[Mycolleagues] Mobile Networks & Applications SI - Advances and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Dear Colleagues,
(Sorry for the cross posting!)

*Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)*

*Special Issue on Advances and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks*

* *

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) using all kinds of wireless
technologies has recently received considerable attention. The goal of
this special issue is to explore the development of wireless vehicular
ad hoc network technologies about communication, networking, and
applications. A good communication protocol design can achieve highly
reliable, highly scalable, and high performance. In aspect of
networking, there are many challenges that how to offer quality of
service, build high performance routing, provide mobility management,
and create secure vehicular ad hoc networks. VANET safety applications
include safety warnings and collision avoidance. This is imperious to
improve the non-safety applications and reduce the occurrence of
collision. VANETs present a highly active field of research,
development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world,
there are many national/international projects in government, industry,
and academia devoted to VANETs, for example consortia like VSC (US),
C2CCC (Europe) and InternetITS (Japan), standardization efforts like
IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle
Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. The special issue
solicits high-quality theoretical as well as practical works on a broad
range of issues important to the communication, networking, and
applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Topics of interest
include but are not limited to following:

- Safety and non-safety applications

- Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication

- Communication protocol design

- Channel modeling

- Modulation and coding

- Power control and scalability issues

- Multi-channel organization and operation

- Security issues and countermeasures

- Privacy issues

- Network management

- Routing protocol and mobility management

- Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds
