Abstract:

In this talk, we present the impact of vehicle mobility on the performance of VANET. In specific, we discuss our recent research results on: how to utilize mobility characteristics of vehicles to derive the achievable asymptotic throughput capacity in VANETs; how to develop the mobility-aware real-time path planning to maximize spatial utility based on mobility differentiation; and  how to develop the charging strategies based on mobility of electric vehicles to improve the electricity utility, in order to approach load capacities of charging stations in VANET-enhanced smart grid.
