Call for Papers: IEEE Network Special Issue on ------------------------------------------------------------- ** Vehicle-to-Grid Networks ** ------------------------------------------------------------- The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth in the developments and deployments of Electric Vehicles (EVs) (including unmanned vehicles), leading to a multidisciplinary research area called Vehicle to Grid (V2G) networks which cover power grid, communication networks, and transportation systems. From the perspective of power sector, V2G networks necessitate a careful management of the energy flow for charging/discharging a tremendous number of EVs, with the objectives of guaranteeing grid stability, improving energy utilization, and reaping potential arbitrage value. Meanwhile, as indispensable bridges for managing the EVs connected to the power grid and the associated energy flows in V2G networks, designs of efficient communication networks for facilitating V2G/V2V communications are indispensable. Such designs not only cover a wide range of important directions such as network infrastructures, cross layer communication protocols, signaling systems, quality of service! , and resource managements, but also need the integration of the emerging ICT technologies such as M2M (or D2D) communications, IoT networks, software defined networks. Moreover, driven by the growing security issues in cyber spaces, securing the operations and communications of V2G networks and protecting the privacy of EV owners will be of practical and timely importance.
This special issue aims to provide a platform for sharing the recent research and development on V2G networks. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to the following: * Network Architectures and Topology Designs for V2G Networks; * Cross-Layer Communications Protocols for V2G Networks; * QoS Provisioning for V2G Networks; * Transportation Networks and V2G Networks; * IoT and M2M for V2G Networks; * Software Defined Networks for V2G Networks; * Narrow-band LTE for V2G Networks; * Security, Privacy, Integrity, and Trust for V2G Networks; * Big Data Analytics for V2G Networks; * Energy (Charging/Discharging) Managements for V2G Networks; * EV-Mobility Modeling and Managements for V2G Networks; * Autonomous Driving Vehicles for V2G Networks; * Distributed Energy and Storage Systems for V2G Networks; * Testbeds and Platforms for V2G Networks.
