Preface
VehiculAr NETworks (VANETs) have been envisioned to improve road safety and efficiency, and provide Internet access on the move, by incorporating wireless communication and informatics technologies into the road transportation system. VANETs can facilitate a myriad of attractive applications related to road safety (e.g., collision avoidance, safety warnings, and remote vehicle diagnostic), infotainment (e.g., web browsing, file downloading, and video streaming), and traffic efficiency improvement and traffic management (e.g., real-time traffic notification and electronic tickets). Through the evolving VANETs applications and services, not only the road safety and efficiency can be greatly enhanced, but also the driving and in-vehicle experiences can be improved. In this monograph, we focus on the utilization of opportunistic spectrum bands, including both unlicensed bands and licensed bands for VANETs, in order to improv
