Reliable and efficient data dissemination schemein VANET: a review

Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET), identified as a mobile ad hoc network MANETs with several added constraints. Basically, in VANETs, the network is established on the fly based on the availability of vehicles on roads and supporting infrastructures along the roads, such as base stations. Vehicles and road-side infrastructures are required to provide communication facilities, particularly when enough vehicles are not available on the roads for effective communication. VANETs are crucial for providing a wide range of safety and non-safety applications to road users. However, the specific fundamental problem in VANET is the challenge of creating effective communication between two fast-moving vehicles. Therefore, message routing is an issue for many safety and non-safety of VANETs applications. The challenge in designing a robust but reliable message dissemination technique is primarily due to the stringent QoS requirements of the VANETs safety applications. This paper investigated various methods and conducted literature on an idea to develop a model for efficient and reliable message dissemination routing techniques in VANET

Secure Intelligent Vehicular Network Including Real-Time Detection of DoS Attacks in IEEE 802.11P Using Fog Computing

VANET (Vehicular ad hoc network) has a main objective to improve driver safety and traffic efficiency. Intermittent exchange of real-time safety message delivery in VANET has become an urgent concern, due to DoS (Denial of service), and smart and normal intrusions (SNI) attacks. Intermittent communication of VANET generates huge amount of data which requires typical storage and intelligence infrastructure. Fog computing (FC) plays an important role in storage, computation, and communication need. In this research, Fog computing (FC) integrates with hybrid optimization algorithms (OAs) including: Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA), Firefly algorithm (FA) and Firefly neural network, in addition to key distribution establishment (KDE), for authenticating both the network level and the node level against all attacks for trustworthiness in VANET. The proposed scheme which is also termed “Secure Intelligent Vehicular Network using fog computing” (SIVNFC) utilizes feedforward back propagation neural network (FFBP-NN). This is also termed the firefly neural, is used as a classifier to distinguish between the attacking vehicles and genuine vehicles. The proposed scheme is initially compared with the Cuckoo and FA, and the Firefly neural network to evaluate the QoS parameters such as jitter and throughput. In addition, VANET is a means whereby Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has become important for the benefit of daily lives. Therefore, real-time detection of all form attacks including hybrid DoS attacks in IEEE 802.11p, has become an urgent attention for VANET. This is due to sporadic real-time exchange of safety and road emergency message delivery in VANET. Sporadic communication in VANET has the tendency to generate enormous amount of message. This leads to the RSU (roadside unit) or the CPU (central processing unit) overutilization for computation. Therefore, it is required that efficient storage and intelligence VANET infrastructure architecture (VIA), which include trustworthiness is desired. Vehicular Cloud and Fog Computing (VFC) play an important role in efficient storage, computations, and communication need for VANET. This dissertation also utilizes VFC integration with hybrid optimization algorithms (OAs), which also possess swarm intelligence including: Cuckoo/CSA Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Firefly/Genetic Algorithm (GA), in additionally to provide Real-time Detection of DoS attacks in IEEE 802.11p, using VFC for Intelligent Vehicular network. Vehicles are moving with certain speed and the data is transmitted at 30Mbps. Firefly FFBPNN (Feed forward back propagation neural network) has been used as a classifier to also distinguish between the attacked vehicles and the genuine vehicle. The proposed scheme has also been compared with Cuckoo/CSA ABC and Firefly GA by considering Jitter, Throughput and Prediction accuracy

Coverage Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: Review and Future Directions

The coverage problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be generally defined as a measure of how effectively a network field is monitored by its sensor nodes. This problem has attracted a lot of interest over the years and as a result, many coverage protocols were proposed. In this survey, we first propose a taxonomy for classifying coverage protocols in WSNs. Then, we classify the coverage protocols into three categories (i.e. coverage aware deployment protocols, sleep scheduling protocols for flat networks, and cluster-based sleep scheduling protocols) based on the network stage where the coverage is optimized. For each category, relevant protocols are thoroughly reviewed and classified based on the adopted coverage techniques. Finally, we discuss open issues (and recommend future directions to resolve them) associated with the design of realistic coverage protocols. Issues such as realistic sensing models, realistic energy consumption models, realistic connectivity models and sensor localization are covered

A Novel Energy-Efficient Reservation System for Edge Computing in 6G Vehicular Ad Hoc Network

The roadside unit (RSU) is one of the fundamental components in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), where a vehicle communicates in infrastructure mode. The RSU has multiple functions, including the sharing of emergency messages and the updating of vehicles about the traffic situation. Deploying and managing a static RSU (sRSU) requires considerable capital and operating expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX), leading to RSUs that are sparsely distributed, continuous handovers amongst RSUs, and, more importantly, frequent RSU interruptions. At present, researchers remain focused on multiple parameters in the sRSU to improve the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication; however, in this research, the mobile RSU (mRSU), an emerging concept for sixth-generation (6G) edge computing vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), is proposed to improve the connectivity and efficiency of communication among V2I. In addition to this, the mRSU can serve as a computing resource for edge computing applications. This paper proposes a novel energy-efficient reservation technique for edge computing in 6G VANETs that provides an energy-efficient, reservation-based, cost-effective solution by introducing the concept of the mRSU. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the mRSU exhibits superior performance compared to the sRSU in multiple aspects. The mRSU surpasses the sRSU with a packet delivery ratio improvement of 7.7%, a throughput increase of 5.1%, a reduction in end-to-end delay by 4.4%, and a decrease in hop count by 8.7%. The results are generated across diverse propagation models, employing realistic urban scenarios with varying packet sizes and numbers of vehicles. However, it is important to note that the enhanced performance parameters and improved connectivity with more nodes lead to a significant increase in energy consumption by 2%
