International Workshop on Vehicular Telematics over Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
in conjunction with CollaborateCom 2017 Dec. 11-12, 2017, Edinburgh, Great Britain
About
Vehicular Telematics are gaining significant interest from academic and industry. Following the successful deployment of many wireless access technologies as well as their corresponding infrastructures, the next significant evolution to the practical realization of highly efficient vehicular telematics is the vehicular telematics over heterogeneous wireless networks, which uses multiple access technologies and multiple radios in a cooperative manner. Multiple wireless communication and networking technologies including WiFi, WiMax, DSRC, 3G, Zigbee, Bluetooth, LTE as well as satellite technology are vital to support reliable data transmission for vehicular telematics and other relevant applications. However, each of them stands alone, operates independently on different frequency bands and has its own historic justification; one single type of those wireless networks is far more insufficient to address all types of safety, traffic and comfort applications over all situations, and neither purely infrastructure-based nor purely ad-hoc vehicular networks can meet all the requirements of vehicular telematics at the same time. It is obvious that integrating those existing heterogeneous wireless networks will constitute a much more powerful unified architecture able to fully exploit capability and radio resources of all the individual wireless networks, to provide a framework for various applications of vehicular telematics and to enable users to enjoy “ABC (Always Best Connection) anywhere at any time.
The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent advances in vehicular telematics over heterogeneous wireless networks. The topics in this workshop will cover those emerging researches that aim at dealing with the challenges in designing the essential functional components of vehicular telematics over heterogeneous wireless networks and the corresponding protocols (for radio link control, routing, congestion control, security and privacy, and application development). Additionally, the workshop will also put a deep insight into the cooperation of multiple radios and multiple access technologies for the integration of heterogeneous wireless networks, and focus on the issues that are related to multi-mode communications, the ubiquitous connection through converged vehicular networks, heterogeneous resources management as well as the development of various advanced information applications in telematics and infotainment systems.
