In vehicular ad hoc networks, uncooperative behaviors will impact the reliability of comfort applications, as well as drivers’ decisions, and even invoke serious traffic accidents. In this paper, we propose a novel game incentive scheme to stimulate cooperation among vehicle nodes, consider selfish nodes’ expectations to future payoff and their long-term desires for profit, and show analytically the three incentive-compatible conditions under which selfish nodes will be deterred from cheating by the subsequent punishments. We also discuss the impact on selfish nodes’ behavior, which is caused by their willingness for future collaboration, the parameter values of punishment mechanism and the variation of network load. Simulation results show that, the increase of network load and the deterioration of node’s future profit expectation will motivate nodes toward self-interested action, but our scheme can neutralize this tendency by the careful configuration of punishment parameters, and have favorable incentive effect.

In vehicular ad hoc networks, vehicle-to-vehicle–based broadcast can fast disseminate safety messages between vehicles within the whole network and hence expand drivers perception vision, which will reduce the accident probability and ensure the transportation reliability. As for fixed-period single-hop broadcast protocol, disseminating safety messages frequently can cause excessive network load. However, increasing period purely does not guarantee the real-time performance. In addition, exiting adaptive-period single-hop broadcast protocols also have limitations without considering synthetically various impact factors. Thus, how to design a single-hop broadcast protocol that can dynamically adjust the broadcast period according to the actual road condition is a pressing issue. A Fuzzy Logic Based Adaptive-period Single-hop Broadcast Protocol in vehicular ad hoc networks is designed in this article, which provides a new solution for the dissemination of period safety messages. In this article, the impact of various factors (such as the number of one-hop neighbor nodes, vehicle speed, received signal strength index, and visibility) on the single-hop broadcast period has been analyzed. In view of each impact factor, we design corresponding membership function and fuzzy rules according to the specific scenarios and parameters. It realizes the adaptive changes of period safety messages broadcast period through the simulation of the proposed fuzzy logic inference system. Finally, we verify the performance of the Fuzzy Logic Based Adaptive-period Single-hop Broadcast Protocol in a bidirectional four-lane highway scenario. Simulation results show that the proposed Fuzzy Logic Based Adaptive-period Single-hop Broadcast Protocol has obvious advantages in terms of network load ratio, average one-hop delay, and delivery ratio.

The advent of flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) has opened an opportunity to create new added-value services. Even though it is clear that these networks share common features with its predecessors, e.g., with mobile ad hoc networks and with vehicular ad hoc networks, there are several unique characteristics that make FANETs different. These distinctive features impose a series of guidelines to be considered for its successful deployment. Particularly, the use of FANETs for telecommunication services presents demanding challenges in terms of quality of service, energy efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. The proper use of models in research activities will undoubtedly assist to solve those challenges. Therefore, in this paper, we review mobility, positioning, and propagation models proposed for FANETs in the related scientific literature. A common limitation that affects these three topics is the lack of studies evaluating the influence that the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) may have in the on-board/embedded communication devices, usually just assuming isotropic or omnidirectional radiation patterns. For this reason, we also investigate in this work the radiation pattern of an 802.11 n/ac (WiFi) device embedded in a UAV working on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Our findings show that the impact of the UAV is not negligible, representing up to a 10 dB drop for some angles of the communication links.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are rapidly gaining attention due to the diversity of services that they can potentially offer. However, VANET communication is vulnerable to numerous security threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Dealing with these attacks in VANET is a challenging problem. Most of the existing DDoS detection techniques suffer from poor accuracy and high computational overhead. To cope with these problems, we present a novel Multivariant Stream Analysis (MVSA) approach. The proposed MVSA approach maintains the multiple stages for detection DDoS attack in network. The Multivariant Stream Analysis gives unique result based on the Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication through Road Side Unit. The approach observes the traffic in different situations and time frames and maintains different rules for various traffic classes in various time windows. The performance of the MVSA is evaluated using an NS2 simulator. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the MVSA regarding detection accuracy and reducing the impact on VANET communication.

Some Inherent Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) characteristics such as intermittent connectivity, highly dynamic topology, and hard delay constraints, make data communication a challenging task in these networks. Due to such peculiarities, in this paper we study the impact of using vehicles predicted locations as a metric for data communication in VANETs. This paper deals with PBERR (Parameter Based Efficient Reliable Routing) for VANETs, which is a multilevel routing algorithm. The focus of this algorithm is 100% data transmission from end to end with no loss or drop of data packets by selecting the reliable path. The proposed algorithm will use the data of the digital maps to limit the scope of message exchanges in the shortest path for vehicles between source and destination. Our results clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed solution in different scenarios, especially in terms of Network throughput, Energy consumption and Average delay.

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANets), a precise localization system is a crucial factor for several critical safety applications. The global positioning system (GPS) is commonly used to determine the vehicles’ position estimation. However, it has unwanted errors yet that can be worse in some areas, such as urban street canyons and indoor parking lots, making it inaccurate for most critical safety applications. In this work, we present a new position estimation method called cooperative vehicle localization improvement using distance information (CoVaLID), which improves GPS positions of nearby vehicles and minimize their errors through an extended Kalman filter to execute Data Fusion using GPS and distance information. Our solution also uses distance information to assess the position accuracy related to three different aspects: the number of vehicles, vehicle trajectory, and distance information error. For that purpose, we use a weighted average method to put more confidence in distance information given by neighbors closer to the target. We implement and evaluate the performance of CoVaLID using real-world data, as well as discuss the impact of different distance sensors in our proposed solution. Our results clearly show that CoVaLID is capable of reducing the GPS error by 63%, and 53% when compared to the state-of-the-art VANet location improve (VLOCI) algorithm.
