Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are highly dynamic and unstable due to the heterogeneous nature of the communications, intermittent links, high mobility and constant changes in network topology. Currently, some of the most important challenges of VANETs are the scalability problem, congestion, unnecessary duplication of data, low delivery rate, communication delay and temporary fragmentation. Many recent studies have focused on a hybrid mechanism to disseminate information implementing the store and forward technique in sparse vehicular networks, as well as clustering techniques to avoid the scalability problem in dense vehicular networks. However, the selection of intermediate nodes in the store and forward technique, the stability of the clusters and the unnecessary duplication of data remain as central challenges. Therefore, we propose an adaptable destination-based dissemination algorithm (DBDA) using the publish/subscribe model. DBDA considers the destination of the vehicles as an important parameter to form the clusters and select the intermediate nodes, contrary to other proposed solutions. Additionally, DBDA implements a publish/subscribe model. This model provides a context-aware service to select the intermediate nodes according to the importance of the message, destination, current location and speed of the vehicles; as a result, it avoids delay, congestion, unnecessary duplications and low delivery rate.

Vehicular networks are a promising application of mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we introduce an efficient broadcast technique, called CB-S (Cell Broadcast for Streets), for vehicular networks with occlusions such as skyscrapers. In this environment, the road network is fragmented into cells such that nodes in a cell can communicate with any node within a two cell distance. Each mobile node is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit and a map of the cells. The cell map has information about the cells including their identifier and the coordinates of the upper-right and lower-left corner of each cell. CB-S has the following desirable property. Broadcast of a message is performed by rebroadcasting the message from every other cell in the terrain. This characteristic allows CB-S to achieve an efficient performance. Our simulation results indicate that messages always reach all nodes in the wireless network. This perfect coverage is achieved with minimal overhead. That is, CB-S uses a low number of nodes to disseminate the data packets as quickly as probabilistically possible. This efficiency gives it the advantage of low delay. To show these benefits, we give simulations results to compare CB-S with four other broadcast techniques. In practice, CB-S can be used for information dissemination, or to reduce the high cost of destination discovery in routing protocols. By also specify the radius of affected zone, CB-S is also more efficient when broadcast to a subset of the nodes is desirable.

최근 차량 통신망에서는 차량 안전 및 도로 교통 서비스에 더하여, 차량 통신 사용자들에게 email, ftp, 비디오 스트리밍 등 인터넷을 통한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 기술을 개발 중이다. 특히 차량 통신망의 특수성을 고려한 IP 이동성 제공 기술의 연구가 필요하다. 차량의 이동성 관리를 위해 Proxy Mobile IPv6(PMIPv6)를 차량 통신망에 적용할 경우, 차량의 빠른 이동 속도로 위치 등록에 따른 신호비용이 증가되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 특히 차량 밀도가 높은 도로에서 많은 차량들이 고속으로 이동을 하게 되면 위치등록에 따른 신호비용이 증가하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 이동하는 다수의 차량들을 한 번에 LMA(Local Mobility Anchor)에 등록할 수 있는 방법을 제안하여 신호 비용을 줄이는 것을 목표로 한다. 수치 분석 및 시뮬레이션을 통해, 제안방안이 기존의 PMIPv6를 적용한 방식보다 신호 비용 면에서 효율적인 것을 확인하였다.

그리디 포워딩(Greedy forwarding) 기법은 주변 노드들의 정보만을 이용해 패킷을 전달하는 기법으로, 전체 라우팅 경로를 유지해야 하는 다른 애드혹 라우팅 프로토콜에 비해 경로 유지가 쉽기 때문에 토폴로지가 자주 변하는 차량간 애드혹 네트워크에 적합한 방식이라고 할 수 있다. 그리디 포워딩 기법에서는 주기적인 비콘 전송을 통해 이웃 노드들의 위치를 획득하고, 패킷을 전달할 때 수신 노드와 가장 가까운 노드를 전달 노드로 선택한다. 이러한 그리디 포워딩의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 주요 원인 중 하나는 이웃 노드가 원래의 위치에서 벗어나면서 발생하는 링크 단절 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 그리디 포워딩 기반의 라우팅 프로토콜인 Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) 프로토콜을 바탕으로 링크 단절 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 이웃 노드의 위치와 비콘을 수신한 시간 등을 고려해 효율적이면서도 안정적인 라우팅 경로를 찾는 것을 목표로 한다. 다양한 환경에서의 실험 결과를 통해 우리는 제안하는 알고리즘이 GPSR과 기존의 연구 결과들에 비해 더 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

