A geographic opportunistic forwarding strategy for vehicular named data networking

Studies in Computational Intelligence, 616Recent advanced intelligent devices enable vehicles to retrieve information while they are traveling along a road. The store-carry-and-forward paradigm has a better performance than traditional communication due to the tolerance to intermittent connectivity in vehicular networks. Named Data Networking is an alternative to IP-based networks for data retrieval. On account of most vehicular applications taking interest in geographic location related information, this paper propose a Geographical Opportunistic Forwarding Protocol (GOFP) to support geo-tagged name based information retrieval in Vehicle Named Data Networking (V-NDN). The proposed protocol adopts the opportunistic forwarding strategy, and the position of interest and trajectories of vehicles are used in forwarding decision. Then the ONE simulator is extended to support GOFP and simulation results show that GOFP has a better performance when compared to other similar protocols in V-NDN.This work is supported in part by the Fundamental Research Funds of Jilin University, No. 450060491509 and partially supported by FCT-Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia Portugal in the scope of the project: UID/CEC/00319/2013

Recent advances in connected vehicles via information-centric networking

V2X communication technology allows vehicles to communicate with each other, infrastructures as well as other parties. It is considered as a vital role in realizing future Intelligent Transport System (ITS). On one hand V2X is facing various expectations that requested by different features of applications, On the other hand, V2X has to overcome problems caused by the natures of high mobile vehicle environment. ICN proposed as the a substitution for future Internet rely on its naming design is likely to associate with V2X well in contrast to convention TCP/IP solution. This paper viewed recent relevant literatures from which unaddressed problems are identified with discussion of possible solutions. From this work, we are positioning our future efforts to fulfil such gaps

Routing and Applications of Vehicular Named Data Networking

Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET) allows vehicles to exchange important informationamong themselves and has become a critical component for enabling smart transportation.In VANET, vehicles are more interested in content itself than from which vehicle the contentis originated. Named Data Networking (NDN) is an Internet architecture that concentrateson what the content is rather than where the content is located. We adopt NDN as theunderlying communication paradigm for VANET because it can better address a plethora ofproblems in VANET, such as frequent disconnections and fast mobility of vehicles. However,vehicular named data networking faces the problem of how to efficiently route interestpackets and data packets. To address the problem, we propose a new geographic routing strategy of applying NDNin vehicular networks with Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) support, called GeoDTN-NDN. We designed a hybrid routing mechanism for solving the flooding issue of forwardinginterest packets and the disruption problem of delivering data packets. To avoid disruptionscaused by routing packets over less-traveled roads, we develop a new progressive segmentrouting approach that takes into consideration how vehicles are distributed among differentroads, with the goal of favoring well-traveled roads. A novel criterion for determiningprogress of routing is designed to guarantee that the destination will be reached no matterwhether a temporary loop may be formed in the path. We also investigate applications of vehicular named data networking. We categorizethese applications into four types and design an NDN naming scheme for them. We proposea fog-computing based architecture to support the smart parking application, which enablesa driver to find a parking lot with available parking space and make reservation for futureparking need. Finally we describe several future research directions for vehicular nameddata networking

CODIE: Controlled Data and Interest Evaluation in Vehicular Named Data Networks

[EN] Recently, named data networking (NDN) has been proposed as a promising architecture for future Internet technologies. NDN is an extension to the content-centric network (CCN) and is expected to support various applications in vehicular communications [ vehicular NDN (VNDN)]. VNDN basically relies on naming the content rather than using end-to-end device names. In VNDN, a vehicle broadcasts an "Interest" packet for the required "content," regardless of end-to-end connectivity with servers or other vehicles and known as a "consumer." In response, a vehicle with the content replies to the Interest packet with a "Data" packet and named as a "provider." However, the simple VNDN architecture faces several challenges such as consumer/provider mobility and Interest/Data packet(s) forwarding. In VNDN, for the most part, the Data packet is sent along the reverse path of the related Interest packet. However, there is no extensive simulated reference available in the literature to support this argument. In this paper, therefore, we first analyze the propagation behavior of Interest and Data packets in the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) environment through extensive simulations. Second, we propose the "CODIE" scheme to control the Data flooding/broadcast storm in the naive VNDN. The main idea is to allow the consumer vehicle to start hop counter in Interest packet. Upon receiving this Interest by any potential provider, a data dissemination limit (DDL) value stores the number of hops and a data packet needs to travel back. Simulation results show that CODIE forwards fewer copies of data packets processed (CDPP) while achieving similar interest satisfaction rate (ISR), as compared with the naive VNDN. In addition, we also found that CODIE also minimizes the overall interest satisfaction delay (ISD), respectively.This work was supported by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, South Korea, under Grant IITP-2015-H8601-15-1002 of the Convergence Information Technology Research Center supervised by the Institute for Information and Communications Technology Promotion.

