Welcome to the July 2026 issue of VTS Mobile World – your IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter.
This edition begins with an invitation to register now and join us in Boston, MA USA for VTC2026-Fall, and outlines some of the special events planned. Then we feature enlightening articles contributed by experts, gathered from the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Transportation Systems, and Mobile Radio columns in the April 2026 edition of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine. Finally, two recently published papers, from the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and the IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology, are offered for their valuable insights.
As always, I am always available to hear your feedback; just send me a note at [email protected].
