This paper surveys recent literature on vehicular social networks that are a particular class of
vehicular ad hoc networks, characterized by social aspects and features. Starting from this …

Abstract A Vehicular Social Network (VSN) is an emerging field of communication where
relevant concepts are being borrowed from two different disciplines, ie, vehicular ad-hoc …

In this paper, we investigate the opportunistic spectrum access for cognitive radio vehicular
ad hoc networks. The probability distribution of the channel availability is first derived …

Minimizing the end-to-end delay for data dissemination in a large-scale VANET with both
buses of fixed schedules and taxis of random schedules is a challenging issue, due to the …

Access infrastructure, such as Wi-Fi access points and cellular base stations (BSs), plays a
vital role in providing pervasive Internet services to vehicles. However, the deployment costs …

Word clouds have been widely used to present the contents and themes in the text for
summary and visualization. In this paper, we propose a new semantic word cloud taking into …

The capacity scaling law of wireless networks has been considered as one of the most
fundamental issues. In this survey, we aim at providing a comprehensive overview of the …

Bandwidth availability in the cellular backhaul is challenged by ever-increasing demand by
mobile users. Vehicular users, in particular, are likely to retrieve large quantities of data …

In cognitive radio enabled vehicular ad-hoc networks (CR-VANETs), the secondary users,
ie, the secondary intelligent vehicles have the ability to perceive the driving environment and …

Vehicular communications networks are envisioned for the access to drive-thru Internet and
IP-based infotainment applications. These services are supported by roadside access …
