Inter-Vehicular Communications (IVC) are a cornerstone of the future intelligent transportation systems. A crucial enabling component of IVC is its security and privacy. Indeed, as vehicular computing systems become interconnected, there will be new venues for attackers to exploit system vulnerabilities. In addition, proper security mechanisms can assist in law enforcement and automate payment ...

This paper presents new attitude to adaptive control of the multi-path and multi-technology technology wireless access communications solutions. Presented approach is response on transport processes management requirements to provide complex seamless communication services in the selection of different modes coverage and guaranteed quality. Such solutions are related to communications of the ve...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely applied in various fields, including but not limited to military, industry, and agriculture. But UAVs also confront severe security threats, which slows down their wide application. Current research mainly focuses on the of a single UAV system, while paying little attention UAV-related communications, especially physical network layers. Thus, it ...

The Northrop Grumman Cordless Communications System (CCS) is a state-of-the-art, wireless communications system targeted for tomorrow’s armored battlefield. Through a single, hand-held or body-mounted Personal Communications Unit (PCU), the CCS provides the soldier with access to a digital, fullduplex wireless intercom, as well as the capability to simultaneously communicate over a point-to-poi...

In this paper we analyse the provision of enhanced communications between vehicles. It is expected that vehicles will have several communication devices, and that a specialised node will provide external connectivity to these devices, i.e. the devices in the vehicle form a Mobile Network. We propose the use of Network Mobility communication solutions for providing access from the vehicles to an...

Cooperative vehicular communication systems are being developed to improve traffic safety and efficiency through the wireless exchange of information between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure units. The future deployment of cooperative active safety applications requires their prior extensive testing due to their critical nature and strict quality of service requirements. Such te...

In turn, Co-operative Systems are the most promising technology within the ITS framework. The word “co-operative” indicates that vehicles are collaborating with each other and with the infrastructure, exploiting wireless communications, in order to increase their awareness about the road environment. There are two types of communication in co-operative systems, namely vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) a...
