VENDNET: VEhicular Named Data NETwork

Named Data Networking (NDN) is proposed for effective content distribution when a large number of end-users demand for popular content at the same time. Thus, NDN can be implemented in Vehicular ad-hoc NETwork (VANET) to meet the particular requirements. Therefore, all of vehicles refer to the real time traffic status by a faster and more efficient network. In this paper, we propose VEhicular Named Data NETwork (VENDNET) according to three different vehicle communication mechanisms, which are vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), a hybrid of vehicle to road side unit (V2R) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V). Furthermore, this paper illustrates the experimental results conducted by OPNET Modeler, and shows that the solution with NDN enhances the Quality of Service (QoS) of VANET significantly.
