Connectivity Analysis in Vehicular Ad-hoc Network based on VDTN

Abstract

In the last decade, user demand has been increasing exponentially based on modern communication systems. One of these new technologies is known as mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET). One part of MANET is called a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET). It has different types such as vehicle-tovehicle (V2V), vehicular delay-tolerant networks, and vehicle-toinfrastructure (V2I). To provide sufficient quality of communication service in the Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Network (VDTN), it is important to present a comprehensive survey that shows the challenges and limitations of VANET. In this paper, we focus on one type of VANET, which is known as VDTNs. To investigate realistic communication systems based on VANET, we considered intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) and the possibility of replacing the roadside unit with VDTN. Many factors can affect the message propagation delay. When road-side units (RSUs) are present, which leads to an increase in the message delivery efficiency since RSUs can collaborate with vehicles on the road to increase the throughput of the network, we propose new methods based on environment and vehicle traffic and present a comprehensive evaluation of the newly suggested VDTN routing method. Furthermore, challenges and prospects are presented to stimulate interest in the scientific community.

A systematic literature review of vehicular connectivity and V2X communications: Technical aspects and new challenges

“…Hussein and Mahmood 54 focused on vehicular delay-tolerant networks (VDTNs) and ITS. They proposed a novel approach to optimize network performance by considering the deployment of RSUs and VDTNs.…”

Advances of vehicular ad hoc network using machine learning approach

“…Network-based VANET's communication capabilities between vehicle to vehicle (V2V), roadside infrastructure and other vehicles (V2I) are its main advantages. Utilising the communication platforms and protocols offered by the supporting infrastructure makes this possible [3]- [5]. VANETs have the potential to enhance safety, comfort, and overall road efficiency.…”