Named Data Networking in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks: State-of-the-Art and Challenges

International audienceInformation-Centric Networking (ICN) has been proposed as one of the future Internet architectures. It is poised to address the challenges faced by today's Internet that include, but not limited to, scalability, addressing, security, and privacy. Furthermore, it also aims at meeting the requirements for new emerging Internet applications. To realize ICN, Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of the recent implementations of ICN that provides a suitable communication approach due to its clean slate design and simple communication model. There are a plethora of applications realized through ICN in different domains where data is the focal point of communication. One such domain is Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) realized through Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET) where vehicles exchange information and content with each other and with the infrastructure. To date, excellent research results have been yielded in the VANET domain aiming at safe, reliable, and infotainment-rich driving experience. However, due to the dynamic topologies, host-centric model, and ephemeral nature of vehicular communication, various challenges are faced by VANET that hinder the realization of successful vehicular networks and adversely affect the data dissemination, content delivery, and user experiences. To fill these gaps, NDN has been extensively used as underlying communication paradigm for VANET. Inspired by the extensive research results in NDN-based VANET, in this paper, we provide a detailed and systematic review of NDN-driven VANET. More precisely, we investigate the role of NDN in VANET and discuss the feasibility of NDN architecture in VANET environment. Subsequently, we cover in detail, NDN-based naming, routing and forwarding, caching, mobility, and security mechanism for VANET. Furthermore, we discuss the existing standards, solutions, and simulation tools used in NDN-based VANET. Finally, we also identify open challenges and issues faced by NDN-driven VANET and highlight future research directions that should be addressed by the research community

Secure Sharing of Spatio-Temporal Data through Name-based Access Control

Named Data Networking (NDN) is proposed as a future Internet architecture, which provides name-based data publishing and fetching primitive. Compared to TCP/IP, the benefits of NDN are as follows. NDN removes the need to manage IP address; NDN provides semantically meaningful and structured names; NDN has a stateful and name-based forwarding plane; NDN supports data-centric security and in-network caching. Name-based Access Control is an access control solution proposed over NDN, which is a content-based access control by encrypting data at the time of production directly without relying on a third-party service(i.e., Cloud storage), utilizes NDN’s hierarchical naming convention to express access control policy, and enables automation of key distribution. As more and more mobile data (e.g., mobile-health data) are generated dynamically and continuously over time and space, data owners often want to share his data with others for data analysis or healthcare, etc. To protect their privacy, they may want to share a subset of data based on their requirements with time and/or space restrictions. An effective and secure access control solution is required to ensure only authorized users can access certain data with fine granularity. Inspired by Named-based Access Control scheme, we take into account the data attributes (time, location) to make access decisions. In this work, we introduce a spatio-temporal access control scheme that allows data owners to specify access control policy and limit data access to a given time interval and/or location area. Specifically, we design a hierarchically structured naming convention to express fine-grained access control policy on spatio-temporal data, werealize a publish-subscribe functionality based on PSync for real-time data stream sharing, we develop a practical spatial-temporal data access control prototype based on NDN codebase. Moreover, we run experiments using Mini-NDN to evaluate the performance of sharing historical data from storage and sharing.data in real time

Enhancing the 3GPP V2X architecture with information-centric networking

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications allow a vehicle to interact with other vehicles and with communication parties in its vicinity (e.g., road-side units, pedestrian users, etc.) with the primary goal of making the driving and traveling experience safer, smarter and more comfortable. A wide set of V2X-tailored specifications have been identified by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) with focus on the design of architecture enhancements and a flexible air interface to ensure ultra-low latency, highly reliable and high-throughput connectivity as the ultimate aim. This paper discusses the potential of leveraging Information-Centric Networking (ICN) principles in the 3GPP architecture for V2X communications. We consider Named Data Networking (NDN) as reference ICN architecture and elaborate on the specific design aspects, required changes and enhancements in the 3GPP V2X architecture to enable NDN-based data exchange as an alternative/complementary solution to traditional IP networking, which barely matches the dynamics of vehicular environments. Results are provided to showcase the performance improvements of the NDN-based proposal in disseminating content requests over the cellular network against a traditional networking solution119sem informaçãosem informaçã
