1. Introduction
Vehicular networks have been focused on the driving safety, driving
efficiency, and entertainment in road networks. The Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) in the US allocated wireless channels
for Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) service in the
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Radio Service in the
5.850-5.925 GHz band (5.9 GHz band). DSRC-based wireless
communications can support vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-
infrastructure (V2I), and infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) networking.
For driving safety services based on the DSRC, IEEE has standardized
Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) standards, such as
IEEE 802.11p [IEEE-802.11p], IEEE 1609.2 [WAVE-1609.2], IEEE 1609.3
[WAVE-1609.3], and IEEE 1609.4 [WAVE-1609.4]. Note that IEEE 802.11p
has been published as IEEE 802.11 Outside the Context of a Basic
Service Set (OCB) [IEEE-802.11-OCB] in 2012. Along with these WAVE
standards, IPv6 and Mobile IP protocols (e.g., MIPv4 and MIPv6) can
be extended to vehicular networks [RFC2460][RFC6275].
This document discusses use cases, survey, and problem statements
related to IP-based vehicular networking for Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS). This document first surveys the use
cases for using V2V and V2I networking in the ITS. Second, this
document deals with some critical aspects in vehicular networking,
such as vehicular network architectures, standardization activities,
IP address autoconfiguration, routing, mobility management, DNS
naming service, service discovery, and security and privacy. For
each aspect, this document shows problem statement to analyze the gap
between the state-of-the-art techniques and requirements in IP-based
vehicular networking. Finally, this document addresses discussions
including the summary and analysis of vehicular networking aspects,
raising deployment issues in road environments.
Based on the use cases, survey, and problem statement of this
document, we can specify the requirements for vehicular networks for
the intended purposes, such as the driving safety, driving
efficiency, and entertainment. As a consequence, this will make it
possible to design a network architecture and protocols for vehicular
networking.
2. Terminology
This document uses the following definitions:
o Road-Side Unit (RSU): A node that has Dedicated Short-Range
Communications (DSRC) device for wireless communications with
vehicles and is also connected to the Internet as a router or
switch for packet forwarding. An RSU is deployed either at an
intersection or in a road segment.
o On-Board Unit (OBU): A node that has a DSRC device for wireless
communications with other OBUs and RSUs. An OBU is mounted on a
vehicle. It is assumed that a radio navigation receiver (e.g.,
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
Global Positioning System (GPS)) is included in a vehicle with an
OBU for efficient navigation.
o Vehicle Detection Loop (or Loop Detector): An inductive device
used for detecting vehicles passing or arriving at a certain
point, for instance approaching a traffic light or in motorway
traffic. The relatively crude nature of the loop's structure
means that only metal masses above a certain size are capable of
triggering the detection.
o Traffic Control Center (TCC): A node that maintains road
infrastructure information (e.g., RSUs, traffic signals, and loop
detectors), vehicular traffic statistics (e.g., average vehicle
speed and vehicle inter-arrival time per road segment), and
vehicle information (e.g., a vehicle's identifier, position,
direction, speed, and trajectory as a navigation path). TCC is
included in a vehicular cloud for vehicular networks. Example
functions of TCC include the management of evacuation routes, the
monitoring of real-time mass transit operations, and real-time
responsive traffic signal systems. Thus, TCC is the nerve center
of most freeway management sytems such that data is collected,
processed, and fused with other operational and control data, and
is also synthesized to produce "information" distributed to
stakeholders, other agencies, and traveling public. TCC is called
Traffic Management Center (TMC) in the US. TCC can communicate
with road infrastructure nodes (e.g., RSUs, traffic signals, and
loop detectors) to share measurement data and management
information by an application-layer protocol.
o WAVE: Acronym for "Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments"
3. Use Cases
This section provides use cases of V2V and V2I networking.
3.1. V2I Use Cases
The use cases of V2I networking include navigation service, fuel-
efficient speed recommendation service, and accident notification
service.
A navigation service, such as the Self-Adaptive Interactive
Navigation Tool (called SAINT) [SAINT], using V2I networking
interacts with TCC for the global road traffic optimization and can
guide individual vehicles for appropriate navigation paths in real
time. The enhanced SAINT (called SAINT+) [SAINTplus] can give the
fast moving paths for emergency vehicles (e.g., ambulance and fire
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
engine) toward accident spots while providing other vehicles with
efficient detour paths.
The emergency communication between accident vehicles (or emergency
vehicles) and TCC can be performed via either RSU or 4G-LTE networks.
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) [FirstNet] is
provided by the US government to establish, operate, and maintain an
interoperable public safety broadband network for safety and security
network services, such as emergency calls. The construction of the
nationwide FirstNet network requires each state in the US to have a
Radio Access Network (RAN) that will connect to FirstNet's network
core. The current RAN is mainly constructed by 4G-LTE, but DSRC-
based vehicular networks can be used in near future.
A pedestrian protection service, such as Safety-Aware Navigation
Application (called SANA) [SANA], using V2I networking can reduce the
collision of a pedestrian and a vehicle, which have a smartphone, in
a road network. Vehicles and pedestrians can communicate with each
other via an RSU that delivers scheduling information for wireless
communication to save the smartphones' battery.
3.2. V2V Use Cases
The use cases of V2V networking include context-aware navigation for
driving safety, cooperative adaptive cruise control in an urban
roadway, and platooning in a highway. These three techniques will be
important elements for self-driving vehicles.
Context-Aware Safety Driving (CASD) navigator [CASD] can help drivers
to drive safely by letting the drivers recognize dangerous obstacles
and situations. That is, CASD navigator displays obstables or
neighboring vehicles relevant to possible collisions in real-time
through V2V networking. CASD provides vehicles with a class-based
automatic safety action plan, which considers three situations, such
as the Line-of-Sight unsafe, Non-Line-of-Sight unsafe and safe
situations. This action plan can be performed among vehicles through
V2V networking.
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) [CA-Cuise-Control] helps
vehicles to adapt their speed autonomously through V2V communication
among vehicles according to the mobility of their predecessor and
successor vehicles in an urban roadway or a highway. CACC can help
adjacent vehicles to efficiently adjust their speed in a cascade way
through V2V networking.
Platooning [Truck-Platooning] allows a series of vehicles (e.g.,
trucks) to move together with a very short inter-distance. Trucks
can use V2V communication in addition to forward sensors in order to
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
maintain constant clearance between two consecutive vehicles at very
short gaps (from 3 meters to 10 meters). This platooning can
maximize the throughput of vehicular traffic in a highway and reduce
the gas consumption because the leading vehicle can help the
following vehicles to experience less air resistance.
4. Vehicular Network Architectures
This section surveys vehicular network architectures based on IP
along with various radio technologies, and then discusses problem
statement for a vehicular network architecture for IP-based vehicular
networking.
4.1. Existing Architectures
4.1.1. VIP-WAVE: IP in 802.11p Vehicular Networks
Cespedes et al. proposed a vehicular IP in WAVE called VIP-WAVE for
I2V and V2I networking [VIP-WAVE]. IEEE 1609.3 specified a WAVE
stack of protocols and includes IPv6 as a network layer protocol in
data plane [WAVE-1609.3]. The standard WAVE does not support
Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) of IPv6 Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) [RFC4862] due to its own efficient IP
address configuration based on a WAVE Service Advertisement (WSA)
management frame [WAVE-1609.3], seamless communications for Internet
services, and multi-hop communications between a vehicle and an
infrastructure node (e.g., RSU). To overcome these limitations of
the standard WAVE for IP-based networking, VIP-WAVE enhances the
standard WAVE by the following three schemes: (i) an efficient
mechanism for the IPv6 address assignment and DAD, (ii) on-demand IP
mobility based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), and (iii) one-hop and
two-hop communications for I2V and V2I networking.
In WAVE, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol is not recommended due
to the overhead of ND against the timely and prompt communications in
vehicular networking. By WAVE service advertisement (WAS) management
frame, an RSU can provide vehicles with IP configuration information
(e.g., IPv6 prefix, prefix length, gateway, router lifetime, and DNS
server) without using ND. However, WAVE devices may support
readdressing to provide pseudonymity, so a MAC address of a vehicle
may be changed or randomly generated. This update of the MAC address
may lead to the collision of an IPv6 address based on a MAC address,
so VIP-WAVE includes a light-weight, on-demand ND to perform DAD.
For IP-based Internet services, VIP-WAVE adopts PMIPv6 for network-
based mobility management in vehicular networks. In VIP-WAVE, RSU
plays a role of mobile anchor gateway (MAG) of PMIPv6, which performs
the detection of a vehicle as a mobile node in a PMIPv6 domain and
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
registers it into the PMIPv6 domain. For PMIPv6 operations, VIP-WAVE
requires a central node called local mobility anchor (LMA), which
assigns IPv6 prefixes to vehicles as mobile nodes and forwards data
packets to the vehicles moving in the coverage of RSUs under its
control through tunnels between MAGs and itself.
For two-hop communications between a vehicle and an RSU, VIP-WAVE
allows an intermediate vehicle between the vehicle and the RSU to
play a role of a packet relay for the vehicle. When it becomes out
of the communication range of an RSU, a vehicle searches for another
vehicle as a packet relay by sending a relay service announcement.
