Study on Vehicular Ad-Hoc Delay Tolerant Networking for Infrastructure-Less Areas

Abstract

Generally in traditional networks suppose the existence of some path between endpoints. Today, however, new applications, environments and types of devices are challenging these assumptions. In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), an end-to-end path from source to destination may not exist. Nodes may connect and exchange their information in an opportunistic way. This book represents a broad overview of DTNs, particularly focusing on Vehicular Ad-hoc DTNs, their main characteristics, challenges and our research on this field. In the near future, cars are expected to be equipped with devices that will allow them to communicate wirelessly i.e. Wi-Fi. However, there will be strict restrictions to the duration of their connections with other vehicles, whereas the conditions of their links will greatly vary; DTNs as well as Ad-hoc DTNs present an attractive solution. Therefore, Vehicular Ad-hoc DTNs constitute an attractive research field. For practical implementation, we have used two Android devices for a little ranges of Wi-Fi. So by this we are trying to give us better accuracy to go further. Thorough out this document, we have mentioned those techniques we came across and also those techniques and algorithms that we used in our proposed method.
