Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have become one of the active areas of research, standardization, and development because they have tremendous potentials to improve vehicle and road safety, traffic efficiency, and convenience as well as comfort to both drivers and passengers. However, message trustfulness is a challenge because the propagation of false message by malicious vehicles induces unreliable and ineffectiveness of VANETs, Therefore, we need a reliable reputation method to ensure message trustfulness. In this paper, we consider a vulnerability against the Sybil attack of the previous reputation systems based on blockchain and suggest a new reputation system which resists against Sybil attack on the previous system. We propose an initial authentication process as a countermeasure against a Sybil attack and provide a reliable reputation with a cooperative message delivery to cope with message omission. In addition, we use Homomorphic Commitment to protect the privacy breaches in VANETs environment.

VANET is an upcoming technology with an encouraging prospect as well as great challenges, specifically in its security. This paper intends to survey such probable attacks and the correlating detection mechanisms that are introduced in the literature. Accordingly, administering security and protecting the owner's privacy has become a primary argument in VANETs. To furnish stronger security and preserve privacy, one should recognize the various probable attacks on the network and the essence of their behavior. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on diversified attacks and the recommended unfolding by the various researchers which concentrate on security services and the corresponding countermeasures to make VANET communications more secure.

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET's) are gaining popularity in research community with every passing year due to the key role they play in Intelligent Transportation System. Their primary objective is to provide safety, but their potential to offer a variety of user-oriented services makes them more attractive. The biggest challenge in providing all these services is the inherent characteristics of VANET itself such as highly dynamic topology due to which maintaining continuous communication among vehicles is extremely difficult. Here comes the importance of routing solutions which traditionally are designed using strict layered architecture but fail to address stringent QoS requirements. The paradigm of cross-layer design for routing has shown remarkable performance improvements. This paper aims to highlight routing challenges in VANET, limitations of single-layer solutions and presents a survey of cross-layer routing solutions that utilize the information from the MAC layer to improve routing performance in VANET.

스마트폰, PDA와 같은 다양한 무선통신 단말들이 출현하면서 차량 내에서도 인터넷 서비스를 사용하려는 사용자들이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 이동중인 차량 내에서 인터넷 엑세스를 위해, 그리고 차량이 다른 서브넷 사이를 이동하더라도 시그널링 오버헤드가 크지 않게 하기 위해, network mobility basic support (NEMO BS) protocol이 제안되었다. 그러나 차량 내의 노드들에게 QoS를 지원하기 위해서 session admission 기법 등이 필요하다. 이 때, 차량 내에서 발생하는 세션은 new session과 handoff session으로 구분할 수 있는데, new session의 봉쇄보다 handoff session의 봉쇄가 서비스 만족도 측면에서 더 큰 임팩트를 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량 외부에서 차량으로 이동한 노드들의 handoff session 봉쇄확률을 줄이기 위한 늦은 바인딩 업데이트 기법을 제안한다.

In this study, we introduce a loosely coupled relative position estimation method that utilizes a decentralized ultrawideband (UWB), Global Navigation Support System and inertial navigation system for flight controllers (FCs). Key obstacles to multidrone collaboration include relative position errors and the absence of communication devices. To address this, we provide an extended Kalman filter-based algorithm and module that correct distance errors by fusing UWB data acquired through random communications. Via simulations, we confirm the feasibility of the algorithm and verify its distance error correction performance according to the amount of communications. Real-world tests confirm the algorithm's effectiveness on FCs and the potential for multidrone collaboration in real environments. This method can be used to correct relative multidrone positions during collaborative transportation and simultaneous localization and mapping applications.

In Vehicular Ad-hoc Network(VANET) which constructs networks without fixed infrastructure among vehicles, network topology is frequently changed due to high mobility. In case of urban model, communication disconnections caused by interruptions of communication propagation such as buildings and constructions could be often occurred. Therefore, in VANET environment a routing protocol to complement its characteristics is needed. This paper suggests an algorithm to improve the transmission performance at intersections by approaching of the distance-based broadcasting which utilizes the information of vehicle's position. By using relative velocity among vehicles, it makes the stability of route decision improved and reduces packet collisions through graded priorities in the intersection, and simultaneously improves the performance of data rate. It can be seen that the performance compared with previous algorithm is significantly improved when using the suggested algorithm in the urban traffic environment.

In this paper, we propose a novel Vehicular Ad-hoc Network(VANET) which includes communication and ranging features, using Spread Spectrum(SS) multi-carrier modulation scheme. In existing methods, a spread spectrum technique was used to communicate with other vehicles and raging was possible by detecting phase difference between transmission/reception of the PN signal. However, the use of high-speed PN signals is mandatory to detect possible errors of phase difference and to increase the analysis capacity. In the proposed system, multi-carrier modulation scheme was used as solution of mentioned problem. The multi-carrier modulation scheme uses smaller PN signal and chip-rate than the single-carrier modulation, so it is possible to send multiple carrier waves using the same frequency range. This technique (multiple carrier waves) allows to have the Equal Gain Combing (EGC) diversity effect, providing better result in phase difference error detection and raging accuracy.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks is temporarily established through inter-vehicle communication without any additional infrastructure aids. It requires a immediate message propagation because it mainly deals with critical traffic information such as traffic accidents. The distance-based broadcast scheme is one of the representative broadcast schemes for vehicular ad-hoc network. In this scheme, a node to disseminate messages is selected based on a distance from a source node. However, a message propagation delay will be increased if the relay nodes are not placed at the border of transmission range of the source node. In particular, when the node density is low, the message propagation delay is getting longer. In this paper, we propose a time-window reservation based relay node selection scheme. A node receiving the alert message from the source node has its time-window and randomly selects its waiting time within the given time-window range. A proportional time period of the given time-window is reserved in order to reduce the message propagation delay. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has shorter message propagation delay than the distance-based broadcast scheme irrespective of node density in VANET. In particular, when the node density is low, the proposed scheme shows about 26% shorter delay and about 46% better performance in terms of compound metric, which is a function of propagation latency and network traffic.

Message authentication is an essential security element in vehicular ad-hoc network(VANET). For a secure message authentication, integrity, availability, privacy preserving skill, and also efficiency in various environment should be provided. RAISE scheme has been proposed to provide efficient message authentication in the environment crowded with lots of vehicles and generally considered to be hard to provide efficiency. However, as the number of vehicles communicating in the area increases, the overhead is also incurred in proportion to the number of vehicles so that it still needs to be reduced, and the scheme is vulnerable to some attacks. In this paper, to make up for the vulnerabilities in dense vehicular communication network, we propose a more secure and efficient scheme using a process that RSU(Road Side Unit) transmits the messages of neighbor vehicles at once with Bloom Filter, and timestamp to protect against replay attack. Moreover, by adding a handover function to the scheme, we simplify the authentication process as omitting the unnecessary key-exchange process when a vehicle moves to other area. And we confirm the safety and efficiency of the scheme by simulating the false positive probability and calculating the traffic.
