Reliability-Aware Joint Optimization for Cooperative Vehicular Communication and Computing

Cooperative Communication Aware Link Scheduling for Cognitive Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks

Throughput maximization is a key challenge for wireless applications in cognitive Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (CVANETs). As a potential solution, cooperative communications, which may increase link capacity by exploiting spatial diversity, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. However, if link scheduling is considered, this transmission mode may perform worse than direct transmission ...

Link-Layer Cooperative Communication in Vehicular Networks

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a special kind of communication networks and possess unique characteristics as compared with general mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), where vehicles communicate with each other or with stationary road side units. Hence, directly applying the existing communication protocols designed for MANETs may not be reliable and efficient in VANETs. Thus, this thesis ...

Design Approach for Cooperative Security in Vehicular Communication Systems

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a form of Mobile ad-hoc network, to provide communications among nearby vehicles and between vehicles and nearby fixed roadside equipment. The key operation in VANETs is the broadcast of messages. Its main goal is to improve safety and comfort for passengers, but it can also be used for commercial applications. In this latter case, it will be necessary to m...
