Computational Intelligence Inspired Data Delivery for Vehicle-to-Roadside Communications
We propose a vehicle-to-roadside communication protocol based on distributed clustering where a coalitional game approach is used to stimulate the vehicles to join a cluster, and a fuzzy logic algorithm is employed to generate stable clusters by considering multiple metrics of vehicle velocity, moving pattern, and signal qualities between vehicles. A reinforcement learning algorithm with game theory based reward allocation is employed to guide each vehicle to select the route that can maximize the whole network performance. The protocol is integrated with a multi-hop data delivery virtualization scheme that works on the top of the transport layer and provides high performance for multi-hop end-to-end data transmissions. We conduct realistic computer simulations to show the performance advantage of the protocol over other approaches
Secure and robust multi-constrained QoS aware routing algorithm for VANETs
Secure QoS routing algorithms are a fundamental part of wireless networks that aim to provide services with QoS and security guarantees. In Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), vehicles perform routing functions, and at the same time act as end-systems thus routing control messages are transmitted unprotected over wireless channels. The QoS of the entire network could be degraded by an attack on the routing process, and manipulation of the routing control messages. In this paper, we propose a novel secure and reliable multi-constrained QoS aware routing algorithm for VANETs. We employ the Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) technique to compute feasible routes in VANETs subject to multiple QoS constraints determined by the data traffic type. Moreover, we extend the VANET-oriented Evolving Graph (VoEG) model to perform plausibility checks on the exchanged routing control messages among vehicles. Simulation results show that the QoS can be guaranteed while applying security mechanisms to ensure a reliable and robust routing service
Design and Analysis of An Improved AODV Protocol Based on Clustering Approach for Internet of Vehicles (AODV-CD)
The Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) has become a vital research area in order to enhance passenger and road safety, increasing traffic efficiency and enhanced reliable connectivity. In this regard, for monitoring and controlling the communication between IoVs, routing protocols are deployed. Frequent changes that occur in the topology often leads to major challenges in IoVs, such as dynamic topology changes, shortest routing paths and also scalability. One of the best solutions for such challenges is “clustering”. This study focuses on IoVs’ stability and to create an efficient routing protocol in dynamic environment. In this context, we proposed a novel algorithm called Cluster-based enhanced AODV for IoVs (AODV-CD) to achieve stable and efficient clustering for simplifying routing and ensuring quality of service (QoS). Our proposed protocol enhances the overall network throughput and delivery ratio, with less routing load and less delay compared to AODV. Thus, extensive simulations are carried out in SUMO and NS2 for evaluating the efficiency of the AODV-CD that is superior to the classic AODV and other recent modified AODV algorithms.

Secure Authentication Mechanism for Cluster based Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET): A Survey
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) play a crucial role in Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) by facilitating communication between vehicles and
infrastructure. This communication aims to enhance road safety, improve traffic
efficiency, and enhance passenger comfort. The secure and reliable exchange of
information is paramount to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data,
while the authentication of vehicles and messages is essential to prevent
unauthorized access and malicious activities. This survey paper presents a
comprehensive analysis of existing authentication mechanisms proposed for
cluster-based VANETs. The strengths, weaknesses, and suitability of these
mechanisms for various scenarios are carefully examined. Additionally, the
integration of secure key management techniques is discussed to enhance the
overall authentication process. Cluster-based VANETs are formed by dividing the
network into smaller groups or clusters, with designated cluster heads
comprising one or more vehicles. Furthermore, this paper identifies gaps in the
existing literature through an exploration of previous surveys. Several schemes
based on different methods are critically evaluated, considering factors such
as throughput, detection rate, security, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end
delay. To provide optimal solutions for authentication in cluster-based VANETs,
this paper highlights AI- and ML-based routing-based schemes. These approaches
leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to enhance
authentication within the cluster-based VANET network. Finally, this paper
explores the open research challenges that exist in the realm of authentication
for cluster-based Vehicular Adhoc Networks, shedding light on areas that
require further investigation and development
