| Abstract |
5G technology is regarded as the pioneer technology handling the massive increase in the number of connections; however, with higher frequency demands and greater transmission rates used in smart cities, 6G comes into action because of the higher futuristic demands. Transportation is considered a fundamental pillar of the smart city, and it utilizes Internet of Vehicles (IoV). The higher stringent demands of network and computing in IoV are met with the help of novel paradigms of software-defined networking (SDN), cloud computing, fog computing, and mist computing. Traffic engineering is the core issue in the centralized controller in SD-IoV (software-defined-IoV) because of the huge generation of data and stringent network requirements. This chapter discusses the use case of SD-IoV, which utilizes the myriad of computing paradigms, flexibility of SDN, and network function virtualization to improve performance and discusses some open issues. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Dr. Abraham George and G.
