CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
Vehicular Communications and Networks
Vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems aim to improve traffic safety, protect environment by
reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile
infotainment. To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain,
there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and
transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure,
vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many
research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics
and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to
appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols that should essentially be scalable in
performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density
fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using
simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research
achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from
communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished
contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
· Adoption and adaptation of web technologies
· Application protocols and service architectures
· Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation
· Domain-specific security and privacy solutions
· Inter-networking technologies and architectures
· MAC technologies and channel management
· Multiple radio integration and control
· Physical layer and RF level technologies
· Radio resource management, congestion control,
traffic control, routing, and QoS support
· Real-time experimental systems and testbeds
· RF integration and SDR technologies
· Safety and non-safety applications and services
· Simulation methodology and performance
evaluation techniques
· Delay tolerant networks
· Energy efficient communications
· Traffic and mobility models
