VANET (vehicular ad hoc network) is a subgroup of MANET (mobile ad hoc network). It enables communication among vehicles on the road and between related infrastructures. This book addresses the basic elements of VANET along with components involved in the communication with their functionalities and configurations. It contains numerous examples, case studies, technical descriptions, scenarios, procedures, algorithms, and protocols, and addresses the different services provided by VANET with the help of a scenario showing a network tackling an emergency.

Features:

• Covers all important concepts of VANET for beginners and different road scenarios in VANET

• Covers essential communication protocols in VANET

• Introduces approaches for VANET implementation using simulators

• Provides a classification of messages and a priority-based message forwarding strategy

This book is aimed at undergraduates, postgraduates, industry, researchers, and research scholars in information and communications technology.


This book presents the know-how of the real-time IoT application development activity including a basic understanding of the IoT architecture, use cases, smart computing, and the associated challenges in design and development of the IoT system. All the technical details related to protocol stack, technologies, and platforms used for the implementation are explained. It further includes techniques and case studies that include smart computing on the IoT–Cloud models along with test beds for experimentation purposes. The book aims at setting up the groundwork for the creation of applications that can help make day-to-day tasks simpler by meeting the needs of varied sectors like education, health care, agriculture, and so forth.

Features:

• Covers IoT cloud convergence with a focus on complex industrial IoT case studies.

• Discusses the broad background of IoT–Cloud convergence architectures and its fundamentals along with resource provisioning mechanisms.

• Emphasizes the use of context in developing context-aware IoT solutions.

• Presents a novel C-model that explains the IoT application development phases.

• Discusses a simplified convergence model that depicts the role of Cloud in an IoT application.

This book aims at graduate students, researchers, and professionals getting started in the IoT field.
