In this paper, a novel air-interface is presented for Fleet-Net1, a self-organizing network for inter-vehicle and vehicle-toroadsidecommunication. The air-interface is based upon the lowchip-rate version of UMTS/TDD. To adapt the cellular UMTS standard to an air-interface for ad hoc networks, changes of the physical layer, medium access control sub-layer and radio resource management are required. An overview of the required modifications is given here. Particularly, a decentralized synchronization mechanism is presented and analyzed by means of simulations. Furthermore, changes for the medium access control are explained in detail, which allow for an efficient operation in partly meshed networks and prioritization. Performance results of the overall system considering throughput and delay are derived by means of analytical evaluations and event-driven simulations. Based on realistic mobility models, it is shown that the presented solution provides a robust communication platform even in vehicular environments. The proposed air-interface is a cost-effective solution not only for inter-vehicle communication, but also for ad hoc networking in general, benefiting from the mass-market of UMTS.

In VANET, it is required one-way broadcast transmission because vehicles move at high speed and warning messages need to broadcast. our protocol employs digital signatures to authenticate nodes along the path. this prevents impersonation attacks and message modification attacks. our protocol also employs the node list to recognize intermediate nodes of the path. The node list, the time, and the nonce can prevent replay attacks.

Ships at sea cannot exchange data among them easily so far. Basically voice-oriented communication systems are the main methods, some of them utilize the HF radio systems at lower bit rates, and for higher bit rates, the Inmarsat or VSAT are adopted. None of them are used widely because of lower qualities and higher costs. There exist many technical and economical limits to have the Internet service just like on land such as the WWW service. In order to achieve the improved transmission rates of the maritime communication networks at farther sea, MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Network) is one of the most practical models. In this paper, a new routing protocol named EZR (Expansive Search Zone Routing Protocol) is proposed, which is based on SANET (Ship Ad Hoc Network) model that has some different features from MANET and VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Network). The search zone for the shortest path is firstly found by EZR. If no path is searched in the zone, the zone is expanded according to the rule of EZR. The zone-expanding and path-searching procedures are repeated until the path is found out. The performance of EZR is evaluated and compared with LAR protocol which is one of the most typical routing protocols based on geographical information. The simulated results show that EZR is much better than LAR at sea environments in terms of routing success rate, route optimality, and a single index of performance combined the previous two metrics.

Recently, a number of solutions were proposed to address the challenges and issues of vehicular networks. Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) is one of the solutions. The vehicular cloud computing is a new hybrid technology that has a remarkable impact on traffic management and road safety by instantly using vehicular resources. In this paper, we study an important vehicular cloud service, content-based delivery, that allows future vehicular cloud applications to store, share and search data totally within the cloud. We design a VCC-based system architecture for efficient sharing of vehicular contents, and propose a Hierarchical Hybrid Content Delivery scheme using Bloom Filter (H2CDBF) for efficient vehicular content delivery in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). The performance of the proposed H2CDBF is evaluated through an analytical model, and is compared to the proactive content discovery scheme, Bloom-Filter Routing (BFR).

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) enable wireless communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure to provide a safer and more efficient driving environment. However, due to VANETs wireless nature, vehicles are exposed to several security attacks when they join the network. In order to protect VANETs against misbehaviours, one of the vital security requirements is to revoke the misbehaved vehicles from the network. Some existing revocation protocols have been proposed to enhance security in VANETs. However, most of the protocols do not efficiently address revocation issues associated with group signature-based schemes. In this paper, we address the problem by constructing a revocation protocol particularly for group signatures in VANETs. We show that this protocol can be securely and efficiently solve the issue of revocation in group signature schemes. The theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate our work is secure against adversaries and achieves performance efficiency and scalability.

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) becomes more popular in industry, academia and government. However, Typical VANET is challenged by high speed mobility and insufficient spectrum resources over congested scenarios. To address those serious problems, some articles have introduced Cognitive Radio (CR) technology into VANET and formed CR-VANET. In this article, we propose an overview of CR-VANET by exploring different architectures and features. Moreover, we provide taxonomy of state-of-the-art papers in this emerging field and the key articles are well analyzed respectively. In addition, we illustrate both research and application frameworks of CR-VANET based on our works, and propose some open research issues for inspiring future work.

Location information is considered to be of prime importance in Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks (VANETs) because important decisions are made based on accurate and sound location information. Vehicles exchange their whereabouts in the form of scheduled beacon messages with their neighbors. These messages contain location, speed, time, and lane information etc. In this paper we aim at the location security in VANET and emphasize on the confidentiality and integrity of location information in case of Nonline-of-Sight (NLoS). For location confidentiality we propose a geolock-based mechanism whereas for location integrity we leverage cooperation among neighbors. In case of NLoS, the verifier vehicle asks its one-hop neighbors in an efficient way to verify the claimed location of the node on his behalf. On the basis of trust values and weightage assigned to neighbors, it is decided whether the verification is sound.

Quick and safe message transmission is an important research topic of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). Most studies assume that the periodic broadcast of beacon-frames between vehicles increases the safety of the driver. In this paper, we propose a medium access control (MAC) protocol and location-based clustering for the VANET to support reliable data transfer. In our proposal, the cluster heade (CH) manage the access and allocate the resources of the node. Our proposal uses simulation to confirm the reduction of the transmission delay and the collision rate of the signal.

Greedy protocols show good performance in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) environment in general. But they make longer routes causing by surroundings or turn out routing failures in some cases when there are many traffic signals which generate empty streets temporary, or there is no merge roads after a road divide into two roads. When a node selects the next node simply using the distance to the destination node, the longer route is made by traditional greedy protocols in some cases and sometimes the route ends up routing failure. Most of traditional greedy protocols just take into account the distance to the destination to select a next node. Each node needs to consider not only the distance to the destination node but also the direction to the destination while routing a packet because of geographical environment. The proposed routing scheme considers both of the distance and the direction for forwarding packets to make a stable route. And the protocol can configure as the surrounding environment. We evaluate the performance of the protocol using two mobility models and network simulations. Most of network performances are improved rather than in compared with traditional greedy protocols.
