SGDR: A simple GPS based disrupt tolerant routing for vehicular networks
The provision of Internet connectivity for a vehicle anywhere anytime is an essential element to realize the vision of Connected Car. However, we observe that the current vehicular network technologies mainly focus on single hop communications having limited coverage for the Internet connectivity. Accordingly, in order to support the always Internet connectivity, multi hop routing that can cover wider area should be considered in vehicular networks. This paper proposes a novel multi hop routing protocol for vehicular networks, called SGDR (Simple GPS based Disrupt tolerant Routing) that can provide efficient Internet connectivity even in infrastructure less environment. SGDR facilitates simple, efficient and practical multi hop networking for vehicular networks by adopting GPS based geographic and disrupt tolerant routing and by introducing VDTN bundle concept.
