Now in its 16th edition, the IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) has been the primary venue for the community working and interested in cooperative and autonomous driving, as well as vehicular communication and networking at large.
The 2025 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking, V2X communications connected & automated driving, and related applications.
IEEE VNC 2025 will be held in Porto, Portugal from June 2 to June 4, 2025.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Connectivity
Radio technologies for vehicular networks (e.g., channel measurements, propagation models, antenna design)
V2X communication technologies, including DSRC, C-V2X, 5G/6G, WiFi, satellite, and emerging technologies like VLC, mmWave, THz, or massive MIMO, beamforming, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) / Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS)
Networking, transport and QoS management for vehicular networks
In-vehicle communication and networking systems
Time-sensitive and deterministic networks for vehicular communications
Architecture and System Design
Heterogeneous vehicular networking (e.g., multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology, multi-operator) and coexistence of access technologies
Architectures and system designs for connected automated driving incl. cloud and edge computing and IoT integration
Security, privacy, liability, and dependability of vehicular networks
Integration of V2C communications with on-board systems and networks
Software-defined networks and software-defined vehicles
Tools & Methods
Platforms for simulation, emulation, prototyping, measurement, field trials, and real-world deployment of vehicular networks
Optimization techniques and artificial intelligence (e.g., linear programming, machine learning) with unique benefits for vehicular applications
