Abstract: The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) enables seamless communication. However, its complex environment creates significant data security challenges. This paper proposes a novel method to predict IoV data security performance based on GF-Net. First, an IoV secure communication model is developed over N-Nakagami channels. This model analyses security performance and generates a communication dataset. The proposed GF-Net features a dual-branch structure. The upper branch uses a GLSTM network to capture spatio-temporal features. The lower branch applies a Fusion Module to improve feature robustness. Next, a Multilayer Perceptron integrates the branch outputs for accurate prediction. Experimental results show that GF-Net outperforms the WNN, GAT, and Transformer algorithms. Notably, its Mean Squared Error is 69% lower than that of the Transformer.
