A Review on Forwarding Strategies in NDN based Vehicular Networks

Abstract

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a model that has been proposed by many researchers to alter the long-established IP based networking model. It derives the content centric approach rather than host-based approach. This is gaining even more traction in the wireless network and is able to replace the conventional IP-based networking. Up to now, NDN has proven to be fruitful when used with certain limitations in vehicular networks. Vehicular networks deal with exchanging information across fast moving complex vehicle network topology. The sending and receiving of information in such a scenario acts as a challenge and thus requires an effective forwarding strategy to address this problem. Different research work has provided with multiple forwarding strategy that solves the current problem up to some limit but further research work is still longed for to get an optimum solution. This paper provides a brief survey on current existing forwarding strategies related to vehicular networks using NDN as well as providing information on various resources and technologies used in it.

FSCN: a novel forwarding method based on Shannon entropy and COPRAS decision process in named data networking

“…Specifically, it is a grid in which each option is evaluated according to a set of criteria. The decision matrix is represented by X, with each element designated as xij in Equation (1).…”

“…In the Shannon entropy technique, based on the weights obtained from the indices in this stage, the indices with higher variability are considered more significant than others, and their influence on choosing the optimal option is greater. The initial step in this technique involves constructing a decision matrix according to equation (1). Then, the degree of deviation is calculated, and ultimately, weights are assigned to each of the criteria.…”

“…Numerous researchers have proposed the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture to transform the configuration of networks based on Internet Protocol (IP). Instead of a host-centric approach, this network adopts a content-centric approach [1]. In other words, applications and clients are solely concerned with the content, in contrast, the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) concentrates on identifying and locating the device, which complicates and restricts management.…”
