Connected vehicles and intelligent vehicles have been identified as key technologies for increasing road safety and transport efficiency. This book presents and discusss the recent advances in theory and practice in connected vehicle systems. It covers emerging research that aims at dealing with the challenges in designing the essential functional components of connected vehicles. Major topics include intra- and inter-vehicle communications, mobility model of fleet and ramp merging, trace and position data analysis, security and privacy.

AI and Blockchain for Wireless Communications: Creating Resilient and Secure Systems describes the merger of AI and blockchain for the smooth functioning of secure wireless communications. The book covers both sides of blockchain and AI integration - blockchain for assisting AI, such as solutions involving distributed learning and trustworthy AI, and AI solutions designed to support blockchain, such as solutions embedded in smart contracts for automation and authentication. The methods and techniques presented in the book are also supported by use cases that show the practical implementation of AI and blockchain based wireless communication systems. It is suitable for students, researchers, and industry engineers in AI, blockchain, and wireless communications, and will help AI developers grasp concepts and see the benefits of blockchain integrated with AI-particularly in wireless communications-thus setting the groundwork for their future development.Covers fundamental concepts, technical insights, and practical applications of AI and blockchain convergenceAddresses the implementation challenges of both AI and blockchain and their potential solutionsIncludes recent technological trends and use cases involving IoT, IoVs, UAVs, and non-terrestrial networksHighlights future opportunities of merging AI and blockchain

Compared with conventional communications, cooperative communication allows multiple users in a wireless network to coordinate their packet transmissions and share each other's resources, thus achieving high-performance gain and better service coverage and reliability. Energy Efficient Cooperative Wireless Communication and Networks provides a comprehensive look at energy efficiency and system design of cooperative wireless communication.Introducing effective cooperative wireless communication schemes, the book supplies the understanding and methods required to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and end-to-end protocol designs for wireless communication systems. It explains the practical benefits and limitations of cooperative transmissions along with the associated designs of upper-layer protocols, including MAC, routing, and transport protocol.The book considers power efficiency as a main objective in cooperative communication to ensure quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. It explains how to bring the performance gain at the physical layer up to the network layer and how to allocate network resources dynamically through MAC/scheduling and routing to trade off the performance benefits of given transmissions against network costs. Because the techniques detailed in each chapter can help readers achieve energy efficiency and reliability in wireless networks, they have the potential to impact a range of industry areas, including wireless communication, wireless sensor networks, and ad hoc networks.The book includes numerous examples, best practices, and models that capture key issues in real-world applications. Along with algorithms and tips for effective design, the book supplies the understanding you will need to achieve high-performing and energy efficient wireless networks with improved service coverage and reliability.
