5G-ENABLED VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING IBD

Sinopsis

This book investigates and reviews recent advanced techniques andáimportant applications in vehicular communications and networking (VCN)áfrom a novel perspective of the combination and integration of VCNáand connected vehicles, which provides a significant scientific and technicalásupport for future 5G-based VCN.5G-Enabled Vehicular Communications and Networking introduces vehicular channel characteristics, reviewsácurrent channel modeling approaches, and then provides a new genericágeometry-based stochastic modeling approach for vehicle-to-everythingá(V2X) communications. The investigation of vehicular channelámeasurements and modeling provides fundamental supports for theáVCN system design. Then, this book investigates VCN-vehicle combinationáfrom PHY and MAC layers, respectively. As for the PHY layer, manyáadvanced techniques that can be effectively applied in VCN to counter theáPHY challenges are introduced, including novel ICI cancellation methods,áindex modulated OFDM, differential spatial modulation, and energyáharvesting relaying.áAs for the MAC layer, distributed and centralized MACádesigns are analyzed and compared in terms of feasibility and availability. Specifically, distributed congestion control, D2D-enabled vehicularácommunications, and centralized data dissemination scheduling areáelaborated, which can significantly improve the network performance inávehicular networks. Finally, considering VCN-vehicle integration, this bookáintroduces several hot-topic applications in vehicular networks, includingáelectric vehicles, distributed data storage, unmanned aerial vehicles, andásecurity and privacy, which indicates the significance and developmentávalue of VCN-vehicle integration in future vehicular networks and our dailyálife.áThe primary audience for this book includes professionals and researchersáworking in the field of vehicular communications, intelligent transportation systemsá(ITS), and Internet of vehicles (IoV). Advanced level students studying electricaláengineering will also find this book useful as a secondary textbook for relatedácourses.á
