Über dieses Buch

This book investigates and reviews recent advanced techniques and important applications in vehicular communications and networking (VCN) from a novel perspective of the combination and integration of VCN and connected vehicles, which provides a significant scientific and technical support for future 5G-based VCN.

5G-Enabled Vehicular Communications and Networking introduces vehicular channel characteristics, reviews current channel modeling approaches, and then provides a new generic geometry-based stochastic modeling approach for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The investigation of vehicular channel measurements and modeling provides fundamental supports for the VCN system design. Then, this book investigates VCN-vehicle combination from PHY and MAC layers, respectively. As for the PHY layer, many advanced techniques that can be effectively applied in VCN to counter the PHY challenges are introduced, including novel ICI cancellation methods, index modulated OFDM, differential spatial modulation, and energy harvesting relaying.

As for the MAC layer, distributed and centralized MAC designs are analyzed and compared in terms of feasibility and availability. Specifically, distributed congestion control, D2D-enabled vehicular communications, and centralized data dissemination scheduling are elaborated, which can significantly improve the network performance in vehicular networks. Finally, considering VCN-vehicle integration, this book introduces several hot-topic applications in vehicular networks, including electric vehicles, distributed data storage, unmanned aerial vehicles, and security and privacy, which indicates the significance and development value of VCN-vehicle integration in future vehicular networks and our daily life.

The primary audience for this book includes professionals and researchers working in the field of vehicular communications, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and Internet of vehicles (IoV). Advanced level students studying electrical engineering will also find this book useful as a secondary textbook for related courses.

Chapter 1. Introduction to 5G-Enabled VCN
Abstract
Since Karl Benz invented motor cars more than 130 years ago, automobiles have undergone probably the most significant leap from their ancestors − the intelligent vehicles (IVs), particularly those with self-driving capability, are receiving unprecedented attention. A crucial driving force in this development is the wireless communication technology, which has matured since Marconi’s first demonstration 120 years ago [1].

Chapter 2. Vehicular Channel Characteristics and Modeling
Abstract
Nowadays, intelligent transportation systems and vehicular networks are developing rapidly with ever-increasing researches on the vehicular communication channels. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications is a key technology for future vehicular networks and applications, which enables vehicles to obtain a broad range of traffic information such as real-time road conditions, road information, pedestrian information, etc., and thus improve driving safety, reduce congestion, improve traffic efficiency, and provide in-vehicle entertainment. It is well-known that the successful design of any wireless communication system requires a proper description of the propagation environment and a corresponding realistic yet easy-to-use channel model. Hence, in this chapter, we will first review recent advances in vehicular channel measurements and modeling, and then provide a new generic wideband geometry-based stochastic modeling. In addition, by taking the new features due to 5G into consideration, the challenges and open issues for 5G vehicular channel measurements and modeling are discussed.

Chapter 3. Wireless-Vehicle Combination: Advanced PHY Techniques in VCN
Abstract
Along with the fast development of both the automobile industry and mobile communication systems, the combination of vehicles and wireless communications has been a burgeoning trend and is of essential significance in safety and mobility applications in vehicular networks. However, as described in Chap. 2, compared with traditional (quasi-)static communications, wireless channels in vehicular communications are more complex with large Doppler and evident non-stationarity, which makes 5G-enabled vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications face rigorous challenges. Hence, in this chapter, in order to combat the severe channel conditions and achieve high data rate, we first explore some advanced PHY techniques for VCN system design, which can effectively exploit the benefits of OFDM and MIMO in high mobility vehicular networks. Then, shifting from combating channel to exploiting channel, we also discuss the potential PHY directions for the next leap.

Chapter 4. Wireless-Vehicle Combination: Effective MAC Designs in VCN
Abstract
In vehicular networks, road safety and data-related applications require reliable and efficient communications with minimized transmission collisions, and thus effective medium access control (MAC) protocols are also essential for the VCN system design. However, in vehicular networks, the MAC design is much more challenging due to the high mobility, heterogeneous and frequently changing topology, and versatile QoS requirements. Hence, also following the wireless-vehicle combination perspective, in this chapter, we focus on the effective and efficient MAC designs for VCN. First, by taking the trend (from distributed to centralized) and challenges of the MAC design in VCN into consideration, three essential MAC issues and their corresponding solutions are explored, including distributed congestion control, centralized resource sharing and scheduling, and centralized data dissemination scheduling. Then, regarding the next leap for MAC designs in VCN, NOMA-V2X and data-driven resource management are also discussed.

Chapter 5. Wireless-Vehicle Integration: VCN-Based Applications
Abstract
While the wireless-vehicle combination intends to increase the efficiency of link-level and network-level data transmissions to fulfill the communication requirements in vehicular applications, the wireless-vehicle integration focuses on exploring the core functions of vehicles that are evolving more and more towards being highly intelligent and electrified. Surrounding the core vehicle functions, in this chapter, the requirements on the supporting wireless infrastructure and how to achieve these requirements will be discussed from the wireless-vehicle integration perspective. Specifically, we will focus on some interesting VCN-based vehicular applications including electric vehicles, distributed data storage, and physical layer security. As for the next leap, VCN-based autonomous driving is also discussed.
