Significant efforts have been devoted to date to the congestion control problem in vehicular networks. The solutions proposed so far have been designed to adapt the communication parameters to reduce and control the channel load. A totally different approach would be the compression of the data generated by each vehicle. This paper proposes and explores for the first time the use of data compression to reduce the channel load in vehicular networks. By compressing and decompressing V2X messages, the channel load generated could be reduced, thereby decreasing the interference and packet loses due to collisions. We apply this idea in this study to CAMs using existing data compression tools to have a first estimate of the compression gain that could be achieved, and the time needed to compress and decompress. The results obtained show that the CAM length could be reduced by up to around 14%, which is a non-negligible percentage given the relevance of the congestion control problem. The data compression and decompression times obtained demonstrate its potential for its integration in V2X devices. The results obtained motivate to more deeply investigate the compression of V2X messages in vehicular networks.

TCP protocol optimized for the general Internet environment can fail to maximally realize its potential in the in-vehicular network environment such as the automotive Ethernet. In this paper, we demonstrate that a throughput pathology can develop in the TCP communication between two ECUs that are typically lower-speed machines. We find that it stems from how the processing power is divided between the TCP kernel packet processing and the sending application at the TCP sender side. Moreover, once it sets in, it persistently decreases the TCP throughput by few tens of megabits per second (Mbps) over an extended period of time. Through kernel profiling and TCP code analysis, we prescribe a remedy that solves the pathology and enables ECUs to fully materialize the maximum throughput.

The Security Credential Management System (SCMS) has been proposed to provide a trust framework that ensures integrity, authenticity, and unlinkability of DSRC messages by issuing pseudonyms with implicit certificates. Nevertheless, validating the integrity and authenticity of a message at an On-Board Unit (OBU) incurs processing delays of about 22ms. Given that Basic Safety Messages (BSMs) are emitted by every vehicle at a rate of 10Hz creates many messages to be validated by an ego vehicle under heavy vehicular traffic. Such traffic loads may create delays in the processing of safety critical messages. In order to avoid such delays, we propose a message processing algorithm that provides a 3 level processing priority based on the immediate neighborhood of an ego vehicle. We show that our algorithm performs well under increasing vehicular traffic loads on realistic highway scenarios measured with respect to message deadline miss ratios and accumulating unprocessed message queue lengths. Further, we propose extending SCMS with cross certification capabilities in order to facilitate seamless certificate validation across administrative boundaries with individualized SCMS trust roots.

The objective of this article is to extend the range of Ambient Backscattering Communications (ABC). The ABC technology is a key enabling technologies for Internet of Things (IoT) wireless communications. A rural open area towards Hanko, Finland is considered for the power budget calculations. FM radio waves are considered as the source of ambient RF waves as the FM radio waves have long communication range and the technology is readily available worldwide. The sensors are placed on a highway at an example distance of 30 km from the FM transmitter. There is a clear line of sight (LOS) connection between the FM transmitter and the sensors. The path loss is determined based on the sensor locations and the losses at the sensor occur due to diffraction and scattering. A power budget is calculated based on these aforementioned key system parameters. It is observed that there is around 44 dB of power margin available after the signal from the FM transmitter is backscattered (at the sensor) and the losses in the system are accounted for. This indicates that the receiver module is able to detect the signal as it is above the minimum reception level threshold for the system. Therefore, the radio waves are able to propagate further after the signal is backscattered at the sensor(s) utilizing the available power margin. Thus, the range of communication can be extended to a wider area.

The growing interest in connected and autonomous vehicles is expected to create significant traffic demands and impose serious challenge for currently allocated vehicular communication frequency bands such as 5.9 GHz band. Meanwhile, the wide bandwidth in 79 GHz band dedicated for automotive radar may greatly support such traffic demand if a joint automotive radar and communication system is deployed. In this demo, we present a preliminary proof of concept for a joint automotive radar and communication system based on commercial off-the-shelf automotive radars. In particular, the system modulates data using frequency shift keying (FSK) upon widely adopted frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) automotive radar.

