles for long-term decisions. Therefore, sensor data sharing is essential and requires reliable vehicle connectivity, subject to strict QoS requirements (Gao, 2022). Thus, modern wireless networks connect cars, people, infrastructure, roads, etc., via advanced communication technologies. Advanced communication technologies enable vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.V2X communication protocols and technologies allow vehicles to interact with roadways and users. V2X allows Vehicleto-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), and Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C) interactions. Figure 1 depicts the 5G V2X communication infrastructure. v2x communication and traffic growth cause in and intelligent traffic methods are in their Thus, traffic be examined to test a new traffic on (Gao, overcome the issues with 5G mobile networks and further of the quality of service (QoS) solutions are required to improve the of traffic prediction.
