A complete introduction tocar-to-X communications networking

Automotive Inter-networking will introduce a range of new
network and system technologies for vehicle safety, entertainment
and comfort systems currently being researched and developed. C2X
networking is not only a matter of technology, but is also very
closely related to policy-making about deployment. This book will
provide the background on technical developments but will also
discuss the potential benefits, costs and risks. Also discussed
will be concepts related to application of vehicle-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-infrastructure communication technologies for various
purposes such as automobile safety enhancement, vehicle user
applications for comfort and convenience and efficiency along with
other potential commercial applications.

Application domains will build the starting point for an
analysis of the requirements on suitable mobile network technology
and the book will look at how well existing and new systems match
these requirements. New automotive-specific technologies are
presented in detail, explaining millimeter wave short range systems
and special automotive network protocols. Specially designed system
services and security mechanisms are introduced and system
architecture, radio spectrum use, medium access control, network
protocols and security concepts and considered. Finally, the
book will present the current world-wide standardization
activities, deployment strategies and an outlook about the
evolvement of inter-vehicle communications in the next decades.

topics

* Written by well known experts in the field

* Predicts the outlook of the evolvement of inter-vehicle
communications in the next decades

* Includes illustrations and high-level technical sketches of
application domains and photographs, 3D renderings and professional
graphical sketches of current prototypes
