More Insights Into Communication Issues in the Internet of Vehicles

International audienceThe incorporation of information and communication technologies within vehicles has truly revolutionized the way we travel today. Connected vehicles represent the building blocks of the emerging Internet of Vehicles (IoV). They are spurring an array of applications in the area of road safety, traffic efficiency and driver's assistance. Connected vehicles refer to vehicles that can support Vehicle-to-X (V2X) connectivity. The critical challenge is to design good mobility and propagation models. In this paper, we intend to study the relevance of a realistic mobility model and a realistic propagation model. First, we analyze the most common routing protocols performance for MANET, namely OLSR, AODV and DSR thanks to a network simulator. Next, we study the influence of both models on a simple safety service. The major result is highlighting the impact of realistic modeling on the simulation
