Overview

To address these challenges, various emerging technologies have been introduced in vehicular communication networks, such as software defined space-air-ground integrated vehicular network [4], fog computing in vehicular networks [5], drone-assisted vehicular networks [6], and machine learning for data delivery [7]. The fifth article, “Routing protocol in VANETs Equipped with Directional Antennas: Topology-Based Neighbor Discovery and Routing Analysis” by H. Li and Z. Xu, proposes a novel neighbor discovery algorithm which makes vehicles sense the topology changes around them and arrange their directional antennas accordingly. [...]a routing protocol is proposed for vehicular networks, which is based on the conventional epidemic routing protocol, whereby the vehicles make their routing decisions according to the information collected during the neighbor discovery process.
