Recent advances in software, hardware, computing, and control have fueled significant prog-ress in the field of autonomous systems. Notably, autonomous machines should continuously estimate how the scenario in which they move and operate will evolve within a predefined timeframe, and foresee whether or not the network will be able to fulfill the agreed quality of service (QoS). If not, appropriate countermea-sures should be taken to satisfy the application requirements. Along these lines, in this ...

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels exhibit unique properties due to the highly dynamic environment and low elevation of the antennas at both ends of the link. Of particular importance for the behavior of V2V channels, and consequent reliability of the communication link, is the severity and dynamics of blockage of both the line-of-sight and other multipath components (MPCs). The characteristics of blockage become more important as the carrier frequency increases, and the ability of the signal to penetrate ...

Wireless vehicular communications and sensing technologies are key to enabling more advanced intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) with improved safety and efficiency. Within the realm of wireless communication, millimeter-wave (mmwave) technology has recently received much attention, providing rich spectrum resources to support the timely transmission of large amounts of data. This is especially important for vehicular applications because the number of sensors on modern vehicles is rapidly increasing ...

The ultimate goal of next-generation vehicle-toeverything (V2X) communication systems is enabling accident-free, cooperative automated driving that uses the available roadway efficiently. To achieve this goal, the communication system will need to enable a diverse set of use cases, each with a specific set of requirements. We discuss the main usecase categories, analyze their requirements, and compare them against the capabilities of currently available communication technologies. Based on the analysis, ...

Recent research has shown that both radio and visible light waves can be used to enable communications in highly dynamic vehicular environments. However, the roles of these two technologies and how they interact with each other in future vehicular communication systems remain unclear. Understanding the propagation characteristics is an essential step in investigating the benefits and shortcomings of each technology. To this end, we discuss salient properties of radio and visible light propagation ...

Safety and efficiency applications in vehicular networks rely on the exchange of periodic messages between vehicles. These messages contain position, speed, heading, and other vital information that makes the vehicles aware of their surroundings. The drawback of exchanging periodic cooperative messages is that they generate significant channel load. Decentralized Congestion Control (DCC) algorithms have been proposed to minimize the channel load. However, while the rationale for periodic message ...

In countries with elevated prevalence of zoonotic anisakiasis and high awareness of this parasitosis, a considerable number of cases that associate Anisakis sp. (Nematoda, Anisakidae) and different bowel carcinomas have been described. Although neoplasia and embedded larvae were observed sharing the common site affected by chronic inflammation, no association between the nematode and malignancy were directly proved. Similarly, no data are available about the effect of secretory and excretory products ...

We perform an extensive study of cooperative awareness in vehicular communication based on periodic message exchange. We start by analyzing measurements collected on four test sites across Europe. To measure cooperative awareness, we use three metrics: 1) neighborhood awareness ratio; 2) ratio of neighbors above range; and 3) packet delivery rate. Using the collected data, we define a simple model for calculating neighborhood awareness given packet delivery ratio for a given environment. Finally, ...

Vehicular communication is characterized by a dynamic environment, high mobility, and comparatively low antenna heights on the communicating entities (vehicles and roadside units). These characteristics make vehicular propagation and channel modeling particularly challenging. In this article, we classify and describe the most relevant vehicular propagation and channel models, with a particular focus on the usability of the models for the evaluation of protocols and applications. We first classify ...

A thorough understanding of the communications channel between vehicles is essential for realistic modeling of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) and the development of related technology and applications. The impact of vehicles as obstacles on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication has been largely neglected in VANET research, especially in simulations. Useful models accounting for vehicles as obstacles must satisfy a number of requirements, most notably accurate positioning, realistic mobility patterns, ...

First, we analyze the available empirical data on travel and traffic volume in the United States, and point out the most important challenges that have to be met in order to enable multiplayer games over VANET. We then propose a new paradigm of multiplayer games over VANET, one which utilizes the new, interactive and dynamic VANET environment, while ...

We characterize the unicast performance available to applications in infrastructureless vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in terms of connection duration, packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and jitter in both highway and urban VANET environments. The results show the existence of several stringent QoS constraints for unicast applications in infrastructureless VANETs.

Due to the dynamic nature of vehicular traffic and the road surroundings, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) propagation characteristics vary greatly on both small- and large-scale. Recent measurements have shown that both large static objects (e.g., buildings and foliage) as well as mobile objects (surrounding vehicles) have a profound impact on V2V communication. At the same time, system-level Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) simulators by and large employ simple statistical propagation models, which do not ...

One of the stumbling blocks for implementation of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks is the penetration rate: the percentage of vehicles that have the communication equipment installed. As the equipment deployment is unlikely to happen instantaneously, it is important to explore the performance gains achievable at low penetration rates.

Performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications depends highly on the employed scheduling approach. While centralized network schedulers offer high V2V communication reliability, their operation is conventionally restricted to areas with full cellular network coverage. In contrast, in out-of-cellular-coverage areas, comparatively inefficient distributed radio resource management is used. To exploit the benefits of the centralized approach for enhancing the reliability of V2V communications ...
