Cloud Computing Enabled Big-Data Analytics in Wireless Ad-hoc Networks

This book discusses intelligent computing through the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big-Data in vehicular environments in a single volume. It covers important topics, such as topology-based routing protocols, heterogeneous wireless networks, security risks, software-defined vehicular ad-hoc networks, vehicular delay tolerant networks, and energy harvesting for WSNs using rectenna.

• Covers applications of IoT in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs)
• Discusses use of machine learning and other computing techniques for enhancing performance of networks
• Explains game theory-based vertical handoffs in heterogeneous wireless networks
• Examines monitoring and surveillance of vehicles through the vehicular sensor network
• Investigates theoretical approaches on software-defined VANET

The book is aimed at graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer science, and engineering.
