Communications Protocol Design for 5G Vehicular Networks
The automotive industry is a challenging domain for the integration and evolution
of heterogeneous Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Indeed, in
order to provide drivers with a more pleasant and safer driving experience, vehicles
are gradually endowed with sensing, actuation, computing, user-interaction and
communications capabilities. Boosted by marketing and commercial competition,
vehicles are thus becoming intelligent nodes capable of interconnecting, cooperating
and even autonomously adapting to the surrounding environment. Since drivers
usually spend a non-negligible fraction of time in vehicles and their behaviour may
have a strong impact at a collective scale (e.g. pollution and noise in a city), the
adoption of advanced ICT approaches for achieving a more safe, green and effective
mobility management is still an open research issue. Moreover, the familiarity
with the social networking paradigm makes people used to share information on-line
with (in)direct contacts and use it in their everyday life depending on the degree of
trust. It is worth noticing that this vision inherently deals with multimedia information,
as it aggregates, process and disseminates sensed data (originating both on
board and on the road side) integrated with warning/alarms, navigation suggestions,
and context details that come from a specific area or even the Internet
