Information-Centric Intelligent Vehicular Networks: Challenges and Guidelines

Abstract

Multimedia data traffic will explosively increase in vehicular networking scenarios as the current advances in vehicular communication technologies and connected cars penetrate on the market. However, current data dissemination protocols and even the host-centric content delivery paradigm will not support the anticipated traffic load without degrading vehicular applications QoS/QoE. Recent research efforts are proposing the information-centric networking paradigm as a viable solution for handling multimedia content distribution in vehicular networks and connected and autonomous vehicles [1-10].