When it receives this relay service announcement and is within the
communication range of an RSU, another vehicle registers itself into
the RSU as a relay and notifies the relay-requester vehicle of a
relay maintenance announcement.
Thus, VIP-WAVE is a good candidate for I2V and V2I networking,
supporting an enhanced ND, handover, and two-hop communications
through a relay.
4.1.2. IPv6 Operation for WAVE
Baccelli et al. provided an analysis of the operation of IPv6 as it
has been described by the IEEE WAVE standards 1609 [IPv6-WAVE].
Although the main focus of WAVE has been the timely delivery of
safety related information, the deployment of IP-based entertainment
applications is also considered. Thus, in order to support
entertainment traffic, WAVE supports IPv6 and transport protocols
such as TCP and UDP.
In the analysis provided in [IPv6-WAVE], it is identified that the
IEEE 1609.3 standard's recommendations for IPv6 operation over WAVE
are rather minimal. Protocols on which the operation of IPv6 relies
for IP address configuration and IP-to-link-layer address translation
(e.g., IPv6 ND protocol) are not recommended in the standard.
Additionally, IPv6 implementations work under certain assumptions for
the link model that do not necessarily hold in WAVE. For instance,
some IPv6 implementations assume symmetry in the connectivity among
neighboring interfaces. However, interference and different levels
of transmission power may cause unidirectional links to appear in a
WAVE link model. Also, in an IPv6 link, it is assumed that all
interfaces which are configured with the same subnet prefix are on
the same IP link. Hence, there is a relationship between link and
prefix, besides the different scopes that are expected from the link-
local and global types of IPv6 addresses. Such a relationship does
not hold in a WAVE link model due to node mobility and highly dynamic
topology.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
Baccelli et al. concluded that the use of the standard IPv6 protocol
stack, as the IEEE 1609 family of specifications stipulate, is not
sufficient. Instead, the addressing assignment should follow
considerations for ad-hoc link models, defined in [RFC5889], which
are similar to the characteristics of the WAVE link model. In terms
of the supporting protocols for IPv6, such as ND, DHCP, or stateless
auto-configuration, which rely largely on multicast, do not operate
as expected in the case where the WAVE link model does not have the
same behavior expected for multicast IPv6 traffic due to nodes'
mobility and link variability. Additional challenges such as the
support of pseudonimity through MAC address change along with the
suitability of traditional TCP applications are discussed by the
authors since those challenges require the design of appropriate
solutions.
4.1.3. Multicast Framework for Vehicular Networks
Jemaa et al. presented a framework that enables deploying multicast
services for vehicular networks in Infrastructure-based scenarios
[VNET-Framework]. This framework deals with two phases: (i)
Initialization or bootstrapping phase that includes a geographic
multicast auto-configuration process and a group membership building
method and (ii) Multicast traffic dissemination phase that includes a
network selecting mechanism on the transmission side and a receiver-
based multicast delivery in the reception side. To this end, the
authors define a distributed mechanism that allows the vehicles to
configure a common multicast address: Geographic Multicast Address
Auto-configuration (GMAA), which allows a vehicle to configure its
own address without signaling. A vehicle may also be able to change
the multicast address to which it is subscribed when it changes its
location.
This framework suggests a network selecting approach that allows IP
and non-IP multicast data delivery on the sender side. Then, to meet
the challenges of multicast address auto-configuration, the authors
propose a distributed geographic multicast auto-addressing mechanism
for multicast groups of vehicles, and a simple multicast data
delivery scheme in hybrid networks from a server to the group of
moving vehicles. However, the GMAA study lacks simulations related
to performance assessment.
4.1.4. Joint IP Networking and Radio Architecture
Petrescu et al. defined the joint IP networking and radio
architecture for V2V and V2I communication in [Joint-IP-Networking].
The paper proposes to consider an IP topology in a similar way as a
radio link topology, in the sense that an IP subnet would correspond
to the range of 1-hop vehicular communication. The paper defines
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
three types of vehicles: Leaf Vehicle (LV), Range Extending Vehicle
(REV), and Internet Vehicle (IV). The first class corresponds to the
largest set of communicating vehicles (or network nodes within a
vehicle), while the role of the second class is to build an IP relay
between two IP-subnet and two sub-IP networks. Finally, the last
class corresponds to vehicles being connected to Internet. Based on
these three classes, the paper defines six types of IP topologies
corresponding to V2V communication between two LVs in direct range,
or two LVs over a range extending vehicle, or V2I communication again
either directly via an IV, via another vehicles being IV, or via an
REV connecting to an IV.
Consider a simplified example of a vehicular train, where LV would be
in-wagon communicating nodes, REV would be inter-wagon relays, and IV
would be one node (e.g., train head) connected to Internet. Petrescu
et al. defined the required mechanisms to build subnetworks, and
evaluated the protocol time that is required to build such networks.
Although no simulation-based evaluation is conducted, the initial
analysis shows a long initial connection overhead, which should be
alleviated once the multi-wagon remains stable. However, this
approach does not describe what would happen in the case of a dynamic
multi-hop vehicular network, where such overhead would end up being
too high for V2V/V2I IP-based vehicular applications.
One other aspect described in their paper is to join the IP-layer
relaying with radio-link channels. Their paper proposes separating
different subnetworks in different WiFi/ITS-G5 channels, which could
be advertised by the REV. Accordingly, the overall interference
could be controlled within each subnetwork. This approach is similar
to multi-channel topology management proposals in multi-hop sensor
networks, yet adapted to an IP topology.
Their paper concludes that the generally complex multi-hop IP
vehicular topology could be represented by only six different
topologies, which could be further analyzed and optimized. A prefix
dissemination protocol is proposed for one of the topologies.
4.1.5. Mobile Internet Access in FleetNet
Bechler et al. described the FleetNet project approach to integrate
Internet Access in future vehicular networks [FleetNet]. The
FleetNet paper is probably one of the first papers to address this
aspect, and in many ways, introduces concepts that will be later used
in MIPv6 or other subsequent IP mobility management schemes. The
paper describes a V2I architecture consisting of Vehicles, Internet
Gateways (IGW), Proxy, and Corresponding Nodes (CN). Considering
that vehicular networks are required to use IPv6 addresses and also
the new wireless access technology ITS-G5 (new at that time), one of
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
the challenges is to bridge the two different networks (i.e., VANET
and IPv4/IPv6 Internet). Accordingly, the paper introduces a
Fleetnet Gateway (FGW), which allows vehicles in IPv6 to access the
IPv4 Internet and to bridge two types of networks and radio access
technologies. Another challenge is to keep the active addressing and
flows while vehicles move between FGWs. Accordingly, the paper
introduces a proxy node, a hybrid MIP Home Agent, which can re-route
flows to the new FGW as well as acting as a local IPv4-IPv6 NAT.
The authors from the paper mostly observed two issues that VANET
brings into the traditional IP mobility. First, VANET vehicles must
mostly be addressed from the Internet directly, and do not
specifically have a Home Network. Accordingly, VANET vehicles
require a globally (predefined) unique IPv6 address, while an IPv6
co-located care-of address (CCoA) is a newly allocated IPv6 address
every time a vehicle would enter a new IGW radio range. Second,
VANET links are known to be unreliable and short, and the extensive
use of IP tunneling on-the-air was judged not efficient.
Accordingly, the first major architecture innovation proposed in this
paper is to re-introduce a foreign agent (FA) in MIP located at the
IGW, so that the IP-tunneling would be kept in the back-end (between
a Proxy and an IGW) and not on the air. Second, the proxy has been
extended to build an IP tunnel and be connected to the right FA/IWG
for an IP flow using a global IPv6 address.
This is a pioneer paper, which contributed to changing MIP and led to
the new IPv6 architecture currently known as Proxy-MIP and the
subsequent DMM-PMIP. Three key messages can be yet kept in mind.
First, unlike the Internet, vehicles can be more prominently directly
addressed than the Internet traffic, and do not have a Home Network
in the traditional MIP sense. Second, IP tunneling should be avoided
as much as possible over the air. Third, the protocol-based mobility
(induced by the physical mobility) must be kept hidden to both the
vehicle and the correspondent node (CN).
4.1.6. A Layered Architecture for Vehicular DTNs
Soares et al. addressed the case of delay tolerant vehicular network
[Vehicular-DTN]. For delay tolerant or disruption tolerant networks,
rather than building a complex VANET-IP multi-hop route, vehicles may
also be used to carry packets closer to the destination or directly
to the destination. The authors built the well-accepted DTN Bundle
architecture and protocol to propose a VANET extension. They
introduced three types of VANET nodes: (i) terminal nodes (requiring
data), (ii) mobile nodes (carrying data along their routes), and
(iii) relay nodes (storing data at cross-roads of mobile nodes as
data hotspot).
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
The major innovation in this paper is to propose a DTN VANET
architecture separating a Control plane and a Data plane. The
authors claimed it to be designed to allow full freedom to select the
most appropriate technology, as well as allow to use out-of-band
communication for small Control plane packets and use DTN in-band for
the Data plane. The paper then further describes the different
layers from the Control and the Data planes. One interesting aspect
is the positioning of the Bundle layer between L2 and L3, rather than
above TCP/IP as for the DTN Bundle architecture. The authors claimed
this to be required first to keep bundle aggregation/disaggregation
transparent to IP, as well as to allow bundle transmission over
multiple access technologies (described as MAC/PHY layers in the
paper).
