Syed Faraz Hasan is an Assistant Professor in the College of Information and Communication Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University. He was with the University of Ulster at the time of this writing. He finished his PhD in Vehicular Communications from University of Ulster in 2011. He completed his Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from NED University of Engineering and Technology in 2008. His research areas include vehicular communication networks, 802.11 WLANs, stochastic modeling, and positioning and localization techniques. He serves as a reviewer in various peer-reviewed research journals. Nazmul. H. Siddique is a lecturer in School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, University of Ulster at Magee, UK Dr. Shyam Chakraborty was a Reader at the University of Ulster, and presently he is an independent consultant in Helsinki-Esopp, Finland. He holds a First Class M.Tech. in Opto-Electronics and Optical Communications from IIT Delhi and a D.Sc. (Tech) degree in Communications Engineering from Helsinki University of Technology. Prior to joining Ulster, he has served the Planning Commission, Government of India, Helsinki University of Technology, Academy of Finland and Ericsson. He also held visiting positions at IISc Bangalore, AIT Bangkok, Aalborg University and TU-Berlin. He was awarded the Senior Academy Fellowship of Academy of Finland for the period 2000-2004. Dr. Chakraborty has published two books (one research monograph and one industrial research treaties) with Springer and Wiley, seven World patents, 29 journal articles, 43 conference papers and 7 World patents. He also served as a co-guest editor of IEEE JSAC for the special issue on wireless mesh networks (2005). His research interests are, design modelling and analysis of telecommunication protocols, IPv6 based infrastructure networks, session, mobility, security and QoS management, wireless networking including IEEE 802.11, vehicular networking, GSM/GPRS, HSPA, LTE, ROLL and 6LoWPAN, etc.

From the reviews: "It is a broad-based work addressing the network-related issues of emerging wireless networks for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and road-to-vehicle (R2V) communications based on the IEEE 802.11 family of protocols. ... the book could be useful as an academic exploration for network systems engineers who intend to study this experimental work in greater detail. Such readers might use the authors' findings to develop their own verifiable models to gain a deeper understanding of mathematical modeling of wireless networks, not just roadside and vehicle networks."
