“…Recent achievements in the context of data dissemination approaches in VSNs are deeply studied in [49], where the authors distinguish three main categories based on (i) information processing, (ii) content delivery, and (iii) performance. Basically, the main idea for the design of content dissemination protocols and routing algorithms in VSNs exploits social properties and mobility behavior of human beings and vehicles.…”

“…Apart the SNA, since VSNs are a communication network, we can also consider how traditional performance metrics i.e., delivery delay, delivery ratio, and bandwidth usage, affect the behavior of VSNs [49]. As an instance, some applications like safety, traffic, and information dissemination, require a short delivery delay (i.e., time delay for a message to be received at the destination node).…”

This paper surveys recent literature on vehicular social networks that are a particular class of vehicular ad hoc networks, characterized by social aspects and features. Starting from this pillar, we investigate perspectives on next-generation vehicles under the assumption of social networking for vehicular applications (i.e., safety and entertainment applications). This paper plays a role as a starting point about socially inspired vehicles and mainly related applications, as well as communication techniques. Vehicular communications can be considered the "first social network for automobiles" since each driver can share data with other neighbors. For instance, heavy traffic is a common occurrence in some areas on the roads (e.g., at intersections, taxi loading/unloading areas, and so on); as a consequence, roads become a popular social place for vehicles to connect to each other. Human factors are then involved in vehicular ad hoc networks, not only due to the safety-related applications but also for entertainment purposes. Social characteristics and human behavior largely impact on vehicular ad hoc networks, and this arises to the vehicular social networks, which are formed when vehicles (individuals) "socialize" and share common interests. In this paper, we provide a survey on main features of vehicular social networks, from novel emerging technologies to social aspects used for mobile applications, as well as main issues and challenges. Vehicular social networks are described as decentralized opportunistic communication networks formed among vehicles. They exploit mobility aspects, and basics of traditional social networks, in order to create novel approaches of message exchange through the detection of dynamic social structures. An overview of the main state-of-the-art on safety and entertainment applications relying on social networking solutions is also provided

“…With the safety information, high data rate services can also be provided through a V2V link. In [5], the authors mentioned that it is necessary to restore the contents in a vehicle for vehicular social networks, which is expected to be a new trend in wireless networking. This means that it may be necessary to share multimedia services among drivers and passengers in different vehicles.…”

This paper proposes an efficient interference control scheme for vehicular moving networks. The features of the proposed scheme are as follows: radio resources are separated into two resource groups to avoid interference between the cellular and vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V) links; V2V links are able to share the same radio resources for an improvement in the resource efficiency; and vehicles can adaptively adjust their transmission power according to the interference among the V2V links (based on the distributed power control (DPC) scheme derived using the network utility maximization method). The DPC scheme, which is the main feature of the proposed scheme, can improve both the reliability and data rate of a V2V link. Simulation results show that the DPC scheme improves the average signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio of V2V links by more than 4 dB, and the sum data rate of the V2V links by 15% and 137% compared with conventional schemes.

“…Furthermore, VANETs-based techniques are prone to connectivity issues due to very high mobility and low density of vehicles, especially in highway scenarios. For instance, the minimal contact duration for vehicles with 200 m of communication range at 50 km/h is only 15 s [6]. However, the speed of vehicles is much higher on highways, with an average of at least 80 km/h or higher, which reduces the contact duration significantly.…”

In recent years, many schemes have been proposed to disseminate Emergency Warning Messages (EWMs) in VANETs. However, various problems such as broadcast storm, hidden terminal and connectivity issues still persist to reduce the efficacy of these systems. In this paper, we propose a novel Social Utility-based Dissemination Scheme (SUDS) for Emergency Warning Messages in Vehicular Social Networks (VSNs). We utilize social properties of nodes such as centrality, interests and friendships to mitigate broadcast storm and hidden terminal problems. Furthermore, we employ the hybrid architecture of VSNs to solve connectivity and contact duration-related issues in sparse and high mobility environments. For this purpose, we devise a dual-strategy-based mechanism, where vehicles communicate with each other in a distributed or centralized manner according to the required situation. In order to evaluate the performance of proposed scheme, we have conducted extensive experiments for a highway scenario under varying vehicular density, vehicular speed and distance, in comparison with the state-of-the-art dissemination schemes. Simulation results have demonstrated the superiority of SUDS over the compared protocols in terms of delivery ratio, transmission delay and total number of transmissions. We have also demonstrated the positive effects of hybrid architecture of VSNs on various network parameters.
