IEEE 802 IEEE 802.11 IEEE 802.15 IEEE 802.16 IEEE 802.20 • Refers to a family of IEEE standards dealing with local area networks and metropolitan area networks • The services and protocols specified in IEEE 802 map to the lower two layers • Data Link • Logical Link Control (LLC) • Media Access Control (MAC) • Physical
Note: NFC (Near Field Communication) • A short-rangehigh frequency wireless communication technology which enables the exchange of data between devices over about a 10 centimetre (around 4 inches) distance • The technology is a simple extension of the ISO/IEC 14443 proximity-card standard (contactless card, RFID) that combines the interface of a smartcard and a reader into a single device
An NFC device can communicate with both existing ISO/IEC 14443 smartcards and readers, as well as with other NFC devices, and is thereby compatible with existing contactless infrastructure already in use for public transportation and payment • NFC technology is currently mainly aimed at being used with mobile phones
Three main use cases for NFC • card emulation: the NFC device behaves like an existing contactless card • reader mode: the NFC device is active and read a passive RFID tag, for example for interactive advertising • P2P mode: two NFC devices are communicating together and exchanging information
Applications • Mobile ticketing in public transport — an extension of the existing contactless infrastructure • Mobile payment — the device acts as a debit/ credit payment card • Smart poster — the mobile phone is used to read RFID tags on outdoor billboards in order to get info on the move • Bluetooth pairing — pairing of Bluetooth devices with NFC bringing them close together and accepting the pairing
Other applications • Electronic ticketing — airline tickets, concert/event tickets, and others • Electronic money • Travel cards • Identity documents • Mobile commerce • Electronic keys — car keys, house/office keys, hotel room keys, etc. • NFC can be used to configure and initiate other wireless network connections such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Ultra-wideband

Roadside-to-Vehicle Communication (RVC) Systems • Communication between roadside infrastructure (RSU) and OBU • Two types of infrastructures • Sparse RVC (SRVC) system • Ubiquitous RVC (URVC) system
RVC Systems - SRVC • Provide communication services at hot spots • Examples • a busy intersection scheduling its traffic light • a gas station advertising its existence (and prices) • parking availability at an airport
RVC Systems - URVC • Provide all roads with high-speed communication • Require considerable investments for providing full (even significant) coverage of existing roadways
Hybrid Vehicular Communication (HVC) Systems • Extend the transmission range of RVC systems • Vehicles communicate with roadside infrastructure even when they are not in direct wireless range by using other vehicles as mobile routers
HVC – Adv. & Disadv. • Advantage • less roadside infrastructure • Disadvantage • network connectivity may not be guaranteed in scenarios with low vehicle density