Although DTN architectures have evolved since the paper was written,
the Vehicular-DTN paper takes a different approach to IP mobility
management. An important aspect is to separate the Control plane
from the Data plane to allow a large flexibility in a Control plane
to coordinate a heterogeneous radio access technology (RAT) Data
plane.
4.2. V2I and V2V Internetworking Problem Statement
This section provides a problem statement of a vehicular network
architecture of IPv6-based V2I and V2V networking. The main focus in
this document is one-hop networking between a vehicle and an RSU or
between two neighboring vehicles. However, this document does not
address all multi-hop networking scenarios of vehicles and RSUs.
Also, the focus is on the network layer (i.e., IPv6 protocol stack)
rather than the MAC layer and the transport layer (e.g., TCP, UDP,
and SCTP).
Figure 1 shows an architecture for V2I and V2V networking in a road
network. The two RSUs (RSU1 and RSU2) are deployed in the road
network and are connected to a Vehicular Cloud through the Internet.
TCC is connected to the Vehicular Cloud and the two vehicles
(Vehicle1 and Vehicle2) are wirelessly connected to RSU1, and the
last vehicle (Vehicle3) is wirelessly connected to RSU2. Vehicle1
can communicate with Vehicle2 via V2V communication, and Vehicle2 can
communicate with Vehicle3 via V2V communication. Vehicle1 can
communicate with Vehicle3 via RSU1 and RSU2 via V2I communication.

Figure 1: A Vehicular Network Architecture for V2I and V2V Networking
In vehicular networks, unidirectional links exist and must be
considered. The control plane must be separated from data plane.
ID/Pseudonym change requires a lightweight DAD. IP tunneling should
be avoided. The mobility information of a mobile device (e.g.,
vehicle), such as trajectory, position, speed, and direction, can be
used by the mobile device and infrastructure nodes (e.g., TCC and
RSU) for the accommodation of proactive protocols because it is
usually equipped with a GPS receiver. Vehicles can use the TCC as
its Home Network, so the TCC maintains the mobility information of
vehicles for location management. A vehicular network architecture
may be composed of three types of vehicles in Figure 1: Leaf Vehicle,
Range Extending Vehicle, and Internet Vehicle[Joint-IP-Networking].
This section also discusses the internetworking between a vehicle's
moving network and an RSU's fixed network.
4.2.1. V2I-based Internetworking
As shown in Figure 2, the vehicle's moving network and the RSU's
fixed network are self-contained networks having multiple subnets and
having an edge router for the communication with another vehicle or
RSU. The method of prefix assignment for each subnet inside the
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
vehicle's mobile network and the RSU's fixed network is out of scope
for this document. Internetworking between two internal networks via
either V2I or V2V communication requires an exchange of network
prefix and other parameters.
The network parameter discovery collects networking information for
an IP communication between a vehicle and an RSU or between two
neighboring vehicles, such as link layer, MAC layer, and IP layer
information. The link layer information includes wireless link layer
parameters, such as wireless media (e.g., IEEE 802.11 OCB, LTE D2D,
Bluetooth, and LiFi) and a transmission power level. The MAC layer
information includes the MAC address of an external network interface
for the internetworking with another vehicle or RSU. The IP layer
information includes the IP address and prefix of an external network
interface for the internetworking with another vehicle or RSU.

to enable name resolution for hosts or servers residing either in the

Figure 2 shows internetworking between the vehicle's moving network
and the RSU's fixed network. There exists an internal network
(Moving Network1) inside Vehicle1. Vehicle1 has the DNS Server

(Host3), the two routers (Router3 and Router4), and the collection of
servers (Server1 to ServerN) for various services in the road
networks, such as the emergency notification and navigation.
Vehicle1's Router1 (called mobile router) and RSU1's Router3 (called
fixed router) use 2001:DB8:1:1::/64 for an external link (e.g., DSRC)
for I2V networking.
This document addresses the internetworking between the vehicle's
moving network and the RSU's fixed network in Figure 2 and the
required enhancement of IPv6 protocol suite for the V2I networking.

In Figure 3, the prefix assignment for each subnet inside each
vehicle's mobile network is done through a prefix delegation
protocol.
Figure 3 shows internetworking between the moving networks of two
neighboring vehicles. There exists an internal network (Moving
Network1) inside Vehicle1. Vehicle1 has the DNS Server (RDNSS1), the
two hosts (Host1 and Host2), and the two routers (Router1 and
Router2). There exists another internal network (Moving Network2)
inside Vehicle2. Vehicle2 has the DNS Server (RDNSS2), the two hosts
(Host3 and Host4), and the two routers (Router3 and Router4).
Vehicle1's Router1 (called mobile router) and Vehicle2's Router3
(called mobile router) use 2001:DB8:1:1::/64 for an external link
(e.g., DSRC) for V2V networking.
This document describes the internetworking between the moving
networks of two neighboring vehicles in Figure 3 and the required
enhancement of IPv6 protocol suite for the V2V networking.
5. Standardization Activities
This section surveys standard activities for vehicular networks in
standards developing organizations.
5.1. IEEE Guide for WAVE - Architecture
IEEE 1609 is a suite of standards for Wireless Access in Vehicular
Environments (WAVE) developed in the IEEE Vehicular Technology
Society (VTS). They define an architecture and a complementary
standardized set of services and interfaces that collectively enable
secure vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
wireless communications.
IEEE 1609.0 provides a description of the WAVE system architecture
and operations (called WAVE reference model) [WAVE-1609.0]. The
reference model of a typical WAVE device includes two data plane
protocol stacks (sharing a common lower stack at the data link and
physical layers): (i) the standard Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
and (ii) the WAVE Short Message Protocol (WSMP) designed for
optimized operation in a wireless vehicular environment. WAVE Short
Messages (WSM) may be sent on any channel. IP traffic is only
allowed on service channels (SCHs), so as to offload high-volume IP
traffic from the control channel (CCH).
The Layer 2 protocol stack distinguishes between the two upper stacks
by the Ethertype field. Ethertype is a 2-octet field in the Logical
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
Link Control (LLC) header, used to identify the networking protocol
to be employed above the LLC protocol. In particular, it specifies
the use of two Ethertype values (i.e., two networking protocols),
such as IPv6 and WSMP.
Regarding the upper layers, while WAVE communications use standard
port numbers for IPv6-based protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP), they use a
Provider Service Identifier (PSID) as an identifier in the context of
WSMP.
5.2. IEEE Standard for WAVE - Networking Services
IEEE 1609.3 defines services operating at the network and transport
layers, in support of wireless connectivity among vehicle-based
devices, and between fixed roadside devices and vehicle-based devices
using the 5.9 GHz Dedicated Short-Range Communications/Wireless
Access in Vehicular Environments (DSRC/WAVE) mode [WAVE-1609.3].
WAVE Networking Services represent layer 3 (networking) and layer 4
(transport) of the OSI communications stack. The purpose is then to
provide addressing and routing services within a WAVE system,
enabling multiple stacks of upper layers above WAVE Networking
Services and multiple lower layers beneath WAVE Networking Services.
Upper layer support includes in-vehicle applications offering safety
and convenience to users.
The WAVE standards support IPv6. IPv6 was selected over IPv4 because
IPv6 is expected to be a viable protocol into the foreseeable future.
Although not described in the WAVE standards, IPv4 has been tunnelled
over IPv6 in some WAVE trials.
The document provides requirements for IPv6 configuration, in
particular for the address setting. It specifies the details of the
different service primitives, among which is the WAVE Routing
Advertisement (WRA), part of the WAVE Service Advertisement (WSA).
When present, the WRA provides information about infrastructure
internetwork connectivity, allowing receiving devices to be
configured to participate in the advertised IPv6 network. For
example, an RSU can broadcast in the WRA portion of its WSA all the
information necessary for an OBU to access an application-service
available over IPv6 through the RSU as a router. This feature
removes the need for IPv6 Router Advertisement messages, which are
based on ICMPv6.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
5.3. ETSI Intelligent Transport Systems: GeoNetwork-IPv6
ETSI published a standard specifying the transmission of IPv6 packets
over the ETSI GeoNetworking (GN) protocol [ETSI-GeoNetworking]
[ETSI-GeoNetwork-IP]. IPv6 packet transmission over GN is defined in
ETSI EN 302 636-6-1 [ETSI-GeoNetwork-IP] using a protocol adaptation
sub-layer called "GeoNetworking to IPv6 Adaptation Sub-Layer
(GN6ASL)". It enables an ITS station (ITS-S) running the GN protocol
and an IPv6-compliant protocol layer to: (i) exchange IPv6 packets
with other ITS-S; (ii) acquire globally routable IPv6 unicast
addresses and communicate with any IPv6 host located in the Internet
by having the direct connectivity to the Internet or via other relay
ITS stations; (iii) perform operations as a Mobile Router for network
mobility [RFC3963].
The document introduces three types of virtual link, the first one
providing symmetric reachability by means of stable geographically
scoped boundaries and two others that can be used when the dynamic
definition of the broadcast domain is required. The combination of
these three types of virtual link in the same station allows running
the IPv6 ND protocol including SLAAC [RFC4862] as well as
distributing other IPv6 link-local multicast traffic and, at the same
time, reaching nodes that are outside specific geographic boundaries.
