Content dissemination in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) has the potential to enable a myr- iad of applications, ranging from advertising, traffic and emergency warnings to infotainment. This variety in applications and services calls for mechanisms able to optimize content storing, retrieval and forwarding among vehicles, without jeopardizing network resources. Content Centric Networking (CCN), takes advantage of inherent content redundancy in the network in order to decrease the utilization of network resources, improve response time and content availability, coping efficiently with some of the effects of mobility. Floating Content (FC), on the other hand, holds potential to implement efficiently a large amount of vehicular applications thanks to its property of geographic content replication, while Software Defined Networking (SDN), is an attractive solution for the lack of flexibility and dynamic programmability that characterizes current VANET architectures. By implementing a logical centralization of the network, SDN enables dynamic and efficient management of network resources.In this paper, for a few reference scenarios, we illustrate how approaches that combine CCN, FC and SDN enable an innovative adaptive VANET architecture able to efficiently accommodate to intermittent connectivity, fluctuating node density and mobility patterns on one side and application performance and network resources on the other side, aiming to achieve high QoS. For each scenario, we highlight the main open research challenges, and we describe possible solutions to improve content dissemination and reduce replication without affecting content availability.

“…In this way, SDN minimizes service latency and improves user experience, while meeting the frequent and variable service demands of citizens and drivers. For instance, if a vehicle A is out of the coverage range of the RSU, but can get the content service from another neighbor vehicle B, which is currently within the RSU coverage range, the RSUC could allocate more resources to vehicle B to allow content delivery to vehicle A in an Information Centric Networking (ICN) fashion [14]. Similarly, an SDN controller can manage the number of data flows per RSU, making sure each flow is served according to the expected QoS [10].…”

“…Obviously, caching drastically reduces the delay for content discovery, retrieval and delivery in VANETs by providing multiple sources for the content. For instance, Soua et al [14] propose using the RSUC and taking advantage of its global view of the network to identify the most popular content, according to a threshold, and the influential vehicles in which to cache such content. Alternatively, a push-and-pull approach for delivering content, based on content type, and on the number of users interested in it, namely Type-Based Content Distribution (TBCD), is proposed by Cao et al [16].…”

“…The addition of an SDN controller to the infrastructure can aid the dissemination of parking availability in a given area through V2I/V2V communications or using communications between peers, as achieved with the Floating Content approach [14,22,23,24]. Floating Content (FC) is an opportunistic communication strategy that allows messages to be disseminated in a determined geographical area in a distributed fashion.…”

The demand for safe and secure journeys over roads and highways has been growing at a tremendous pace over recent decades. At the same time, the smart city paradigm has emerged to improve citizens’ quality of life by developing the smart mobility concept. Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are widely recognized to be instrumental in realizing such concept, by enabling appealing safety and infotainment services. Such networks come with their own set of challenges, which range from managing high node mobility to securing data and user privacy. The Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm has been identified as a suitable solution for dealing with the dynamic network environment, the increased number of connected devices, and the heterogeneity of applications. While some preliminary investigations have been already conducted to check the applicability of the SDN paradigm to VANETs, and its presumed benefits for managing resources and mobility, it is still unclear what impact SDN will have on security and privacy. Security is a relevant issue in VANETs, because of the impact that threats can have on drivers’ behavior and quality of life. This paper opens a discussion on the security threats that future SDN-enabled VANETs will have to face, and investigates how SDN could be beneficial in building new countermeasures. The analysis is conducted in real use cases (smart parking, smart grid of electric vehicles, platooning, and emergency services), which are expected to be among the vehicular applications that will most benefit from introducing an SDN architecture.

Summary We propose in this paper a Hybrid Software‐Defined Networking‐based Geographical Routing Protocol (HSDN‐GRA) with a clustering approach. It takes into account three different criteria to select the best relay to send data: (1) the contact duration between vehicles, (2) the available load of each vehicle, (3) and the log of encountered communication errors embedded in each cluster head. The multi‐criteria strategy allows the selection of the most reliable vehicles by avoiding communication problems and ensuring connection availability. Once the hybrid control plane has found out the next eligible neighbor, the data plane will be in charge of dividing and sending data. To validate our approach, HSDN‐GRA has been modeled and implemented in JADE, a multi‐agent platform, to be compared to other multi‐agent based protocols. Simulation results show that HSDN‐GRA achieves good performance with respect to the average routing overhead, the packet drop rate, and the throughput.
