<p>Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are one of the most important types of networks which are widely used in recent years. Along with all the benefits of Quality of Service (QoS) improvements, vulnerability analysis for this type of networks is an important issue. For instance, a Gray-hole attack decreases network performance. We proposed a novel solution to help to secure these networks against this vulnerability. The proposed method can detect and prevent the Gray-hole attack. Anywhere in the network, each node (vehicle) can distinguish between the Gray-hole attack and the failed link. Some topology related information helps us to detect attacks more accurately. Also, the proposed method uses the most reliable path in terms of link failure when there is no malicious node. In this paper, we used the TOPSIS method for choosing the most trusted node for routing intelligently. We validated our proposal using a simulation model in the NS-2 simulator. Simulation results show that the proposed method can prevent Gray-hole attack efficiently with low overhead.</p>

The extremely fast topology has created new requirements for the geographic routing protocol, which has been the most efficient solution for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). The frequent disconnection of links makes the choice of the next routing node extremely difficult. Hence, an efficient routing algorithm needs to deliver the appropriate path to transfer the data packets with the most relevant quality of service (QoS). In this work, the weight-aware greedy perimeter stateless (WA-GPSR) routing protocol is presented. The enhanced GPSR protocol computes the reliable communication area and selects the next forwarding vehicle based on several routing criteria. The proposal has been evaluated and compared to Maxduration-Minangle GPSR (MM-GPSR) and traditional GPSR using strict metric analysis. Our experimental results using NS-2 and VanetMobiSim, have demonstrated that WA-GPSR has the ability to enhance network performance.

Vehicular ad hoc networks is an emerging area for researchers to provide intelligent transportation system to the society. It is due to the wide area of applications of VANETs interest is developed among the people from different countries to be a part of it. Therefore many projects had been started and also presently working to implement VANETs in real world scenario. The main challenge in its implementation is to provide a secure mechanism against the various attacks and threats that have the capability to bring the network performance significantly down. In this paper to overcome different types of authentication based attacks in VANETs an ECDSA based secure routing protocol SE-AODV is proposed with security features incorporated in already existing AODV routing protocol. The performance of SE-AODV is evaluated and compared with original AODV and AODV with black hole attack (BH-AODV). The SE-AODV shows better performance with the parameters used for comparison with the variation in vehicle density, speed of vehicles and simulation time.

As an auxiliary facility, roadside units (RSUs) can well improve the shortcomings incurred by ad hoc networks and promote network performance in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). However, deploying a large number of RSUs will lead to high installation and maintenance costs. Therefore, trying to find the best locations is a key issue when deploying RSUs with the set delay and budget. In this paper, we study the delay-bounded and cost-limited RSU deployment (DBCL) problem in urban VANET. We prove it is non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard), and a binary differential evolution scheme is proposed to maximize the number of roads covered by deploying RSUs. Opposite-based learning is introduced to initialize the first generation, and a binary differential mutation operator is designed to obtain binary coding. A random variable is added to the traditional crossover operator to increase population diversity. Also, a greedy-based individual reparation and promotion algorithm is adopted to repair infeasible solutions violating given constraints, and to gain optimal feasible solutions with the compromise of given limits. Moreover, after selection, a solution promotion algorithm is executed to promote the best solution found in generation. Simulation is performed on analog trajectories sets, and results show that our proposed algorithm has a higher road coverage ratio and lower packet loss compared with other schemes.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) is an emerging network technology derived from ad-hoc networks. This paper provides the state-of-the-art of VANETs and provides optimum proposal by improving Quality of Service (QoS.) Today, wireless systems are preferred over wired systems and these are gaining popularity as it provides wireless connectivity to the users irrespective of their geographic position, VANET is one of them. VANETs are installed to minimize the risk of road accidents and to improve passenger comfort by permitting the vehicles to exchange various types of data. In this paper, the Signal Strength based Optimum Path Selection (SSOPS) based solution on how to mitigate the QoS issues that exists while using the existing methods are discussed. Moreover, the solution has been tested using NS2 software using various parameters.

Abstract A special type of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) which has frequent changes of topology and higher mobility is known as Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). In order to divide the network into groups of mobile vehicles and improve routing, data gathering, clustering is applied in VANETs. A stable clustering scheme based on adaptive multiple metric combining both the features of static and dynamic clustering methods is proposed in this work. Based on a new multiple metric method, a cluster head is selected among the cluster members which is taken from the mobility metrics such as position and time to leave the road segment, relative speed and Quality of Service metrics which includes neighborhood degree, link quality of the RSU and bandwidth. A higher QoS and cluster stability are achieved through the adaptive multiple metric. The results are simulated using NS2 and shows that this technique provides more stable cluster structured with the other methods.

The vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are specific type or a sub form of Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However the main problem which is related to this network is the Quality of Service (QoS) which mainly occurs due to rapid change topology nature in the network and lack of stability of communication. Consequently, some of the challenges that researcher focus on routing protocols for VANET. The problem which is faced by this network with these protocols is the dynamic environment in their route instability. This paper approaches the combination of Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSO) to solve the problems of Routing protocols which help to improve the Quality of service (QoS) in the network. The approach which is introduced in this paper is to make use for making the better Quality of Service (QoS) in the VANET. The simulation results in MATLAB exactly predict the overall performances regarding the proposed work in terms of the packet drop ratio, transmission delay, channel utilization, Throughput and Energy consumption under varying conditions

Monitoring of the performance of wireless network is of vital importance for both users and the service provider which should be accurate, simple and fast enough to reflect the network performance in a timely manner. The aim of this paper is to develop an approach which can infer the performance of wireless ad hoc networks based on Quality of service (QoS) parameters assessment. The developed method considers the QoS requirements of multimedia applications transmitted over these kind of networks. This approach is based on the ideas of combination of both active and passive measurement methods. This approach uses an in-service measurement method in which the QoS parameters of the actual application (user) are estimated by means of dedicated monitoring packets (probes). Afterwards, these parameters are combined to produce and assess the application’s overall QoS using the fuzzy logic assessment and based on the measured QoS parameters estimated using the probe traffic. The active scheme is used to generate monitoring probe packets which are inserted between blocks of target application packets at regular intervals. While the passive monitoring is utilized to act as a traffic meter which performs as a counter of user packets (and bytes) that belong to the application (user) traffic flow that is subjected to monitoring. After simulating the developed technique, it offered a good estimation for the delay, throughput, packet losses and the overall QoS when using different probe rates.