The IPv6 virtual link types are provided by the GN6ASL to IPv6 in the
form of virtual network interfaces.
The document also describes how to support bridging on top of the
GN6ASL, how IPv6 packets are encapsulated in GN packets and
delivered, as well as the support of IPv6 multicast and anycast
traffic, and neighbor discovery. For latency reasons, the standard
strongly recommends to use SLAAC for the address configuration.
Finally, the document includes the required operations to support the
change of pseudonym, e.g., changing IPv6 addresses when the GN
address is changed, in order to prevent attackers from tracking the
ITS-S.
5.4. ISO Intelligent Transport Systems: IPv6 over CALM
ISO published a standard specifying the IPv6 network protocols and
services for Communications Access for Land Mobiles (CALM)
[ISO-ITS-IPv6]. These services are necessary to support the global
reachability of ITS-S, the continuous Internet connectivity for ITS-
S, and the handover functionality required to maintain such
connectivity. This functionality also allows legacy devices to
effectively use an ITS-S as an access router to connect to the
Internet. Essentially, this specification describes how IPv6 is
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
configured to support ITS-S and provides the associated management
functionality.
The requirements apply to all types of nodes implementing IPv6:
personal, vehicle, roadside, or central node. The standard defines
IPv6 functional modules that are necessary in an IPv6 ITS-S, covering
IPv6 forwarding, interface between IPv6 and lower layers (e.g., LAN
interface), mobility management, and IPv6 security. It defines the
mechanisms to be used to configure the IPv6 address for static nodes
as well as for mobile nodes, while maintaining reachability from the
Internet.
6. IP Address Autoconfiguration
This section surveys IP address autoconfiguration schemes for
vehicular networks, and then discusses problem statement for IP
addressing and address autoconfiguration for vehicular networking.
6.1. Existing Protocols for Address Autoconfiguration
6.1.1. Automatic IP Address Configuration in VANETs
Fazio et al. proposed a vehicular address configuration called VAC
for automatic IP address configuration in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
(VANET) [Address-Autoconf]. VAC uses a distributed dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP). This scheme uses a leader playing a
role of a DHCP server within a cluster having connected vehicles
within a VANET. In a connected VANET, vehicles are connected with
each other within communication range. In this VANET, VAC
dynamically elects a leader-vehicle to quickly provide vehicles with
unique IP addresses. The leader-vehicle maintains updated
information on configured addresses in its connected VANET. It aims
at the reduction of the frequency of IP address reconfiguration due
to mobility.
VAC defines "SCOPE" to be a delimited geographic area within which IP
addresses are guaranteed to be unique. When a vehicle is allocated
an IP address from a leader-vehicle with a scope, it is guaranteed to
have a unique IP address while moving within the scope of the leader-
vehicle. If it moves out of the scope of the leader vehicle, it
needs to ask for another IP address from another leader-vehicle so
that its IP address can be unique within the scope of the new leader-
vehicle. This approach may allow for less frequent change of an IP
address than the address allocation from a fixed Internet gateway.
Thus, VAC can support a feasible address autoconfiguration for V2V
scenarios, but the overhead to guarantee the uniqueness of IP
addresses is not ignorable under high-speed mobility.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
6.1.2. Using Lane/Position Information
Kato et al. proposed an IPv6 address assignment scheme using lane and
position information [Address-Assignment]. In this addressing
scheme, each lane of a road segment has a unique IPv6 prefix. When
it moves in a lane in a road segment, a vehicle autoconfigures its
IPv6 address with its MAC address and the prefix assigned to the
lane. A group of vehicles constructs a connected VANET within the
same subnet such that their IPv6 addresses have the same prefix.
Whenever it moves to another lane, a vehicle updates its IPv6 address
with the prefix corresponding to the new lane and also joins the
group corresponding to the lane.
However, this address autoconfiguration scheme may have too much
overhead when vehicles change their lanes frequently on the highway.
6.1.3. GeoSAC: Scalable Address Autoconfiguration
Baldessari et al. proposed an IPv6 scalable address autoconfiguration
scheme called GeoSAC for vehicular networks [GeoSAC]. GeoSAC uses
geographic networking concepts such that it combines the standard
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) and geographic routing functionality.
It matches geographically-scoped network partitions to individual
IPv6 multicast-capable links. In the standard IPv6, all nodes within
the same link must communicate with each other, but due to the
characteristics of wireless links, this concept of a link is not
clear in vehicular networks. GeoSAC defines a link as a geographic
area having a network partition. This geographic area can have a
connected VANET. Thus, vehicles within the same VANET in a specific
geographic area are regarded as staying in the same link, that is, an
IPv6 multicast link.
The GeoSAC paper identifies eight key requirements of IPv6 address
autoconfiguration for vehicular networks: (i) the configuration of
globally valid addresses, (ii) a low complexity for address
autoconfiguration, (iii) a minimum signaling overhead of address
autoconfiguration, (iv) the support of network mobility through
movement detection, (v) an efficient gateway selection from multiple
RSUs, (vi) a fully distributed address autoconfiguration for network
security, (vii) the authentication and integrity of signaling
messages, and (viii) the privacy protection of vehicles' users.
To support the proposed link concept, GeoSAC performs ad hoc routing
for geographic networking in a sub-IP layer called Car-to-Car (C2C)
NET. Vehicles within the same link can receive an IPv6 router
advertisement (RA) message transmitted by an RSU as a router, so they
can autoconfigure their IPv6 address based on the IPv6 prefix
contained in the RA and perform Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) to
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
verify the uniqueness of the autoconfigured IP address by the help of
the geographic routing within the link.
For location-based applications, to translate between a geographic
area and an IPv6 prefix belonging to an RSU, this paper takes
advantage of an extended DNS service, using GPS-based addressing and
routing along with geographic IPv6 prefix format [GeoSAC].
Thus, GeoSAC can support the IPv6 link concept through geographic
routing within a specific geographic area.
6.1.4. Cross-layer Identities Management in ITS Stations
ITS and vehicular networks are built on the concept of an ITS station
(ITS-S) (e.g., vehicle and RSU), which is a common reference model
inspired from the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standard
[Identity-Management]. In vehicular networks using multiple access
network technologies through a cross-layer architecture, a vehicle
with an OBU may have multiple identities corresponding to the access
network interfaces. Wetterwald et al. conducted a comprehensive
study of the cross-layer identity management in vehicular networks
using multiple access network technologies, which constitutes a
fundamental element of the ITS architecture [Identity-Management].
Besides considerations related to the case where ETSI GeoNetworking
[ETSI-GeoNetworking] is used, this paper analyzes the major
requirements and constraints weighing on the identities of ITS
stations, e.g., privacy and compatibility with safety applications
and communications. The concerns related to security and privacy of
the users need to be addressed for vehicular networking, considering
all the protocol layers. In other words, for security and privacy
constraints to be met, the IPv6 address of a vehicle should be
derived from a pseudonym-based MAC address and renewed simultaneously
with that changing MAC address. By dynamically changing its IPv6
address, an ITS-S can avoid being tracked by a hacker. However,
sometimes this address update cannot be applied; in some situations,
continuous knowledge about the surrounding vehicles is required.
Also, the ITS-S Identity Management paper defines a cross-layer
framework that fulfills the requirements on the identities of ITS
stations and analyzes systematically, layer by layer, how an ITS
station can be identified uniquely and safely, whether it is a moving
station (e.g., car or bus using temporary trusted pseudonyms) or a
static station (e.g., RSU and central station). This paper has been
applied to the specific case of the ETSI GeoNetworking as the network
layer, but an identical reasoning should be applied to IPv6 over
802.11 in Outside the Context of a Basic Service Set (OCB) mode now.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
6.2. Problem Statement for IP Address Autoconfiguration
This section discusses IP addressing for the V2I and V2V networking.
There are two approaches for IPv6 addressing in vehicular networks.
The first is to use unique local IPv6 unicast addresses (ULAs) for
vehicular networks [RFC4193]. The other is to use global IPv6
addresses for the interoperability with the Internet [RFC4291]. The
former approach has been used sometimes by Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(MANET) for an isolated subnet. This approach can support the
emergency notification service and navigation service in road
networks. However, for general Internet services (e.g., email
access, web surfing and entertainment services), the latter approach
is required.
For global IP addresses, there are two choices: a multi-link subnet
approach for multiple RSUs and a single subnet approach per RSU. In
the multi-link subnet approach, which is similar to ULA for MANET,
RSUs play a role of layer-2 (L2) switches and the router
interconnected with the RSUs is required. The router maintains the
location of each vehicle belonging to an RSU for L2 switching. In
the single subnet approach per RSU, which is similar to the legacy
subnet in the Internet, each RSU plays the role of a (layer-3)
router.
6.2.1. Neighbor Discovery
Neighbor Discovery (ND) [RFC4861] is a core part of the IPv6 protocol
suite. This section discusses the need for modifying ND for use with
V2I networking. The vehicles are moving fast within the
communication coverage of an RSU. The external link between the
vehicle and the RSU can be used for V2I networking, as shown in
Figure 2.
