Heterogeneous V2V Communications in Multi-Link and Multi-RAT Vehicular Networks
Connected and automated vehicles will enable advanced traffic safety and
efficiency applications thanks to the dynamic exchange of information between
vehicles, and between vehicles and infrastructure nodes. Connected vehicles can
utilize IEEE 802.11p for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure
(V2I) communications. However, a widespread deployment of connected vehicles
and the introduction of connected automated driving applications will notably
increase the bandwidth and scalability requirements of vehicular networks. This
paper proposes to address these challenges through the adoption of
heterogeneous V2V communications in multi-link and multi-RAT vehicular
networks. In particular, the paper proposes the first distributed (and
decentralized) context-aware heterogeneous V2V communications algorithm that is
technology and application agnostic, and that allows each vehicle to
autonomously and dynamically select its communications technology taking into
account its application requirements and the communication context conditions.
This study demonstrates the potential of heterogeneous V2V communications, and
the capability of the proposed algorithm to satisfy the vehicles' application
requirements while approaching the estimated upper bound network capacity
Cognitive radio network in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET): a survey
Cognitive radio network and vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) are recent emerging concepts in wireless networking. Cognitive radio network obtains knowledge of its operational geographical environment to manage sharing of spectrum between primary and secondary users, while VANET shares emergency safety messages among vehicles to ensure safety of users on the road. Cognitive radio network is employed in VANET to ensure the efficient use of spectrum, as well as to support VANET’s deployment. Random increase and decrease of spectrum users, unpredictable nature of VANET, high mobility, varying interference, security, packet scheduling, and priority assignment are the challenges encountered in a typical cognitive VANET environment. This paper provides survey and critical analysis on different challenges of cognitive radio VANET, with discussion on the open issues, challenges, and performance metrics for different cognitive radio VANET applications

Survey of Inter-satellite Communication for Small Satellite Systems: Physical Layer to Network Layer View
Small satellite systems enable whole new class of missions for navigation,
communications, remote sensing and scientific research for both civilian and
military purposes. As individual spacecraft are limited by the size, mass and
power constraints, mass-produced small satellites in large constellations or
clusters could be useful in many science missions such as gravity mapping,
tracking of forest fires, finding water resources, etc. Constellation of
satellites provide improved spatial and temporal resolution of the target.
Small satellite constellations contribute innovative applications by replacing
a single asset with several very capable spacecraft which opens the door to new
applications. With increasing levels of autonomy, there will be a need for
remote communication networks to enable communication between spacecraft. These
space based networks will need to configure and maintain dynamic routes, manage
intermediate nodes, and reconfigure themselves to achieve mission objectives.
Hence, inter-satellite communication is a key aspect when satellites fly in
formation. In this paper, we present the various researches being conducted in
the small satellite community for implementing inter-satellite communications
based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model. This paper also reviews
the various design parameters applicable to the first three layers of the OSI
model, i.e., physical, data link and network layer. Based on the survey, we
also present a comprehensive list of design parameters useful for achieving
inter-satellite communications for multiple small satellite missions. Specific
topics include proposed solutions for some of the challenges faced by small
satellite systems, enabling operations using a network of small satellites, and
some examples of small satellite missions involving formation flying aspects.Comment: 51 pages, 21 Figures, 11 Tables, accepted in IEEE Communications
