The development of intelligent transportation systems raises many requirements to the current vehicular networks. For instance, to ensure secure communications between vehicles, low latency, high connectivity and high data rate are required for vehicular networks. To meet such requirements, the 5G communication systems for vehicular networks should be improved accordingly. This article proposes a communication scheme for 5G vehicular networks, in which moving access points are deployed on vehicles to facilitate the access of vehicle users. Moreover, the adjacent vehicle-installed moving access points may cooperatively communicate with the vehicle users by joint transmissions and receptions.In this way, the vehicle users communicate with one or more unspecified cooperative access points in a cell-less manner instead of being associated to a single access point. To manage such cell-less networks, local moving software-defined cloudlets are adopted to perform transmission and scheduling management. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the latency, while improving the connectivity of the vehicular networks, and can be considered as a research direction for the solution to 5G vehicular networks.Accepted by IEEE Wireless Communications SI on "Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks".Lijun Wang is with Wuhan University and Wenhua College; to deploy application services and network equipment close to the moving vehicles, such that the latency of network transmission and service response time can be reduced significantly.One of the important approaches to providing services close to the vehicles is the mobile edge computing scheme. By mobile edge computing, computing and storage resources are deployed at a variety of the edge network equipment to provide rapid services for mobile users [2]. Because of the high mobility of vehicles, the traditional mobile computing encounters challenges of efficient and rapid resource scheduling and allocation. Meanwhile, the approach to providing communication services close to the vehicles is to implement the access network among the vehicles themselves. Based on this as-close-as-possible deployment strategy, dynamic, open, self-organized, easy-deploying, and cost-effective VNETs can be realized instead of traditional monitoring-focused traffic assisting systems. Consequently, the study on new architectures of VNET is vital for the future development of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs).The concept of VNET grows out of an application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and in the early days of VNETs, many devices and protocols directly came from WSNs and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However, because of the quick movement of vehicles, many existing protocols including ZigBee and Bluetooth are not suitable for VNETs anymore.In contrast, IEEE 802.11p and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) are recognized as two most important technologies for VNETs [3]. Based on these technologies, various architectures for VNETs have been developed. General...
