Cooperative communication and resource limitation are two main characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). On one hand, communication among the nodes in MANETs highly depends on the cooperation among nodes because of the limited transmission range of the nodes, and multi-hop communications are needed in most cases. On the other hand, every node in MANETs has stringent resource constraints on computations, communications, memory, and energy. These two characteristics lead to the existence of selfish nodes in MANETs, which affects the network performance in various aspects. In this paper, we quantitatively investigate the impacts of node selfishness caused by energy depletion in MANETs in terms of packet loss rate, round-trip delay, and throughput. We conducted extensive measurements on a proper simulation platform incorporating an OMNeT++ and INET Framework. Our experimental results quantitatively indicate the impact of node selfishness on the network performance in MANETs. The results also imply that it is important to evaluate the impact of node selfishness by jointly considering selfish nodes’ mobility models, densities, proportions, and combinations.

Infotainment system is meant for offering integrated services of information and entertainment to the driver to offer a better driving experience. However, the infotainment system's present state is more towards entertainment and less towards accessing real-time information propagation for avoiding the occurrences of road fatalities. In this regard, the streaming of multimedia signals would increase communication to enhance driving experiences. The infotainment system is one integral part of vehicular communication for road safety; however, it has received less attention. Existing approaches towards data transmission among vehicles are studied concerning three standard architectures. A hybrid approach is far better than the infrastructure-based and ad-hoc-based approaches. Still, there are open-end loopholes towards hybrid architectures where reliability in the data dissemination process in the presence of dynamic topology of vehicular nodes is not considered. Therefore, the proposed study introduces a novel analytical model where the vehicles' streaming services can be offered by improvising the existing hybrid architecture. With a unique inclusion of link-quality-based attributes towards making a precise decision of the vehicles' mobility, the proposed system formulates error-free links among the communicating vehicles. The simulated study outcome shows that the proposed system offers better streaming performance than existing hybrid schemes.

“…In fact, caching content in the edge nodes (e.g., RSUs) of the network can reduce the congestion of the backhaul network and the download latency, and then motivate the content downloads from moving vehicles [ 14 ]. However, the edge nodes in VANETs have limited cache space and need to pay the running cost [ 8 , 15 ]. Therefore, the optimal caching strategy developed for them is a key issue for content caching.…”

“…However, it has high complexity and the timeliness of content is ignored. Analogously, a pricing scheme based on the Stackelberg game is also proposed to model the interaction between two moving vehicles in [ 15 ], where a moving vehicle can obtain a part of the content from the BS and the remaining content from a neighboring vehicle with lowest price. However, a moving vehicle as the service provider without the required content must download the content from the BS first, which will increase the download latency of the vehicle with service request.…”

As a key technology of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have been promising to provide safety and infotainment for drivers and passengers. To support different applications about traffic safety, traffic efficiency, autonomous driving and entertainment, it is important to investigate how to effectively deliver content in VANETs. Since it takes resources such as bandwidth and power for base stations (BSs) or roadside units (RSUs) to deliver content, the optimal pricing strategy for BSs and the optimal caching incentive scheme for RSUs need to be studied. In this paper, a framework of content delivery is proposed first, where each moving vehicle can obtain small-volume content files from either the nearest BS or the nearest RSU according to the competition among them. Then, the profit models for both BSs and RSUs are established based on stochastic geometry and point processes theory. Next, a caching incentive scheme for RSUs based on Stackelberg game is proposed, where both competition sides (i.e., BSs and RSUs) can maximize their own profits. Besides, a backward introduction method is introduced to solve the Stackelberg equilibrium. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that BSs can obtain their own optimal pricing strategy for maximizing the profit as well as RSUs can obtain the optimal caching scheme with the maximum profit during the content delivery.
