Abstract:
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are the first practical step towards the deployment of urban ad hoc networks. WiFi enabled smart devices will provide the first platform for a field deployment of vehicular applications and protocols. As standards are established, OEM based WiFi deployments will be replaced by Dynamic Short Range Communication (DSRC) radios that comply with the upcoming IEEE802.11p standard. Early applications are likely to use simple vehicle-to-vehicle content dissemination protocols, or one-hop vehicle-to-infrastructure networking. However, multi-hop routing protocols for these vehicular networks will be feasible as the density of devices increases. These networks can be characterized as being highly mobile with frequent partitioning. A major challenge is that many existing routing protocols have difficulty discovering and maintain routes in such environments. Similarly, current transport level protocols as well as user applications are not designed for such harsh environment and a partial redesign is necessary to operate in-vehicle.
In this course we introduce the challenges and opportunities of vehicular networks in urban areas. In particular we will analyze the mobility, the propagation, the routing, and the applications in VANETS. We will also explore the close relations between Vehicular networks and opportunistic networks. http://mclab.diee.unica.it
