VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKS: INTERPLAY OF GEOMETRY, COMMUNICATIONS, AND TRAFFIC FEBRUARY 2013 MOHAMMAD NEKOUI B.Sc., UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN M.Sc., UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Hossein Pishro-Nik Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have been proposed to enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation systems. Such networks hold unique char...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network is one of the most emerging fields for researchers and industry communities. As the nodes are high speed moving vehicles on the road, cause frequent changes in network topology. Estimation of path duration between source and destination node is a challenging task in VANETs. Path duration is a key parameter to design a routing protocol as it is very useful to increase th...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can increase road safety and comfort. It needs strong demand for security because the data sent in VANETs influence vehicles’ behavior. Existing studies have summarized VANET security, challenge, attacks. This study aims to present a comprehensive overview of misbehavior detection VANETs. First, characteristics, issues, attacks are discussed. Then, precise def...

The particular requirements and special features of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) (e.g., mobility patterns, short link lifetimes, rapid topology changes) involve challenges for the research community. One these is development new routing protocols specially designed VANETs. In this paper, we present a novel game-theoretical approach multimetric geographical protocol VANETs to forward video...
