Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The age of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) is advancing rapidly and will cause significant changes at the societal level. However, there is still progress to be made in this field. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in vehicular communications, networks, and systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Vehicular Communication Technologies:

5G and 802.11p; Cloud-RAN and SDRAN; heterogeneous communication systems; propagation models; backhaul systems; future technologies for vehicular systems, including 6G, 802.11bd, Li-Fi, UAV platforms, and low-orbiting satellite systems.

Vehicular Networking:

Vehicle networking architectures, network programming paradigms, network slicing, new network and transport protocols, AI and machine learning algorithms, internet of vehicles, analytical models, and testbeds for vehicular systems.

Vehicular Systems:

Vehicular edge clouds, orchestration, mobile services, end-to-end quality-of-service guarantees, security and privacy issues, trust and reputation models, service management and application frameworks, digital twin technologies, smart transport, social internet of vehicles, new types of CAVs, applications and services, and business and economic transportation models.

We are seeking exciting articles showcasing original ideas, detailed evaluations, and insightful results.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Reliability and security when distributing safety messages among vehicles in an extremely mobile environment are prominent issues in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). In VANET, data transfer becomes challenging because of inherent features such as excessive speed, geographically constrained topologies, unsteady communication links, diversity in the capacity of the channel, etc. A major challenge in the multi-hop framework is maintaining and building a path under such a rigid environment. With VANET, potency in the traffic safety applications has performed well because of the proper design of medium access control (MAC) protocols. In this article, a protocol is proposed pertaining to the distribution of safety messages named mobility-aware multi-hop clustering-based MAC (MAMC-MAC) to accomplish minimum communication overhead, high reliability, and delivery of safety messages in real-time environments. MAMC-MAC has the ability to establish clustering-based multi-hop sequence using the time-division multiple access (TDMA) technique. The protocol was specially developed for highway outlines to achieve network enhancement and efficient channel usage and guarantees integrity among the vehicles. The performance of the proposed protocol is evaluated using Network Simulator (NS-2), and it demonstrates its superiority over various standard protocols in terms of a number of quality-of-service (QoS)-based parameters. The criteria to select and assess these parameters are their sensitivity and importance to the safety-based applications they provide. Full article
