Abstract:
This tutorial covers the most recent progress in Inter-Vehicular Communication. In a first part, we investigate the requirements on IVC ranging from traffic information systems to safety applications with real-time communication constraints. Typical IVC approaches are introduced including fully distributed as well as infrastructure-based, and centralized 3G/4G solutions. Emphasis is laid on the most recent standardization activities in the DSRC/WAVE context. We continue to discuss relevant protocols and communication principles to provide detailed information on which communication methods can be applied and how IVC protocols are developed. We study ad hoc routing approaches and their limitations to cover wide areas as well as recent geo-routing and broadcast-based data dissemination techniques. The main focus, however, will be on recently developed beaconing approaches that can easily be built upon the IEEE 802.11p protocol standard. The second part of the tutorial will focus on Secure IVC. Relying on broadcast transmissions, IVC solutions are exposed to multiple threats. Attacks are not easily prevented because of the ephemeral nature of IVC links and the constant movement of vehicles, as well as by the stringent timing requirements of IVC applications. We discuss the vulnerabilities of IVC solutions in terms of identity management, message authentication/protection/consistency, privacy protection and in-vehicle security. This overview will provide attendees with the state of the art as well as the open challenges in the field of secure IVC.
