Performance analysis for an enhanced architecture of IoV via Content-Centric Networking

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Jul 2017

TCP/IP protocol gradually exposes many shortcomings such as poor scalability and mobility. Content-Centric Networking is a new architecture which cares about the content itself rather than its source. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel IoV architecture which based on Content-Centric Networking and tests its transmission interference time, transmission delay, and throughout in network layer. The experimental results show that the novel architecture is superior to the current IoV in the communication performance.

IoV turns each participating vehicle into a mobile node and make vehicles connect to each other; hence, it creates a network with a wide range. The basic types of IoV communications could be divided into Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communications and Vehicle to Road (V2R) communications [ 2 ]. With On-board Unit (OBU) and Roadside Unit (RSU) as network nodes, IoV enables vehicles to transmit data in a single hop or multi-hop [ 3 ]. OBU is used as the network terminal node to transmit information toward other OBU and RSU. RSU which deploys along the road is the fixed node in V2R communications [ 4 ]. OBU links with local Internet service provider through RSU, so it can visit remote Internet server. Therefore, RSU plays a role of gateway in IoV. To achieve many outstanding functions such as intelligent traffic management, intelligent vehicles control, and dynamic information service, IoV needs to meet following basic communication requirements [ 5 ]: (1) relatively low communication delay, (2) sufficient transmission distance, and (3) high reliability under high-speed mobile environment. Meanwhile, the network topology of IoV is complicated and changes rapidly, the time of duration of communications link is short, and the moving range of nodes is broad [ 6 ]. The current IoV which mainly adopts IEEE WAVE protocol stack, deploys TCP/IP protocol on transport layer and network layer to be compatible with IP network [ 7, 8 ]. Compared with other wireless communication technique, WAVE already has excellent communication performances such as low transmission delay (0.0002 s), long transmission distance (1000 m), and high transmission rate (27 Mbit/s) [9]. But because of basing on IP address, WAVE could not support the mobility well. Continuously, changes in the network topology will cause frequent reallocation of IP address and make current IoV architecture not applicable to communication scenarios which focus on the content itself rather than its provenance [ 10, 11 ]. So, it is urgent to find a revolutionary solution to build a new architecture of IoV which can response to the development better [12]. Therefore, a novel architecture of IoV named CCN-IoV was firstly proposed. Compared with IP network, CCN-IoV located the content chunks of CCN in network layer, fundamentally changes the traditional end-to-end transmission mode, and improves mobile communication performance of IoV. Then, the paper develops experimental measurements for the network layer to find transmission interference time, transmission delay, and throughout under different application scenarios. Experimental results show that CCN-IoV has better communication performance. The other parts of the paper are as follows: the second section introduces CCN, the third section presents CCN-IoV in detail, the forth section evaluates the performance of CCN-IoV, and the last section is the conclusion. 2 Content-Centric Networking Aiming at the deficiency of IP network, Van Jacobson put forward Content-Centric Networking (CCN) in 2009. Different from the IP network, CCN is contentoriented, no longer focuses on interface address or host location information [ 13 ]. So, CCN fundamentally changes the IP package structure as well as addressing mode. What is more, CCN has characteristics of short transmission delay, low power consumption, and high reliability, so it can fully respond to the future development of mobile Internet [ 14 ].
