Ad Hoc Sensor Networks and Vehicular Networking: Technology Application to Enhance Communication in Smart Cities

Abstract

It is indisputable that developments in the computer technologies are the most celebrated achievements. This observation is considered accurate because computers are increasingly playing a crucial role in the current society. Computers technologies are now applied in the automation of services such as banking and security. Additionally, computers are applied in the storage of information. Indeed, they are a popular form of entertainment, such as computer games and movies. Computers have also enhanced communication through networking. As far as education is concerned, computers are facilitating research activities, and the list continues. Therefore, the roles played by computers are perceived to be so crucial that they have been argued to be a basic need to the current society. The aim of this study was to use secondary data to investigate trends in ad hoc sensor networks and their implication for vehicular networking, a contemporary trend in computer science.
