5G communications have become an enabler for the creation of new and more complex networking scenarios, bringing together different vertical ecosystems. Such behavior has been fostered by the network function virtualization (NFV) concept, where the orchestration and virtualization capabilities allow the possibility of dynamically supplying network resources according to its needs. Nevertheless, the integration and performance of heterogeneous network environments, each one supported by a different provider, and with specific characteristics and requirements, in a single NFV framework is not straightforward. In this work we propose an NFV-based framework capable of supporting the flexible, cost-effective deployment of vertical services, through the integration of two distinguished mobile environments and their networks: small sized unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs), supporting a flying ad hoc network (FANET) and vehicles, promoting a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). In this context, a use case involving the public safety vertical will be used as an illustrative example to showcase the potential of this framework. This work also includes the technical implementation details of the framework proposed, allowing to analyse and discuss the delays on the network services deployment process. The results show that the deployment times can be significantly reduced through a distributed VNF configuration function based on the publish–subscribe model.

Recently, UAVs (unmanned air vehicles) have been developed with high performance, and hence, the range of system utilizing UAVs has also been widening. UAVs are even considered as connected mobile sensors and are claimed to be the future of IoT (Internet of Things). UAVs’ mission fulfillment is relying on the efficiency and performance of communication in a FANET (Flying Ad hoc NETwork) environment where UAVs communicate with each other through an ad hoc network without infrastructure. Especially, for mission-critical applications such as disaster rescue operations, reliable and on-time transmission of rescue information is very critical. To develop the reliable FANETs, a realistic network simulation platform for UAV communication has become an important role. Motivated by this observation, this paper first presents a study on realistic FANET environment simulation platform. On top of the proposed platform, we also design a stable UAV communication protocol with high packet delivery and bounded end-to-end communication delay.


Incessantly a self configuring network for mobile devices known as Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) are associated wirelessly .In significant networks, this design might perhaps enforce increased computational costs owing to the costly credentials chaining overheads that would not adapt for ad-hoc applications with increased nodes. Here a survey is carried out to express a view on the secure and authentic MANET systems. The literature reviewed is on different and diverse techniques of related to MANET systems. Reviews of 65 papers is presented and stated the significant analysis. At first the analysis depicts various attacks that are contributed in different papers. Subsequently ,various measures like security, cost, simulation time etc are also analyzed. It analyses the encryption method also that is exploited in each paper. This paper further gives an insight regarding the tools adapted ,chronological review and performance achievements in each case. At the end the review extended for the different research issues to investigate further research on secure and authentic MANET system


Vehicular Ad-hoc network a subclass of Mobile Ad-hoc network with various features providing Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication, Vehicle-to-RSU communication, Vehicle-to-Trusted Authority Communication. VANET is gaining higher attention now days both in industry and academic area and has become a trending research topic for research but still a lot of improvements is required in this area. Security of data is one of the major challenge in VANET. Encryption of data with the help of various encryption algorithms came up as solution for securing communication in VANET. But existing encryption algorithms used to secure VANET’s are complex due to which data are not delivered on time and face a lot of problems like privacy of data ,non-repudiation and cost (i.e. communication cost, computational cost).In our proposed scheme we use a hybrid approach, which contain ECC algorithm( asymmetric algorithm).ECC algorithm is used for encryption of personal details (i.e. Speed, location, device address) and AES algorithm (symmetric algorithm ) is used for encryption for safety messages along with output of ECC algorithm. The objective of this hybrid approach is to perform double encryption on personal details for more privacy of personal data (using ECC and AES algorithm) and single encryption on safety messages (using AES algorithm) so safety messages are delivered on time and without any delay.
