Routing in Vehicular Networks: Feasibility, Modeling, and Security

Abstract

Recommended by Jianping PanVehicular networks are sets of surface transportation systems that have the ability to communicate with each other. There are several possible network architectures to organize their in-vehicle computing systems. Potential schemes may include vehicle-tovehicle ad hoc networks, wired backbone with wireless last hops, or hybrid architectures using vehicle-to-vehicle communications to augment roadside communication infrastructures. Some special properties of these networks, such as high mobility, network partitioning, and constrained topology, differentiate them from other types of wireless networks. We provide an in-depth discussion on the important studies related to architectural design and routing for such networks. Moreover, we discuss the major security concerns appearing in vehicular networks.

Secure protocols for data propagation and group communication in vehicular networks

“…The position-based routing protocol [10] is suitable for vehicular communication, since the GSP system is always one of the basic equipments inside vehicles. Broustis et al collected some routing schemes to vehicular communication, such as MDDV [11] and GSR [12].…”

“…TH 1 forwards its <gk 1 'P > to its neighboring TH 2 using one of ad hoc routing schemes such as the position routing [10]. Once the data is stored, TH 2 generates and sends a product <gk 2 'gk 1 'P > to TH 3 .…”

Breaking the Vehicular Wireless Communications Barriers: Vertical Handover Techniques for Heterogeneous Networks

“…Vehicles are able to communicate among themselves and with their Point of Attachment (PoA) [Access Points (APs) or Basestations (BSs)] under the ad-hoc or the infrastructure modes [1], respectively. The vehicular contexts are, from a wireless communications point of view, highly dynamic, and vehicles must be able to deal with heterogeneity through context awareness and Vertical Handover (VHO) capabilities.…”

Applying Vehicular Networks for Reduced Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions"

“…To exchange and distribute messages, broadcast and geocast routing protocols have been proposed for ITS applications (Broustis & Faloutsos, 2008;Sichitiu & Kihl, 2008) to evaluate network performance (e.g., message delays and packet delivery ratio), instead of evaluating the impact of the protocols on the vehicular system (e.g., fuel consumption, emissions, and travel time).…”
