Scope:

-------

This Special Issue will address voids and opportunities in heterogeneous
cooperation between vehicular, mobile and short-range networks across access
technologies. The disparity between solutions in these networks results in
systems that could operate in completely independent realms. The reality is
that connected mobile and stationary devices can benefit from
co-operation
between vehicular and personal/mobile/local networks from granular to macro
levels. Applications can encompass different areas ranging from the Internet
of Things (IoT), Device-to-Device Communication (D2D), Mobile Cloud
Computing (MCC), Infotainment, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS),
etc. Heterogeneous vehicular networking will enable seamless resource
utilization across different networks and systems to capture resource
utility.

 

The aim of this special issue is to discuss the most recent advances in the
interdisciplinary research areas encompassing heterogeneous networking
across vehicular, mobile and local networks access technologies. The special
issue will bring together researchers from diverse fields to share new
ideas, novel research contributions, field experiment results, and
standardization effort experiences in the area. This Special Issue also
welcome relevant
research surveys.

 

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 

- System Design and Architectures for Heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- Protocols for Heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- Security and Privacy for Heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- Cognitive Heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- Software Defined Networks (SDN) for heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- Applications of Heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- ITS, Smartcities, IoT, D2D, MCC with Heterogeneous Vehicular Networking 

- Testbeds, Field studies, and Modelling and Simulation of Heterogeneous
Vehicular Networking
