The efficiency of cooperative communication protocols to increase the reliability and range of transmission for Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is proven, but identity verification and communication security are required to be ensured. Though it is difficult to maintain strong network connections between vehicles because of there high mobility, with the help of cooperative communication, it is possible to increase the communication efficiency, minimise delay, packet loss, and Packet Dropping Rate (PDR). However, cooperating with unknown or unauthorized vehicles could result in information theft, privacy leakage, vulnerable to different security attacks, etc. In this paper, a blockchain based secure and privacy preserving authentication protocol is proposed for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Blockchain is utilized to store and manage the authentication information in a distributed and decentralized environment and developed on the Ethereum platform that uses a digital signature algorithm to ensure confidentiality, non-repudiation, integrity, and preserving the privacy of the IoVs. For optimized communication, transmitted services are categorized into emergency and optional services. Similarly, to optimize the performance of the authentication process, IoVs are categorized as emergency and general IoVs. The proposed cooperative protocol is validated by numerical analyses which show that the protocol successfully increases the system throughput and decreases PDR and delay. On the other hand, the authentication protocol requires minimum storage as well as generates low computational overhead that is suitable for the IoVs with limited computer resources.

The Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET) requires a suitable routing protocol to accommodate its special characteristics (e.g., high mobility, short-lived links, and fast-changing topology). There are many routing algorithms which are developed for transmitting information more quickly and cost-effective. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol which relies on Defer-Time Control Function (DTCF) to reduce the hop count, the transmission delay, and the probability of collisions during transmission. We provide an extensive analysis of DTCFs and choose the power-law model for routing protocol optimization. The function can be adjusted dynamically according to the distribution of the neighboring nodes (vehicles) of each hop. We also propose a mechanism to prevent the selected next-hop leaves the transmission range.


Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a special case of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) with two key differences which are the high and constrained mobility of its nodes. Because of this high mobility, the topology of VANET is considered so dynamic. As a reason of this highly dynamic topology, the link breakages in these networks are something common. This problem causes high data loss and delay. In order to decrease these problems, the idea of link breakage prediction has appeared to deal with this phenomenon in MANET. This idea has proved to be successful to enhance the performance of routing protocols in MANET, but till now it did not be applied to the area of VANET. In this paper the idea of link breakage prediction was used to enhance the performance of the well known Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) in VANET by applying a new mechanism which includes replacing the whole effected route (Not only the effected link). This new mechanism was able to decrease the packet loss and delay that occur in the original protocol

<p class="Default"><em>Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network</em> (VANET) merupakan pengembangan jaringan <em>wiresless</em> yang melakukan komunikasi secara <em>Inter Vehicle Communication</em> (IVC). VANET memiliki mobilitas yang tinggi untuk setiap <em>node</em> nya sehingga jaringan komunikasi jenis ini adalah jaringan yang bersifat sementara dikarenakan <em>node</em> bergerak di lintasan dengan arah dan kecepatan yang dinamis. Dengan demikian, pengiriman paket data dari <em>node</em> sumber ke <em>node</em> tujuan menggunakan VANET memerlukan beberapa teknik komunikasi. Teknik terbaru komunikasi VANET saat ini adalah menggunakan SDN (<em>Software Defined Network</em>) yang berbasis <em>geographic</em> (SDGR) sebagai <em>control</em> <em>plane</em> dalam mengontrol komunikasi <em>ad</em>-<em>hoc</em> antar <em>node</em>. Dalam membentuk topologi jaringan komunikasi, SDGR mencari nilai jalur terpendek antar <em>node</em> dan kepadatan <em>node</em> yang tinggi. Tujuan utama penelitian ini melakukan analisis konsep protokol perutean (<em>routing protocol)</em> SDGR dan dilakukan pengembangannya dengan mempertimbangkan arah rute (SDGR+R). Pada SDGR+R, penambahan basis arah rute menggunakan <em>m</em><em>ulticast</em>. Selanjutnya, dilakukan perbandingan kinerja antara SDGR dan SDGR+R. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan SDGR+R memiliki kinerja lebih baik daripada SDGR dalam hal <em>latency</em> sebesar 1.88% dan <em>packet</em> <em>delivery</em> <em>ratio </em>(PDR) sebesar 8.12%. Perancangan protokol perutean SDGR+R menambah ide pengembangan teknologi pada VANET untuk masa mendatang.</p><p class="Default"> <em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Judul2"><em>Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a wireless network developed for communication on Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC).

For dynamical changed network topology and unstable links, this paper proposes a mobility prediction-based weighted clustering algorithm for vehicular ad-hoc network with high mobility nodes. In the CH election stage, it computes vehicle’s priority through the similarity, intimacy and centrality, the vehicles with the highest priority in their neighborhoods are selected as the CHs, this scheme suitable for large scale network. NS2 simulation results show that the proposed clustering scheme improves the stability of cluster structure, prolongs the CH duration time, improves the delivery ratio.