Controller area network (CAN) is widely distributed as an in-vehicle communications standard. CAN with flexible data-rate (CAN FD) is defined in the ISO standards to achieve higher data rate than the legacy CAN. A number of CAN nodes are able to connect with a single transmission medium, i.e. CAN enables us to constitute cost-effective bus-topology networks. CAN puts carrier sense multiple access with collision resolution (CSMA/CR) into practice by using bit-wise arbitration based on wired logical AND in the physical layer. The prioritized message is delivered without interruption if two or more CAN nodes transmit messages at the same time thanks to the bit-wise arbitration. However, the scalability of CAN networks suffers from ringing caused by the signaling mechanism establishing the wired logical AND. We need to reduce networking materials in order to reduce the car weight, save the fuel and the cost, and develop a sustainable society by establishing more scalable CAN networks. In this paper, we show the reduced wiring technology for CAN to enhance the network scalability and the cost efficiency.

We investigate the impact of various headlight modules and corresponding vehicle types on the performance of Vehicular VLC (V-VLC). V-VLC is currently considered as a quite promising communication technology that is complementary to existing wireless radio-based systems. Being a line of sight communication system, V-VLC is suggested mainly for shorter range communication causing little interference to concurrently performed transmissions. Given the very promising results in the literature, we study the impact of realistic headlight modules and vehicle types. Based on photometric data and experimental validation, we show that there is a substantial impact on the communication performance. The different light distribution patterns result in a varying light density and, therefore, packet delivery ratio. We see our models as an important step towards turning V-VLC into a reliable communication technology.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a very promising approach that aims to improve vehicle and road safety, traffic efficiency, as well as comfortability to both drivers and passengers. Different types of applications were implemented to achieve these goals. Some of these applications require the exchanging of multiple and ordered messages as well as the existence of a stable Internet connection. However, the high node mobility of VANET seems to be one of the main stumbling blocks for adopting such applications. In this paper, we have investigated through a real experiment, how the VANET mobility imposes challenges in establishing and maintaining a long-lasting connection. In addition, we have proposed a mechanism to improve the communication efficiency over VANETs. Our solution is based on the concept of intelligent proxies that can be sent from, say, one Roadside Unit to a vehicle so that the negotiation between them can be delegated to the proxy and take place locally. Using the proxy will reduce the number of exchanged network messages among vehicles and infrastructure, overcome the intermittent and short-lived connectivity challenge of the high mobility vehicular network and, consequently, increase the communication efficacy. Also, we have presented a framework that allows such proxies to operate safely and securely.

The exchange of information between vehicles and highway infrastructure also known as vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications has been viewed as one solution to lessen some of the problems in transportation. Currently, V2I communication uses ITS band of 5.9 GHz frequency which is more susceptible to attenuation and has propagation coverage limitation. Over the past years, the use of Television white space (TVWS) has gained popularity because of its superior propagation characteristics due to its low operating frequency. In this study, V2I communications in the TVWS spectrum using the IEEE 802.11af compliant devices has been implemented at the campus of the University of San Carlos in Cebu City, Philippines and evaluated in terms of received signal strength (RSS), throughput and packet loss rate as a function of the modulation coding scheme used. The calculated path losses were modeled as log-normal shadowing and path loss exponents between 3.05 to 3.63 were obtained. At a transmit power of 20 dBm coupled with a 14.3 dBi-12-ring Yagi antenna under line of sight scenario, a 3.76 Mbps throughput was achieved at the receiver end that used a 3 dBi omnidirectional antenna. There was a 15% reduction in throughput observed in non-line of sight scenario caused by multipath propagation influenced by trees, vegetation, and buildings present between the transmitter and the receiver. However, the data obtained when V2I communication was established suggests the feasibility of utilizing TVWS for V2I communications in support of the goals of the ITS.
