“…Banerjee et al [12] present an in-depth discussion and comparison of such technologies. Although most of the works consider stationary infrastructure, several papers [44,[50][51][52][53][54][55] propose Mobile Information Systems 3 mobile architectures (public transportation buses, cabs, and ordinary vehicles). There are also proposals considering the use of low cost devices as an infrastructure [56], while other proposals consider the use of external communication devices (such as public Wi-Fi) [57].…”

“…In terms of architecture, we notice analytic models for the selection of communicating devices [88,93], proposals for light-weight infrastructures employing relay nodes [13], virtual infrastructures using the publish-subscribe paradigm [52], biologically inspired solutions [94], and reputation mechanisms [45]. In terms of communication, we notice works addressing routing [14,44,95], cooperative data dissemination [22], QoS controlled media access [36], multihop communication [49], content download [23], and data traffic [96,97]. Mobility is addressed in [98][99][100].…”

The infrastructure of vehicular networks plays a major role in realizing the full potential of vehicular communications. More and more vehicles are connected to the Internet and to each other, driving new technological transformations in a multidisciplinary way. Researchers in automotive/telecom industries and academia are joining their effort to provide their visions and solutions to increasingly complex transportation systems, also envisioning a myriad of applications to improve the driving experience and the mobility. These trends pose significant challenges to the communication systems: low latency, higher throughput, and increased reliability have to be granted by the wireless access technologies and by a suitable (possibly dedicated) infrastructure. This paper presents an in-depth survey of more than ten years of research on infrastructures, wireless access technologies and techniques, and deployment that make vehicular connectivity available. In addition, we identify the limitations of present technologies and infrastructures and the challenges associated with such infrastructure-based vehicular communications, also highlighting potential solutions.

“…In [31], Giannoulis et al propose an enhanced handoff mechanism for 802.11 WLAN devices. Using a smarter handoff strategy oriented to frequent access point changes they [32] to use a modified version of the BATMAN [33] layer-2 routing protocol for providing wireless connectivity to the infrastructure network. They were able to handoff between several APs without loss of connectivity, achieving a quite constant throughput.…”

Most of the cellular network operators are nowadays striving to solve the problem caused by the increasing demand of mobile data users. In the near future, vehicles will be equipped not only with cellular connectivity, but also with dedicated short-range wireless devices, used to connect via single or multiple hops to fixed road side units attached to the infrastructure network to gain Internet access. Taking this hybrid-connectivity scenario, we propose Seamless Internet 3G and Opportunistic WLAN Vehicular Internet Connectivity (SILVIO), a solution for providing Internet connectivity in multi-hop vehicular ad hoc networks. Vehicles use the cellular network to assure always-on connectivity, while they opportunistically select to offload some non-critical flows to the multi-hop wireless local area network (WLAN). The advantages of this approach are twofold: the users can benefit from a higher bandwidth, while the operators can alleviate their overloaded cellular networks. SILVIO makes use of existing standard mobility mechanisms integrated, enhanced and extended to provide a seamless connectivity experience without introducing much complexity nor signalling overhead. One of the main contributions of this article is the proposal and analysis of different handover strategies between 3G and multi-hop WLAN networks for the vehicular scenario. A trace-driven simulator was developed to evaluate the performance improvements provided by SILVIO. Real traffic traces from the city of Madrid were used to feed the simulator which considers large vehicles as obstacles, as well. The obtained results show that using SILVIO the cellular network can be offloaded by a factor up to 80%.
