Guest Editorial Special Issue on Green Communication and Networking for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

With the advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and communication technologies (5G beyond/6G), Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) is eventually being realized and will make a major contribution to the development of smart mobility systems in the pursuit of green and sustainable economies. Cooperative driving features allowed by CAVs will dramatically reduce CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> emissions, allowing for more environmentally friendly intelligent, smart and sustainable transportation. More sophisticated green communication and networking computation technologies are needed for CAVs environments due to the heterogeneity of networking organizations, strict implementation specifications, and restricted resources.
