On the realization of VANET using named data networking: On improvement of VANET using NDN‐based routing, caching, and security

Abstract

Summary Named data networking (NDN) presents a huge opportunity to tackle some of the unsolved issues of IP‐based vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). The core characteristics of NDN such as the name‐based routing, in‐network caching, and built‐in data security provide better management of VANET proprieties (e.g., the high mobility, link intermittency, and dynamic topology). This study aims at providing a clear view of the state‐of‐the‐art on the developments in place, in order to leverage the characteristics of NDN in VANET. We resort to a systematic literature review (SLR) to perform a reproducible study, gathering the proposed solutions and summarizing the main open challenges on implementing NDN‐based VANET. There exist several related studies, but they are more focused on other topics such as forwarding. This work specifically restricts the focus on VANET improvements by NDN‐based routing (not forwarding), caching, and security. The surveyed solution herein presented is performed between 2010 and 2021. The results show that proposals on the selected topics for NDN‐based VANET are recent (mainly from 2016 to 2021). Among them, caching is the most investigated topic. Finally, the main findings and the possible roadmaps for further development are highlighted.

Mathematical Models for Named Data Networking Producer Mobility Techniques: A Review

“…In the year 2022 there was a variety of review research from different perspectives, especially regarding vehicular NDN [43,44], security and privacy over NDN [45,46], mobility on NDN [47], as well as forwarding and routing on NDN [48]. There were significant discussions on routing, caching, and security mechanisms.…”

CMAF: Context and Mobility-Aware Forwarding Model for V-NDN

“…The authors in [22] proposed a hierarchical, cellular, and cluster-based architecture for NDN-based VANET, where nodes dubbed "barycenters" take the responsibility for communicating with a cellular layer in each cluster. For the interested reader, several other studies can be found in surveys such as [23][24][25][26][27][28], which include research challenges on implementing NDN-based VANET.…”

“…There are several solutions for content dissemination in NDN-based VANET. This work does not pretend to perform an exhaustive survey on the state of the art of forwarding schemes; existing surveys on this matter include [6,17,28,32] and the ones mentioned in Section 1.3.…”

“…Studies that include FIB management for their forwarding decisions are considered to be routing protocols. This distinction is important and is extensively discussed in [28].…”

“…Another alternative to beacon broadcasting is the overhearing of the packets in the wireless channel and using them to build and update the list of neighbors. Moreover, as proposed in [28], incorporating packet overhearing and mobility prediction for updating the list of neighbors may avoid the need for beacon broadcasting and help to keep the transmission overhead low.…”