ND time-related parameters such as router lifetime and Neighbor
Advertisement (NA) interval should be adjusted for high-speed
vehicles and vehicle density. As vehicles move faster, the NA
interval should decrease for the NA messages to reach the neighboring
vehicles promptly. Also, as vehicle density is higher, the NA
interval should increase for the NA messages to collide with other NA
messages with lower collision probability.
6.2.2. IP Address Autoconfiguration
This section discusses IP address autoconfiguration for vehicular
networking. For IP address autoconfiguration, high-speed vehicles
should also be considered. For V2I networking, the legacy IPv6
stateless address autoconfiguration [RFC4862], as shown in Figure 1,
may not perform well. This is because vehicles can travel through
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
the communication coverage of the RSU faster than the completion of
address autoconfiguration (with Router Advertisement and Duplicate
Address Detection (DAD) procedures).
To mitigate the impact of vehicle speed on address configuration, the
RSU can perform IP address autoconfiguration including the DAD
proactively as an ND proxy on behalf of the vehicles. If vehicles
periodically report their movement information (e.g., position,
trajectory, speed, and direction) to TCC, TCC can coordinate the RSUs
under its control for the proactive IP address configuration of the
vehicles with the mobility information of the vehicles. DHCPv6 (or
Stateless DHCPv6) can be used for the IP address autoconfiguration
[RFC3315][RFC3736].
In the case of a single subnet per RSU, the delay to change IPv6
address through DHCPv6 procedure is not suitable since vehicles move
fast. Some modifications are required for the high-speed vehicles
that quickly traverses the communication coverages of multiple RSUs.
Some modifications are required for both stateless address
autoconfiguration and DHCPv6. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) can be used for
the fast update of a vehicle's care-of address for the current RSU to
communicate with the vehicle [RFC6275].
For IP address autoconfiguration in V2V, vehicles can autoconfigure
their address using prefixes for ULAs for vehicular networks
[RFC4193].
High-speed mobility should be considered for a light-overhead address
autoconfiguration. A cluster leader can have an IPv6 prefix
[Address-Autoconf]. Each lane in a road segment can have an IPv6
prefix [Address-Assignment]. A geographic region under the
communication range of an RSU can have an IPv6 prefix [GeoSAC].
IPv6 ND should be extended to support the concept of a link for an
IPv6 prefix in terms of multicast. Ad Hoc routing is required for
the multicast in a connected VANET with the same IPv6 prefix
[GeoSAC]. A rapid DAD should be supported to prevent or reduce IPv6
address conflicts.
In the ETSI GeoNetworking, for the sake of security and privacy, an
ITS station (e.g., vehicle) can use pseudonyms for its network
interface identities and the corresponding IPv6 addresses
[Identity-Management]. For the continuity of an end-to-end transport
session, the cross-layer identity management has to be performed
carefully.

Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
7. Routing
This section surveys routing in vehicular networks, and then
discusses problem statement for routing in vehicular networks.
7.1. Existing Routing Protocols
7.1.1. Experimental Evaluation for IPv6 over GeoNet
Tsukada et al. presented a work that aims at combining IPv6
networking and a Car-to-Car Network routing protocol (called C2CNet)
proposed by the Car2Car Communication Consortium (C2C-CC), which is
an architecture using a geographic routing protocol
[VANET-Geo-Routing]. In the C2C-CC architecture, the C2CNet layer is
located between IPv6 and link layers. Thus, an IPv6 packet is
delivered with an outer C2CNet header, which introduces the challenge
of how to support the communication types defined in C2CNet in IPv6
layer.
The main goal of GeoNet is to enhance the C2C specifications and
create a prototype software implementation interfacing with IPv6.
C2CNet is specified in C2C-CC as a geographic routing protocol.
In order to assess the performance of C2CNet, the authors measured
the network performance with UDP and ICMPv6 traffic using iperf and
ping6. The test results show that IPv6 over C2CNet does not have too
much delay (less than 4ms with a single hop) and is feasible for
vehicle communication. In the outdoor testbed, they developed
AnaVANET to enable hop-by-hop performance measurement and position
trace of the vehicles.
The combination of IPv6 multicast and GeoBroadcast was implemented;
however, the authors did not evaluate the performance with such a
scenario. One of the reasons is that a sufficiently high number of
receivers are necessary to properly evaluate multicast but
experimental evaluation is limited in the number of vehicles (4 in
this study).
7.1.2. Location-Aided Gateway Advertisement and Discovery
Abrougui et al. presented a gateway discovery scheme for VANET,
called Location-Aided Gateway Advertisement and Discovery (LAGAD)
mechanism[LAGAD]. LAGAD enables vehicles to route packets toward the
closest gateway quickly by discovering nearby gateways. The major
problem that LAGAD tackles is to determine the radius of
advertisement zone of a gateway, which depends on the location and
velocity of a vehicle.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
A gateway sends advertisement (GAdv) messages perodically to
neighboring vehicles. When receiving a request message from a
vehicle, the gateway replies to the source vehicle by a gateway reply
(GRep) message. The GRep message contains the location information
of the gateway and the subnet prefix of the gateway by which the
source vehicle can send data packet via the gateway. The gateway
sends GAdv messages through all vehicles within an advertisement zone
built based on the velocity of the source vehicle.
The source vehicle starts gateway discovery process by sending
routing request packets. The routing request packet is encapsulated
into a Gateway Reactive Discovery (GRD) packet or a GReq message to
send to the surrounding vehicles. The GRD contains both discovery
and routing information as well as the location and the velocity of
the source vehicle. Meanwhile, the intermediate vehicles in an
advertisement zone of the gateway forward packets sent from the
source vehicle. The gateway continuously updates the advertisement
zone whenever receiving a new data packet from the source vehicle.
7.2. Routing Problem Statement
IP address autoconfiguration should be modified to support the
efficient networking. Due to network fragmentation, vehicles
sometimes cannot communicate with each other temporarily. IPv6 ND
should consider the temporary network fragmentation. IPv6 link
concept can be supported by Geographic routing to connect vehicles
with the same IPv6 prefix.
The gateway advertisement and discovery process for routing in VANET
can probably work when the density of vehicle in a road network is
not sparse. A sparse vehicular network challenges the gateway
discovery since network fragmentation interrupts the discovery
process.
8. Mobility Management
This section surveys mobility management schemes in vehicular
networks to support handover, and then discusses problem statement
for mobility management in vehicular networks.
8.1. Existing Protocols
8.1.1. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks with Network Fragmentation
Chen et al. tackled the issue of network fragmentation in VANET
environments [IP-Passing-Protocol]. The paper proposes a protocol
that can postpone the time to release IP addresses to the DHCP server
and select a faster way to get the vehicle's new IP address, when the
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
vehicle density is low or the speeds of vehicles are varied. In such
circumstances, the vehicle may not be able to communicate with the
intended vehicle either directly or through multi-hop relays as a
consequence of network fragmentation.
The paper claims that although the existing IP passing and mobility
solutions may reduce handoff delay, but they cannot work properly on
VANET especially with network fragmentation. This is due to the fact
that messages cannot be transmitted to the intended vehicles. When
network fragmentation occurs, it may incur longer handoff latency and
higher packet loss rate. The main goal of this study is to improve
existing works by proposing an IP passing protocol for VANET with
network fragmentation.
The paper makes the assumption that on the highway, when a vehicle
moves to a new subnet, the vehicle will receive broadcast packet from
the target Base Station (BS), and then perform the handoff procedure.
The handoff procedure includes two parts, such as the layer-2 handoff
(new frequency channel) and the layer-3 handover (a new IP address).
The handoff procedure contains movement detection, DAD procedure, and
registration. In the case of IPv6, the DAD procedure is time
consuming and may cause the link to be disconnected.
This paper proposes another handoff mechanism. The handoff procedure
contains the following phases. The first is the information
collecting phase, where each mobile node (vehicle) will broadcast its
own and its neighboring vehicles' locations, moving speeds, and
directions periodically. The remaining phases are, the fast IP
acquiring phase, the cooperation of vehicle phase, the make before
break phase, and the route redirection phase.
Simulations results show that for the proposed protocol, network
fragmentation ratio incurs less impact. Vehicle speed and density
has great impact on the performance of the IP passing protocol
because vehicle speed and vehicle density will affect network
fragmentation ratio. A longer IP lifetime can provide a vehicle with
more chances to acquire its IP address through IP passing.
Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce IP
acquisition time and packet loss rate, so extend IP lifetime with
extra message overhead.
8.1.2. Hybrid Centralized-Distributed Mobility Management
Nguyen et al. proposed a hybrid centralized-distributed mobility
management called H-DMM to support highly mobile vehicles [H-DMM].
Legacy mobility management systems are not suitable for high-speed
scenarios because a registration delay is imposed proportional to the
distance between a vehicle and its anchor network. H-DMM is designed
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
to satisfy requirements such as service disruption time, end-to-end
delay, packet delivery cost, and tunneling cost.
H-DMM proposes a central node called central mobility anchor (CMA),
which plays the role of a local mobility anchor (LMA) in PMIPv6.
