Title: Role of Future Internet Architecture in Vehicular Networks
Abstract: Vehicular networks are today’s reality. The network is important to realize many applications that are enabling elements of a smart city. A typical vehicular network comprises of the onboard units (OBUs) interfaced with the vehicle electronics, road-side units (RSUs), smart road signs, adaptive traffic lights, and so forth. All network elements are ubiquitously connected with each other through several networking technologies, including but not limited to, DSRC/WAVE, LTE, WiFi, etc. The content communication among all vehicular network elements is a challenging task due to its peculiar characteristics encompassing intermittent connectivity, short link duration, unpredictable link quality, and very fast mobility. Additionally, all the conventional content communication technologies establish and secure the channel and assume that it will stop the spam content, which is not the case. Also, there is not yet any standard to efficiently support quality service access in presence of the fast mobility. As a result, the guaranteed and secure content communication with mobility support in vehicular networks is a challenging task. In order to address these challenges, the future Internet architectures have been proposed, which includes the Named Data Networking (NDN), Content Centric Networking (CCN), MobilityFirst, and so forth. In this presentation, we will take a closer look on how does the NDN help to meet the content demand of the future vehicular applications.

Title: 5GB e-Health Networks and Related Services, from Theory to Reality
Abstract: Information and communication technology (ICT) for health has been widely discussed. However, due to the limited number of connected devices, slow transmission speed, low communication reliability and higher latency drawbacks of prior cellular communications generations, e-health was not widely adopted. The ongoing development of 5G is accelerating the practical use of e-health networks and related services. Stunning 5G envisions are the ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMMB) and massive machine type communications (mMTC), which fit the requirements of e-health networks and related services perfectly. However, due to the technology limitations of 5G’s current version, more endeavors are still needed, especially for the URLLC. Besides the technical limitations, ethics and privacy information protection are also challenging the deployments of 5G and beyond technologies (5GB) e-health networks and related services. Motivated by the above, in this tutorial, we cover the related technology solutions, user cases, future research trends and challenges for the 5GB e-health networks and related services. Ultimately, the intent of this tutorial is to provide an in-depth exposition of 5GB research and to serve as a basis for stimulating more out-of-the-box research about the 5GB e-health networks and services.
