Wireless communication network infrastructure analysis for smart service system functioning

Abstract

The communication infrastructure, as the basis for technical capabilities, provides the preconditions for interoperability between wireless computer networks and ground vehicles. Such infrastructure supports and enables the selection of mobility scenarios and helps to manage real transport situations. The communication infrastructure between wireless networks and terrestrial vehicles is described using an analysis of the methods proposed in the literature and the results obtained in the communication professional field. The aim is to identify the needs and capabilities of existing wireless networks to provide the necessary e-services on road infrastructure. The field of communication infrastructure is changing rapidly and is an area being developed by communication professionals, but the equipment is also involved in the operations of application systems (smart services). An overview of some important aspects of the applications of wireless communication networks is provided in this chapter by describing the main needs of wireless network infrastructure, the specifics of their characteristics, the results of the analysis of the characteristics of communication protocols, and their capabilities.