When it enters a mobile access router (MAR) as an access router, a
vehicle obtains a prefix from the MAR (called MAR-prefix) according
to the legacy DMM protocol. In addition, it obtains another prefix
from the CMA (called LMA-prefix) for a PMIPv6 domain. Whenever it
performs a handover between the subnets for two adjacent MARs, a
vehicle keeps the LMA-prefix while obtaining a new prefix from the
new MAR. For a new data exchange with a new CN, the vehicle can
select the MAR-prefix or the LMA-prefix for its own source IPv6
address. If the number of active prefixes is greater than a
threshold, the vehicle uses the LMA-prefix-based IPv6 address as its
source address. In addition, it can continue receiving data packets
with the destination IPv6 addresses based on the previous prefixes
through the legacy DMM protocol.
Thus, H-DMM can support an efficient tunneling for a high-speed
vehicle that moves fast across the subnets of two adjacent MARs.
However, when H-DMM asks a vehicle to perform DAD for the uniqueness
test of its configured IPv6 address in the subnet of the next MAR,
the activation of the configured IPv6 address for networking will be
delayed. This indicates that a proactive DAD by a network component
(i.e., MAR and LMA) can shorten the address configuration delay of
the current DAD triggered by a vehicle.
8.1.3. Hybrid Architecture for Network Mobility Management
Nguyen et al. proposed H-NEMO, a hybrid centralized-distributed
mobility management scheme to handle IP mobility of moving vehicles
[H-NEMO]. The standard Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support, which
is a centralized scheme for network mobility, provides IP mobility
for a group of users in a moving vehicle, but also inherits the
drawbacks from Mobile IPv6, such as suboptimal routing and signaling
overhead in nested scenarios as well as reliability and scalability
issues. On the contrary, distributed schemes such as the recently
proposed Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) locates the mobility
anchor at the network edge and enables mobility support only to
traffic flows that require such support. However, in high speed
moving vehicles, DMM may suffer from high signaling cost and high
handover latency.
The proposed H-NEMO architecture is not designed for a specific
wireless technology. Instead, it defines a general architecture and
signaling protocol so that a mobile node can obtain mobility from
fixed locations or mobile platforms, and also allows the use of DMM
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
or Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), depending on flow characteristics and
mobility patterns of the node. For IP addressing allocation, a
mobile router (MR) or the mobile node (MN) connected to an MR in a
NEMO obtain two sets of prefixes: one from the central mobility
anchor and one from the mobile access router (MAR). In this way, the
MR/MN may choose a more stable prefix for long-lived flows to be
routed via the central mobility anchor and the MAR-prefix for short-
lived flows to be routed following the DMM concept. The multi-hop
scenario is considered under the concept of a nested-NEMO.
Nguyen et al. did not provide simulation-based evaluations, but they
provided an analytical evaluation that considered signaling and
packet delivery costs, and showed that H-NEMO outperforms the
previous proposals, which are either centralized or distributed ones
with NEMO support. For some measures, such as the signaling cost,
H-NEMO may be more costly than centralized schemes when the velocity
of the node is increasing, but behaves better in terms of packet
delivery cost and handover delay.
8.1.4. NEMO-Enabled Localized Mobility Support
In [NEMO-LMS], the authors proposed an architecture to enable IP
mobility for moving networks using a network-based mobility scheme
based on PMIPv6. In PMIPv6, only mobile terminals are provided with
IP mobility. In contrast to from host-based mobility, PMIPv6 shifts
the signaling to the network side, so that the mobile access gateway
(MAG) is in charge of detecting connection/disconnection of the
mobile node, upon which the signaling to the Local Mobility Anchor
(LMA) is triggered to guarantee a stable IP addressing assignment
when the mobile node performs handover to a new MAG.
Soto et al. proposed NEMO support in PMIPv6 (N-PMIP). In this
scheme, the functionality of the MAG is extended to the mobile router
(MR), also called a mobile MAG (mMAG). The functionality of the
mobile terminal remains unchanged, but it can receive an IPv6 prefix
belonging to the PMIPv6 domain through the new functionality of the
mMAG. Therefore, in N-PMIP, the mobile terminal connects to the MR
as if it is connecting to a fixed MAG, and the MR connects to the
fixed MAG using PMIPv6 signaling. When the mobile terminal roams to
a new MAG or a new MR, the network forwards the packets through the
LMA. Hence, N-PMIP defines an extended functionality in the LMA that
enables a recursive lookup. First, it locates the binding entry
corresponding to the mMAG. Next, it locates the entry corresponding
to the fixed MAG, after which the LMA can encapsulate packets to the
mMAG to which the mobile terminal is currently connected.
The performance of N-PMIP was evaluated through simulations and
compared to a NEMO+MIPv6+PMIPv6 scheme, with better results obtained
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
in N-PMIP. The work did not consider the case of multi-hop
connectivity in the vehicular scenario. In addition, since the MR
should be a trusted entity in the PMIP domain, it requires specific
security associations that were not addressed in [NEMO-LMS].
8.1.5. Network Mobility for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
Chen et al. proposed a network mobility protocol to reduce handoff
delay and maintain Internet connectivity to moving vehicles in a
highway [NEMO-VANET]. In this work, vehicles can acquire IP
addresses from other vehicles through V2V communications. At the
time the vehicle goes out of the coverage of the base station,
another vehicle may assist the roaming car to acquire a new IP
address. Also, cars on the same or opposite lane are authorized to
assist the vehicle to perform a pre-handoff.
The authors assumed that the wireless connectivity is provided by
WiFi and WiMAX access networks. Also, they considered scenarios in
which a single vehicle, i.e., a bus, may need two mobile routers in
order to have an effective pre-handoff procedure. Evaluations are
performed through simulations and the comparison schemes are the
standard NEMO Basic Support protocol and the fast NEMO Basic Support
protocol. Authors did not mention applicability of the scheme in
other scenarios such as in urban transport schemes.
8.1.6. Performance Analysis of P-NEMO for ITS
Lee et al. proposed P-NEMO, which is a PMIPv6-based IP mobility
management scheme to maintain the Internet connectivity at the
vehicle as a mobile network, and provides a make-before-break
mechanism when vehicles switch to a new access network
[PMIP-NEMO-Analysis]. Since the standard PMIPv6 only supports
mobility for a single node, the solution in [PMIP-NEMO-Analysis]
adapts the protocol to reduce the signaling when a local network is
to be served by an in-vehicle mobile router. To achieve this, P-NEMO
extends the binding update lists at both MAG and LMA, so that the
mobile router (MR) can receive a home network prefix (HNP) and a
mobile network prefix (MNP). The latter prefix enables mobility for
the moving network, instead of a single node as in the standard
PMIPv6.
An additional feature is proposed by Lee et al. named fast P-NEMO
(FP-NEMO). It adopts the fast handover approach standardized for
PMIPv6 in [RFC5949] with both predictive and reactive modes. The
difference of the proposed feature with the standard version is that
by using the extensions provided by P-NEMO, the predictive
transferring of the context from the old MAG to the new MAG also
includes information for the moving network, i.e., the MNP. In that
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
way, mobility support can be achieved not only for the mobile router,
but also for mobile nodes traveling with the vehicle.
The performance of P-NEMO and F-NEMO is evaluated through an
analytical model that is compared only to the standard NEMO-BS. No
comparison was provided to other schemes that enable network mobility
in PMIPv6 domains, such as the one presented in [NEMO-LMS].
8.1.7. Integration of VANets and Fixed IP Networks
Peng et al. proposed a novel mobility management scheme for
integration of VANET and fixed IP networks [VNET-MM]. The proposed
scheme deals with mobility of vehicles based on a street layout
instead of a general two dimensional ad hoc network. This scheme
makes use of the information provided by vehicular networks to reduce
mobility management overhead. It allows multiple base stations that
are close to a destination vehicle to discover the connection to the
vehicle simultaneously, which leads to an improvement of the
connectivity and data delivery ratio without redundant messages. The
performance was assessed by using a road traffic simulator called
SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility).
8.1.8. SDN-based Mobility Management for 5G Networks
Nguyen et al. extended their previous works on a vehicular adapted
DMM considering a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture
[SDN-DMM]. On one hand, in their previous work, Nguyen et al.
proposed DMM-PMIP and DMM-MIP architectures for VANET. The major
innovation behind DMM is to distribute the Mobility Functions (MFs)
through the network instead of concentrating them in one bottleneck
MF, or in a hierarchically organized backbone of MFs. Highly mobile
vehicular networks impose frequent IP route optimizations that lead
to suboptimal routes (detours) between CN and vehicles. The
suboptimality critically increases when there are nested or
hierarchical MF nodes. Therefore, flattening the IP mobility
architecture significantly reduces detours, as it is the role of the
last MF to get the closest next MF (in most cases nearby). Yet, with
an MF being distributed throughout the network, a Control plane
becomes necessary in order to provide a solution for CN to address
vehicles. The various solutions developed by Nguyen at al. not only
showed the large benefit of a DMM approach for IPv6 mobility
management, but also emphasized the critical role of an efficient
Control plane.
One the other hand, SDN has recently gained attention from the
Internet Networking community due to its capacity to provide a
significantly higher scalability of highly dynamic flows, which is
required by future 5G dynamic networks In particular, SDN also
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
suggests a strict separation between a Control plane (SDN-Controller)
and a Data plane (OpenFlow Switches) based on the OpenFlow standard.
Such an architecture has two advantages that are critical for IP
mobility management in VANET. First, unlike traditional routing
mechanisms, OpenFlow focuses on flows rather than optimized routes.
