Track: IoT

Abstract

Vehicular Networks are likely to be implemented in future vehicles. Their usage can enhance road safety and enable new forms of communications such as Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications. The simulation of this type of network is the most useful method to test new techniques, algorithms, and architectures. This is basically due to the high cost of deploying such systems in real scenarios. Named Data Networking (NDN) is a new architecture that researchers have proposed recently as a promising architecture for future Internet technologies. It is expected to support various applications in vehicular communications and aims to overcome the problem of classically TCP/IP-based architecture concerning mobility, by relying on naming the content rather than using end-to-end node addresses. Indeed, the in-network caching feature in NDN makes this architecture more suitable for vehicular networks. To prove the usefulness of NDN in connected vehicles, we propose a simulation study in an urban network architecture.
