A Novel Vehicular Information Network Architecture Based on Named Data Networking (NDN)

Abstract

Vehicular information network and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have been receiving a lot of attention in recent years. As one of the most important and promising IoT areas, a vehicular information network aims to implement a myriad of applications related to vehicles, traffic information, drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. However, intervehicular communication (IVC) in a vehicular information network is still based on the TCP/IP protocol stack which is not efficient and scalable. To address the efficiency and scalability issues of the IVC, we leverage the named data networking (NDN) paradigm where the end user only cares about the needed content and pays no attention to the actual location of the content. The NDN model is highly suitable for the IVC scenario with its hierarchical content naming scheme and flexible content retrieval and caching support. We design a novel vehicular information network architecture based on the basic communication principle of NDN. Our proposed architecture aims to improve content naming, addressing, data aggregation, and mobility for IVC in the vehicular information network. In addition, the key parameter settings of the proposed schemes are analyzed in order to help guide their actual deployment.Index Terms-Caching, Internet, Internet of Things (IoT), mobility management, named data networking (NDN), performance.

Secure and DoS‐Resilient Fragment Authentication in CCN‐Based Vehicular Networks

“…Several data naming approaches were developed for efficient data management and retrieval in CCN-based vehicular networks (e.g., [2,6,8,15]). In particular, the authors in [6] proposed a naming scheme to describe a valid spatial and temporal scope of a given content.…”

“…Due to the limitation of traditional IPbased networking in vehicular network environments, the transition to a new network paradigm is being discussed. As one of these research directions, several previous studies have proposed various possible Content-Centric Networking (CCN) architectures for V2X communication environments [1][2][3].…”

Survey: IoT Vehicular Information Network

“…For better solution NDN performs best content routing on the basis of content name.NDN does not pay any attention on the location information like IP address which are used in the current internet architecture TCP/IP. NDN consist hierarchical content naming scheme and packet routing is on the basis of name-routing [1]. This newly developing architecture of internet is proving better suited for accessing data efficiently and is scalable in distributing large-scale content.…”

“…In NDN communication is initiated by the consumer [1], [2]. Consumer sends the signaling message which is called as an Interest packet.…”

“…In vehicular information network technology, vehicles act as nodes in a network to form mobile network so that different nodes(vehicles) can communicate with each other in a network. Nodes carry out communication with each other by some wireless access or by aggregator [1]. For communication purpose nodes or vehicles should be in range of 300 meters approximately so that nodes can communicate with other nodes or routes easily.…”