Accordingly, they can optimize routing based on flows (grouping
multiple flows in one route, or allowing one flow to have different
routes), and can detect broken flows much earlier than the
traditional networking solutions. Second, SDN controllers may
dynamically reprogram (reconfigure) OpenFlow Switches (OFS) to always
keep an optimal route between CN and a vehicular node.
Nguyen et. al observed the mutual benefits IPv6 DMM could obtain from
an SDN architecture, and then proposed an SDN-based DMM for VANET.
In their proposed architecture, a PMIP-DMM is used, where MF is OFS
for the Data plane, and one or more SDN controllers handle the
Control plane. The evaluation and prototype in the paper prove that
the proposed architecture can provide a higher scalability than the
standard DMM.
The SDN-DMM paper makes several observations leading to a strong
suggestion that IP mobility management should be based on an SDN
architecture. First, SDN will be integrated into future Internet and
5G in the near future. Second, after separating the Identity and
Routing addressing, IP mobility management further requires to
separate the Control from the Data plane if it needs to remain
scalable for VANET. Finally, Flow-based routing (in particular
OpenFlow standard) will be required in future heterogeneous vehicular
networks (e.g., multi-RAT and multi-protocol) and the SDN coupled
with DMM provides a double benefit of dynamic flow detection/
reconfiguration and short(-er) route optimizations.
8.1.9. IP Mobility for VANETs: Challenges and Solutions
Cespedes et al. provided a survey of the challenges for NEMO Basic
Support for VANET [Vehicular-IP-MM]. NEMO allows the management of a
group of nodes (a mobile network) rather than a single node.
However, although a vehicle and even a platoon of vehicles could be
seen as a group of nodes, NEMO has not been designed considering the
particularities of VANET. For example, NEMO builds a tunnel between
an MR (on board of a vehicle) and its HA, which in a VANET context is
suboptimal, for instance due to over-the-air tunneling cost. Also, a
detour may be taken by the MR's HA, even if the CN is nearby.
Furthermore, route optimization is needed when the MR moves to a new
AR.
Cespedes et al. first summarize the requirements of IP mobility
management, such as reduced power at end-device, reduced handover
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
event, reduced complexity, or reduced bandwidth consumption. VANET
adds the following requirements, such as minimum signaling for route
optimization (RO), per-flow separability, security and binding
privacy protection, multi-homing, and switching HA. As observed,
these provide several challenges to IP mobility and NEMO BS for
VANET.
Cespedes et al. then describe various optimization schemes available
for NEMO BS. Considering a single hop connection to CN, one major
optimization direction is to avoid the HA detour and reach the CN
directly. In that direction, a few optimizations are proposed, such
as creating an IP tunnel between the MR and the CR directly, creating
an IP tunnel between the MR and a CR (rather than the HA), a
delegation mechanism allowing visiting nodes to use MIPv6 directly
rather than NEMO or finally intra-NEMO optimization for a direct path
within NEMO bypassing HAs.
Specific to VANET, multi-hop connection is possible to the fixed
network. In that case, NEMO BS must be enhanced to avoid requiring
that the path to immediate neighbors must pass by the respective HAs
instead of directly. More specifically, two approaches are proposed
to rely on VANET sub-IP multi-hop routing to hide a NEMO complex
topology (e.g., Nested NEMO) and provide a direct route between two
VANET nodes. Generally, one major challenge is security and privacy
when opening a multi-hop route between a VANET and a CN.
Heterogeneous multi-hop in a VANET (e.g., relying on various access
technologies) corresponds to another challenge for NEMO BS as well.
Cespedes et al. conclude their paper with an overview of critical
research challenges, such as Anchor Point location, the optimized
usage of geographic information at the subIP as well as at the IP
level to improve NEMO BS, security and privacy, and the addressing
allocation schema for NEMO.
In summary, this paper illustrates that NEMO BS for VANET should
avoid the HA detour as well as opening IP tunnels over the air.
Also, NEMO BS could use geographic information for subIP routing when
a direct link between vehicles is required to reach an AR, but also
anticipate handovers and optimize ROs. From an addressing
perspective, dynamic MNP assignments should be preferred, but should
be secured in particular during binding update (BU).
8.2. Problem Statement for Mobility-Management
This section discusses an IP mobility support in V2I networking. In
a single subnet per RSU, vehicles continually cross the communication
coverages of adjacent RSUs. During this crossing, TCP/UDP sessions
can be maintained through IP mobility support, such as MIPv6
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
[RFC6275], Proxy MIPv6 [RFC5213][RFC5949], and Distributed Mobility
Management (DMM) [RFC7333][RFC7429]. Since vehicles move fast along
roadways, high speed should be enabled by the parameter configuration
in the IP mobility management. With the periodic reports of the
movement information from the vehicles, TCC can coordinate RSUs and
other network compoments under its control for the proactive mobility
management of the vehicles along the movement of the vehicles.
To support the mobility of a vehicle's moving network, Network
Mobility Basic Support Protocol (NEMO) can be used [RFC3963]. Like
MIPv6, the high speed of vehicles should be considered for a
parameter configuration in NEMO.
Mobility Management (MM) solution design varies, depending on
scenarios: highway vs. urban roadway. Hybrid schemes (NEMO + PMIP,
PMIP + DMM, etc.) usually show better performance than pure schemes.
Most schemes assume that IP address configuration is already set up.
Most schemes have been tested only at either simulation or analytical
level. SDN can be considered as a player in the MM solution.
9. DNS Naming Service
This section surveys and analyzes DNS naming service to translate a
device's DNS name into the corresponding IP address, and then
discusses problem statement for DNS naming service in vehicular
networks.
9.1. Existing Protocols
9.1.1. Multicast DNS
Multicast DNS (mDNS)[RFC6762] allows devices in one-hop communication
range to resolve each other's DNS name into the corresponding IP
address in multicast. Each device has a DNS resolver and a DNS
server. The DNS resolver generates a DNS query for the device's
application and the DNS server responds to a DNS query corresponding
to its device's DNS name.
9.1.2. DNS Name Autoconfiguration for IoT Devices
DNS Name Autoconfiguration (DNSNA) [ID-DNSNA] proposes a DNS naming
service for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in a large-scale
network.
The DNS naming service of DNSNA consists of four steps, such as DNS
name generation, DNS name duplication detection, DNS name
registration, and DNS name list retrieval.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
First, in DNS name generation, DNSNA allows each IoT device to
generate its own DNS name with a DNS suffix (acquired from ND or
DHCP) and its device information (e.g., vendor, model, and serial
number).
Second, in DNS name duplication detection, each device checks whether
its generated DNS name is used by another IoT device in the same
subnet.
Third, in DNS name registration, each device registers its DNS name
and the corresponding IPv6 address into a designated DNS server via a
router. The router periodically collects DNS information of IoT
devices in its the subnets corresponding ot its network interfaces.
Last, in DNS name list retrieval, a user can retrieve the DNS name
list of IoT devices available to the user through the designated DNS
server. Once the user retrieves the list having a DNS name and the
corresponding IP address(es), it can monitor and remote-control an
IoT device.
9.2. Problem Statement
The DNS name resolution translates a DNS name into the corresponding
IPv6 address through a recursive DNS server (RDNSS) within the
vehicle's moving network and DNS servers in the Internet
[RFC1034][RFC1035], which are located outside the VANET. The RDNSSes
can be advertised by RA DNS Option or DHCP DNS Option into the
subnets within the vehicle's moving network.
mDNS is designed for a small ad hoc network with wireless/wired one-
hop communication range. If it is used in a vehicle's mobile network
having multiple subnets, mDNS cannot effectively work in such a
multi-hop network. This is because the DNS query message of each DNS
resolver should be multicasted into the whole mobile network, leading
to a large volume of DNS traffic.
DNSNA is designed for a large-scale network with multiple subnets.
If it is used in a vehicle's mobile network having multiple subnets,
DNSNA can effectively work in such a multi-hop network. This is
because the DNS query message of each DNS resolver should be
unicasted to the designated DNS server.
DNSNA allows each host (e.g., in-vehicle device and a user's mobile
device) within a vehicle's moving network to generate its unique DNS
name and registers it into a DNS server within the vehicle's moving
network [ID-DNSNA]. With Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), a
unique DNS suffix can be constructed as a DNS domain for the
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
vehicle's moving network. Each host can generate its DNS name and
register it into the local RDNSS in the vehicle's moving network.
10. Service Discovery
This section surveys and analyzes service discovery to translate a
required service into an IP address of a device to provide such a
service, and then discusses problem statement for service discovery
in vehicular networks.
10.1. Existing Protocols
10.1.1. mDNS-based Service Discovery
As a popular existing service discovery protocol, DNS-based Service
Discovery (DNS-SD) [RFC6763] with mDNS [RFC6762] provides service
discovery.
DNS-SD uses a DNS service (SRV) resource record (RR) [RFC2782] to
support the service discovery of services provided by a device or
server. An SRV RR contains a service instance name, consisting of an
instance name (i.e., device), a service name, a transport layer
protocol, a domain name, the corresponding port number, and the DNS
name of the device eligible for the requested service. With this
DNS-SD, a host can search for a service instance with the SRV RR to
discover a list of devices corresponding to the searched service
type.
