Intelligent Resource Management in Vehicular Networks (Hardcover)

This book provides a comprehensive investigation on new technologies for future vehicular networks. The authors propose different schemes to efficiently manage the multi-dimensional resources for supporting diversified applications. The authors answer the questions of why connected and automated vehicle technology should be considered; how the multi-access edge computing (MEC) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies can be helpful to vehicular networks; how to efficiently manage the multi-dimensional resources to support different vehicular applications with guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS) requirements; and how to adopt optimization and AI technologies to achieve resource management in vehicular networks. The book is pertinent to researchers, professionals, academics and students in vehicular technologies.
