Unfortunately, in big cities with dense road network topology, wireless propagation is disrupted due to several obstacles. Hence, a crowded RSU deployment is required for full coverage of the urban environment. However, the installation cost of RSU is immense; researchers thought of solving this issue as an optimization problem whose objective is to cover all parts of the roads with a minimum number of RSUs, in return reducing the cost of the entire VANET deployment. In this article, a brief account has been given on VANET and its challenges, followed by the survey of different methods introduced to solve the RSU deployment problem. It will help the reader to get a quick glance at the progress made in the field over the years.\u0000","PeriodicalId":37686,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sensors, Wireless Communications and Control","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78260783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vehicular fog computing (VFC) represents a collaborative multitude of onboard vehicular resources to augment the capacity of fog computing. It is an important concept to address numerous issues related to fog computing like, high installation cost, sub-optimal utilization of resources, and developing many novel applications, etc. Vehicular fog computing research has witnessed different architectural, applications, and implementation challenges, studied by various authors. In this paper, we study the architecture of vehicular fog computing and present various unique characteristics of vehicular fog computing along with providing a detailed comparison with conventional fog computing. We analyze VFC implications in ITS with respect to architecture, applications, and challenges. We discuss and analyze the existing applications and research challenges in them.

To develop or analyze an MC system, there is the need to model the communication channel through which the molecular signal diffuse, from the transmitter to the receiver. Many models for the diffusion-based MC channel have been proposed in the literature for evaluating the performance of MC systems. Most of the contemporary works assume, and rightly so for some scenarios, that the MC channels under consideration have infinite boundaries. However, this assumption becomes invalid in bounded domains such as the interiors of natural cells and artificially synthesized nanosystems.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000In this paper, the model of molecular propagation in a confined. microenvironment is employ to explore the effect of such an environment on the MC system.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The mutual information of the channel and specifically the closed-form expression of the channel capacity of the molecular signaling in the confined geometry is derive.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Numerical results showing the variation in the channel capacity as the function of the channel dimension are presented.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Results showed that the channel capacity increases with the decrease in the channel dimension.
