VENDNET: VEhicular Named Data NETwork

Video Streaming over Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks: A Comparative Study and Future Perspectives

“…These car innovations are observed in new cars as they are equipped with GPS, short range collision avoidance system, front and back camera, and embedded wireless sensors (Chen, et al, 2014). These facilities are necessary to warn the drivers for any possible abnormal road conditions and vehicle's mechanical defects.…”

“…Thus, establishing a network of these cameras can be useful for tele-medicine. For example, a video camera captures traffic accident at the intersection and then it is forwarded to nearest hospital for required medicine (Wu and Ma, 2013;Asefi, 2011;Chaqfeh, Lakas and Jawhar, 2014;Chen, et al, 2014). Infotainment applications of video communication among vehicles are also helpful to make this emerging network quickly penetrate in the market.…”

From today's VANETs to tomorrow's planning and the bets for the day after

“…Some ICN builtin features such as named content retrieval, easy multicast support, data replication, in-network caching, have high potential to meet the demands of several vehicular applications, as argued and demonstrated in [93][94][95][96], and to overstep the weaknesses of conventional host-centric networking solutions (e.g., mobility support, address assignment, configuration, and exhaustion, network congestion). Indeed, despite the efforts to improve IP networking for vehicular environments [97], some issues still lie ahead and alternative data-centric solutions caring about what content/resource to retrieve instead of which node provides it, like ICN, seem to be a favorable choice that could also be embedded in standardization frameworks, next to IP.…”

Boosting named data networking for data dissemination in urban VANET scenarios

“…Therefore, there is a lack of a complete targeted design of forwarding strategy for NDN-based VANET to fit urban scenarios. In the aspect of caching, VENDNET [21] uses simulations to study the performance of cache replacement policies for NDN that take content popularity into consideration in simple vehicular scenarios of a single straight road. However, the caching benefits are not well studied in the urban scenarios, and the caching redundancy problem in the wireless environment has not been discussed yet.…”
