Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is the most important infrastructure for smart cities. With the development of the Internet of Vehicles, it has deeply integrated the Internet of Things with intelligent transportation. Intelligent transportation uses the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) as a solution for communication between vehicles. It improves traffic management applications and services in order to guarantee safety on roads.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions dealing with any of the technological facets of the Internet of Vehicles, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Wireless sensor networks within the IoV;
  • IoVs over future internet architectures (NDN, CCN);
  • Routing protocols for the IoV;
  • Intelligent Life Monitoring System for Vehicles;
  • Communications in the IoV;
  • Applications of blockchain and cloud computing for the IoV;
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) for the IoV;
  • New technologies for the IoV.
  • Social networks on the IoV;
  • Communication in the IoV;
  • Cyber security and privacy issues.

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are expected to bring about a revolutionary transformation in vehicular networks, thus paving the way for a future characterized by connected and automated vehicles (CAV). An RIS is a planar structure comprising many passive elements that can dynamically manipulate electromagnetic waves to enhance wireless communication by reflecting, refracting, and focusing signals in a programmable manner. RIS exhibits substantial potential for improving vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication through various means, including coverage enhancement, interference mitigation, improving signal strength, and providing additional layers of privacy and security. This article presents a comprehensive survey that explores the emerging opportunities arising from the integration of RIS into vehicular networks. To examine the convergence of RIS and V2X communications, the survey adopted a holistic approach, thus highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of this combination. In this study, we examined several applications of RIS-aided V2X communication. Subsequently, we delve into the fundamental emerging technologies that are expected to empower vehicular networks, encompassing mobile edge computing (MEC), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), millimeter-wave communication (mmWave), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and visible light communication (VLC). Finally, to stimulate further research in this domain, we emphasize noteworthy research challenges and potential avenues for future exploration. Full article