10.1.2. ND-based Service Discovery
Vehicular ND [ID-Vehicular-ND] proposes an extension of IPv6 ND for
the prefix and service discovery. Vehicles and RSUs can announce the
network prefixes and services in their internal network via ND
messages containing ND options with the prefix and service
information. Since it does not need any additional service discovery
protocol in the application layer, this ND-based approach can provide
vehicles and RSUs with the rapid discovery of the network prefixes
and services.
10.2. Problem Statement
Vehicles need to discover services (e.g., road condition
notification, navigation service, and entertainment) provided by
infrastructure nodes in a fixed network via RSU, as shown in
Figure 2. During the passing of an intersection or road segment with
an RSU, vehicles should perform this service discovery quickly. For
these purposes, service discovery should be performed quickly.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 35]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
mDNS-based DNS-SD [RFC6762][RFC6763] can be used for service
discovery between vehicles or between a vehicle and an RSU by using a
multicast protocol, the service discovery requires a nonnegligible
service delay due to service discovery. This is because the service
discovery message should traverse the mobile network or fixed network
through multicasting. This may hinder the prompt service usage of
the vehicles from the fixed network via RSU.
One feasible approach is a piggyback service discovery during the
prefix exchange of network prefixes for the networking between a
vehicle's moving network and an RSU's fixed network. That is, the
message of the prefix exchange can include service information, such
as each service's IP address, transport layer protocol, and port
number. The Vehicular ND [ID-Vehicular-ND] can support this approach
efficiently.
11. Security and Privacy
This section surveys security and privacy in vehicular networks, and
then discusses problem statement for security and privacy in
vehicular networks.
11.1. Existing Protocols
11.1.1. Securing Vehicular IPv6 Communications
Fernandez et al. proposed a secure vehicular IPv6 communication
scheme using Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) and Internet
Protocol Security (IPsec) [Securing-VCOMM]. This scheme aims at the
security support for IPv6 Network Mobility (NEMO) for in-vehicle
devices inside a vehicle via a Mobile Router (MR). An MR has
multiple wireless interfaces, such as 3G, IEEE 802.11p, WiFi, and
WiMAX. The proposed architecture consists of Vehicle ITS Station
(Vehicle ITS-S), Roadside ITS Station (Roadside ITS-S), and Central
ITS Station (Central ITS-S). Vehicle ITS-S is a vehicle having a
mobile Network along with an MR. Roadside ITS-S is an RSU as a
gateway to connect vehicular networks to the Internet. Central ITS-S
is a TCC as a Home Agent (HA) for the location management of vehicles
having their MR.
The proposed secure vehicular IPv6 communication scheme sets up IPsec
secure sessions for control and data traffic between the MR in a
Vehicle ITS-S and the HA in a Central ITS-S. Roadside ITS-S plays a
role of an Access Router (AR) for Vehicle ITS-S's MR to provide the
Internet connectivity for Vehicle ITS-S via wireless interfaces, such
as IEEE 802.11p, WiFi, and WiMAX. In the case where Roadside ITS-S
is not available to Vehicle ITS-S, Vehicle ITS-S communicates with
Central ITS-S via cellular networks (e.g., 3G). The secure
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
communication scheme enhances the NEMO protocol that interworks with
IKEv2 and IPsec in network mobility in vehicular networks.
The authors implemented their scheme and evaluated its performance in
a real testbed. This testbed supports two wireless networks, such as
IEEE 802.11p and 3G. The in-vehicle devices (or hosts) in Vehicle
ITS-S are connected to an MR of Vehicle ITS-S via IEEE 802.11g. The
test results show that their scheme supports promising secure IPv6
communications with a low impact on communication performance.
11.1.2. Authentication and Access Control
Moustafa et al. proposed a security scheme providing authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) services in vehicular networks
[VNET-AAA]. This secuirty scheme aims at the support of safe and
reliable data services in vehicular networks. It authenticates
vehicles as mobile clients to use the network access and various
services that are provided by service providers. Also, it ensures a
confidential data transfer between communicating parties (e.g.,
vehicle and infrastructure node) by using IEEE 802.11i (i.e., WPA2)
for secure layer-2 links.
The authors proposed a vehicular network architecture consisting of
three entities, such as Access network, Wireless mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs), and Access Points (APs). Access network is the
fixed network infrastructure forming the back-end of the
architecture. Wireless MANETs are constructed by moving vehicles
forming the front-end of the architecture. APs is the IEEE 802.11
WLAN infrastructure forming the interface between the front-end and
back-end of the architecture.
For AAA services, the proposed architecture uses a Kerberos
authentication model that authenticates vehicles at the entry point
with the AP and also authorizes them to the access of various
services. Since vehicles are authenticated by a Kerberos
Authentication Server (AS) only once, the proposed security scheme
can minimize the load on the AS and reduce the delay imposed by layer
2 using IEEE 802.11i.
11.2. Problem Statement
Security and privacy are paramount in the V2I and V2V networking in
vehicular networks. Only authorized vehicles should be allowed to
use the V2I and V2V networking. Also, in-vehicle devices and mobile
devices in a vehicle need to communicate with other in-vehicle
devices and mobile devices in another vehicle, and other servers in
an RSU in a secure way.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and a user certificate along
with in-vehicle device's identifier generation can be used to
authenticate a vehicle and the user through a road infrastructure
node, such as an RSU connected to an authentication server in TCC.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates can also be used for
secure vehicle communications.
For secure V2I communication, the secure channel between a mobile
router in a vehicle and a fixed router in an RSU should be
established, as shown in Figure 2. Also, for secure V2V
communication, the secure channel between a mobile router in a
vehicle and a mobile router in another vehicle should be established,
as shown in Figure 3.
The security for vehicular networks should provide vehicles with AAA
services in an efficient way. It should consider not only horizontal
handover, but also vertical handover since vehicles have multiple
wireless interfaces.
To prevent an adversary from tracking a vehicle by with its MAC
address or IPv6 address, each vehicle should periodically update its
MAC address and the corresponding IPv6 address as suggested in
[RFC4086][RFC4941]. Such an update of the MAC and IPv6 addresses
should not interrupt the communications between a vehicle and an RSU.
12. Discussions
12.1. Summary and Analysis
This document surveyed state-of-the-arts technologies for IP-based
vehicular networks, such as IP address autoconfiguration, vehicular
network architecture, vehicular network routing, and mobility
management.
Through this survey, it is learned that IPv6-based vehicular
networking can be well-aligned with IEEE WAVE standards for various
vehicular network applications, such as driving safety, efficient
driving, and entertainment. However, since the IEEE WAVE standards
do not recommend to use the IPv6 ND protocol for the communication
efficiency under high-speed mobility, it is necessary to adapt the ND
for vehicular networks with such high-speed mobility.
The concept of a link in IPv6 does not match that of a link in VANET
because of the physical separation of communication ranges of
vehicles in a connected VANET. That is, in a linear topology of
three vehicles (Vehicle-1, Vehicle-2, and Vehicle-3), Vehicle-1 and
Vehicle-2 can communicate directly with each other. Vehicle-2 and
Vehicle-3 can communicate directly with each other. However,
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
Vehicle-1 and Vehicle-3 cannot communicate directly with each other
due to the out-of-communication range. For the link in IPv6, all of
three vehicles are on a link, so they can communicate directly with
each other. On the other hand, in VANET, this on-link communication
concept is not valid in VANET. Thus, the IPv6 ND should be extended
to support this multi-link subnet of a connected VANET through either
ND proxy or VANET routing.
For IP-based networking, IP address autoconfiguration is a
prerequisite function. Since vehicles can communicate intermittently
with TCC via RSUs through V2I communications, TCC can play a role of
a DHCP server to allocate unique IPv6 addresses to the vehicles.
This centralized address allocation can remove the delay of the DAD
procedure for testing the uniqueness of IPv6 addresses.
For routing and mobility management, most of vehicles are equipped
with a GPS navigator as a dedicated navigation system or a smartphone
App. With this GPS navigator, vehicles can share their current
position and trajectory (i.e., navigation path) with TCC. TCC can
predict the future positions of the vehicles with their mobility
information (i.e., the current position, speed, direction, and
trajectory). With the prediction of the vehicle mobility, TCC
supports RSUs to perform data packet routing and handover
proactively.
12.2. Deployment Issues
Some automobile companies (e.g., BMW and Hyundai) started to use
Ethernet for a vehicle's internal network instead of the traditional
Contoller Area Network (CAN) for high-speed interconnectivity among
electronic control units. With this trend, the IP-based vehicular
networking in this document will be popular in near future.
Self-driving technologies are being developed by many automobile
companies (e.g., Tesla, BMW, GM, Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai) and IT
companies (e.g., Google and Apple). Since they require high-speed
interaction among vehicles, infrastructure nodes (e.g., RSU), and
cloud, IP-based networking will be mandatory.
Therefore, key component technologies for the IP-based vehicular
networking need to be developed for future demands along with an
efficient vehicular network architecture.
13. Security Considerations
Section 11 discusses security and privacy for IP-based vehicular
networking.
Jeong Expires May 17, 2018 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft IP-based Vehicular Networking November 2017
The security for key components in vehicular networking, such as IP
address autoconfiguration, routing, mobility management, DNS naming
service, and service discovery, needs to be analyzed in depth.
