We investigate the performance gains of a transmission scheme in LTE-A networks where vehicles act as relaying cooperating terminals. The advantages of vehicular relaying networks are the abundant energy and computing power, the predictable mobility patterns of vehicles, and the availability of information from positioning systems…

Efficient authentication in the vehicular networks has been studied by several researchers in the past. However, there are still several issues to be addressed like high communication/ computation overhead, security problems, etc. In this paper, we propose an Efficient Authentication Protocol (EAP) for…

Of late, Vehicular Networks (VANETs) applications is capturing major importance in the research field. Efficient dissemination becomes demanding when information explosion overloads the network. Development of an efficient event disseminating framework is necessary to support such highly dynamic, self-organizing networks. Event broker middleware provides seamless…

We are interested in delay-constrained data aggregation in delay tolerant vehicular networks, in which contact opportunities are usually scarce and thus become critical resources. Data aggregation has been recognized as an effective technique for reducing communication cost while obtaining useful aggregated information.…
