Routing And Communication Path Mapping In VANETS
Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) has quickly become an important aspect of the intelligent transport system (ITS), which is a combination of information technology, and transport works to improve efficiency and safety through data gathering and dissemination. However, transmitting data over an ad-hoc network comes with several issues such as broadcast storms, hidden terminal problems and unreliability; these greatly reduce the efficiency of the network and hence the purpose for which it was developed. We therefore propose a system of utilising information gathered externally from the node or through the various layers of the network into the access layer of the ETSI communication stack for routing to improve the overall efficiency of data delivery, reduce hidden terminals and increase reliability. We divide route into segments and design a set of metric system to select a controlling node as well as procedure for data transfer. Furthermore we propose a system for faster data delivery based on priority of data and density of nodes from route information while developing a map to show the communication situation of an area. These metrics and algorithms will be simulated in further research using the NS-3 environment to demonstrate the effectiveness
CMD: A Multi-Channel Coordination Scheme for Emergency Message Dissemination in IEEE 1609.4
In the IEEE 1609.4 legacy standard for multi-channel communications in
vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs), the control channel (CCH) is dedicated to
broadcast safety messages while the service channels (SCH's) are dedicated to
transmit infotainment service content. However, the SCH can be used as an
alternative to transmit high priority safety messages in the event that they
are invoked during the service channel interval (SCHI). This implies that there
is a need to transmit safety messages across multiple available utilized
channels to ensure that all vehicles receive the safety message. Transmission
across multiple SCH's using the legacy IEEE 1609.4 requires multiple channel
switching and therefore introduces further end-to-end delays. Given that safety
messaging is a life critical application, it is important that optimal
end-to-end delay performance is derived in multi-channel VANET scenarios to
ensure reliable safety message dissemination. To tackle this challenge, three
primary contributions are in this article: first, a channel coordinator
selection approach based on the least average separation distance (LAD) to the
vehicles that expect to tune to other SCH's and operates during the control
channel interval (CCHI) is proposed. Second, a model to determine the optimal
time intervals in which CMD operates during the CCHI is proposed. Third, a
contention back-off mechanism for safety message transmission during the SCHI
is proposed. Computer simulations and mathematical analysis show that CMD
performs better than the legacy IEEE 1609.4 and a selected state-of-the-art
multi-channel message dissemination schemes in terms of end-to-end delay and
packet reception ratio.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, 7 table
MOSAIC vision and scenarios for mobile collaborative work related to health and wellbeing
The main objective of the MOSAIC project is to accelerate innovation in Mobile Worker Support Environments by shaping future research and innovation activities in Europe. The modus operandi of MOSAIC is to develop visions and illustrative scenarios for future collaborative workspaces involving mobile and location-aware working. Analysis of the scenarios is input to the process of road mapping with the purpose of developing strategies for R&D leading to deployment of innovative mobile work technologies and applications across different domains. This paper relates to one specific domain, that of Health and Wellbeing. The focus is therefore is on mobile working environments which enable mobile collaborative working related to the domain of healthcare and wellbeing services for citizens. This paper reports the work of MOSAIC T2.2 on the vision and scenarios for mobile collaborative work related to this domain. This work was also an input to the activity of developing the MOSAIC roadmap for future research and development targeted at realization of the future Health and Wellbeing vision. The MOSAIC validation process for the Health and Wellbeing scenarios is described and one scenario – the Major Incident Scenario - is presented in detail
Developing an Efficient DMCIS with Next-Generation Wireless Networks
The impact of extreme events across the globe is extraordinary which
continues to handicap the advancement of the struggling developing societies
and threatens most of the industrialized countries in the globe. Various fields
of Information and Communication Technology have widely been used for efficient
disaster management; but only to a limited extent though, there is a tremendous
potential for increasing efficiency and effectiveness in coping with disasters
with the utilization of emerging wireless network technologies. Early warning,
response to the particular situation and proper recovery are among the main
focuses of an efficient disaster management system today. Considering these
aspects, in this paper we propose a framework for developing an efficient
Disaster Management Communications and Information System (DMCIS) which is
basically benefited by the exploitation of the emerging wireless network
technologies combined with other networking and data processing technologies.Comment: 6 page
A Secure Lightweight Approach of Node Membership Verification in Dense HDSN
In this paper, we consider a particular type of deployment scenario of a
distributed sensor network (DSN), where sensors of different types and
categories are densely deployed in the same target area. In this network, the
sensors are associated with different groups, based on their functional types
and after deployment they collaborate with one another in the same group for
doing any assigned task for that particular group. We term this sort of DSN as
a heterogeneous distributed sensor network (HDSN). Considering this scenario,
we propose a secure membership verification mechanism using one-way accumulator
(OWA) which ensures that, before collaborating for a particular task, any pair
of nodes in the same deployment group can verify each other-s legitimacy of
membership. Our scheme also supports addition and deletion of members (nodes)
in a particular group in the HDSN. Our analysis shows that, the proposed scheme
could work well in conjunction with other security mechanisms for sensor
networks and is very effective to resist any adversary-s attempt to be included
in a legitimate group in the network.Comment: 6 page
