Titre : New robust protocol for IoV communications Auteurs : Lylia Alouache, Nga Nguyen, Makhlouf Aliouat, Rachid Chelouah, Revue : Internet of Things Numéro : Issue 1 Volume : 1 Date : 2017/03/30 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2017.0139 ISSN : 2514-8273 Résumé : First, the paper presents some definitions of vehicle networks, application areas, communication technologies and barriers that disrupt communications and deteriorate quality of service (QoS) in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Then, it introduces our proposition aiming to detect and bypass disconnection zones through a new routing protocol based on i) the estimation of the contact time between a vehicle and its neighbors, ii) the data load to be transferred and (iii) logs of communication errors. The objective is to ensure the availability, the reliability and the robustness of inter-vehicle communications by taking these three criteria into account in a data routing algorithm.