Although many revocable group signature schemes has been proposed in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), the existing schemes suffer from long computation delay on revocation that they cannot adapt to the dynamic VANETs. Based on Chinese remainder theorem and Schnorr signature algorithm, this paper proposes an efficient revocable group signature scheme in VANETs. In the proposed scheme, it only need to update the corresponding group public key when a member quits the group, and in the meanwhile the key pairs of unchanged group members are not influenced. Furthermore, this scheme can achieve privacy protection by making use of blind certificates. Before joining to the VANETs, users register at local trusted agencies (LTAs) with their ID cards to obtain blind certificates. The blind certificate will be submitted to road-side units (RSUs) to verify the legality of users. Thus, the real identities of users can be protected. In addition, if there is a dispute, users can combine to submit open applications to RSUs against a disputed member. And LTAs can determine the real identity of the disputed member. Moreover, since the key pairs employed by a user are different in different groups, attackers are not able to track the movement of users with the obtained public keys in a group. Furthermore, performance analysis shows that proposed scheme has less computation cost than existing schemes.

Distributing a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) quickly to all vehicles in the system requires a very large number of road side units (RSUs) to be deployed. In reality, initial deployment stage of vehicle networks would be characterized by limited infrastructure as a result in very limited vehicle to infrastructure communication. However, every vehicle wants the most recent CRLs to protect itself from malicious users and malfunctioning equipments, as well as to increase the overall security of the vehicle networks. To address this challenge, we design and implement a nomadic device based CRL acquisition method using nomadic device's communication capability with cellular networks. When a vehicle could not directly communicate with nearby RSUs, the nomadic device acts as a security mediator to perform vehicle's security functions continuously through cellular networks. Therefore, even if RSUs are not deployed or sparsely deployed, vehicle's security threats could be minimized by receiving the most recent CRLs in a reasonable time.

In this paper, we consider an infrastructure-vehicle-vehicle (I2V2V) based Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), where one base station multicasts data to d vehicular users with the assistance of r vehicular users. A Distributed Luby Transform (DLT) codes based transmission scheme is proposed over lossy VANETs to reduce transmission latency. Furthermore, focusing on the degree distribution of DLT codes, a Modified Deconvolved Soliton Distribution (MDSD) is designed to further reduce the transmission latency and improve the transmission reliability. We investigate the network behavior of the transmission scheme with MDSD, called MDLT based scheme. Closed-form expressions of the transmission latency of the proposed schemes are derived. Performance simulation results show that DLT based scheme can reduce transmission latency significantly compared with traditional Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) and Luby Transform (LT) codes based schemes. In contrast to DLT based scheme, the MDLT based scheme can further reduce transmission latency and improve FER performance substantially, when both the source-to-relay and relay-to-sink channels are erasure channels.

VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks)은 차량 간, 차량과 인프라 간의 네트워크이다. 높은 이동성, 이동 제한, 장애물에 의한 신호 방해와 같은 VANET 고유의 특성은 안정적인 VANET 서비스 제공을 어렵게 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 기존 버스 기반 클러스터링을 개선한, 차량 종류 기반 우선순위 클러스터 방법을 제시한다. 제안 알고리즘은 차량 종류, 예상 통신 수명, 주변 노드 링크 차수를 바탕으로 우선순위, 링크 품질, 연결성을 평가해 클러스터를 구성한다. 차량의 종류를 바탕으로 미리 결정된 우선순위를 활용함으로써 클러스터 헤드 선택을 단순화하고 클러스터 커버리지를 높이고자 한다. 제안 알고리즘은 커넥티드카 환경에서 안정적인 서비스를 제공하는데 기여함으로써 다양한 서비스 활성화의 기반이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Multihop data delivery in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) suffers from the fact that vehicles are highly mobile and inter-vehicle links are frequently disconnected. In such networks, for efficient multihop routing of road safety information (e.g. road accident and emergency message) to the area of interest, reliable communication and fast delivery with minimum delay are mandatory. In this paper, we propose a multihop vehicle-to-infrastructure routing protocol named Vertex-Based Predictive Greedy Routing (VPGR), which predicts a sequence of valid vertices (or junctions) from a source vehicle to fixed infrastructure (or a roadside unit) in the area of interest and, then, forwards data to the fixed infrastructure through the sequence of vertices in urban environments. The well known predictive directional greedy routing mechanism is used for data forwarding phase in VPGR. The proposed VPGR leverages the geographic position, velocity, direction and acceleration of vehicles for both the calculation of a sequence of valid vertices and the predictive directional greedy routing. Simulation results show significant performance improvement compared to conventional routing protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay and routing overhead.
