Wireless communication in internet of vehicles networks: DSRC-based Vs cellular-based

As part of smart cities, Internet of Vehicle (IoV) is an application of IoT. In such network, the wireless communication technologies to facilitate the vehicles communication with each other and with the other public networks include two main classes of communication standards are used: (i) short range communication such as DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications), and (ii) cellular long-range communication including LTE (Long Term Evolution). The vehicles communications require reliability and low latency with large volumes of data that can be transferred within IoV. In this paper, we design a new data real-time communication protocol in IoV that is based on both DSRC and LTE standards for short range and long-range communications, respectively. We called our protocol, ERTP-IoV for Efficient Real-Time protocol in IoV. Extensive simulations, in real urban environments, will be presented later to evaluate the performance of our protocol, as compared to other existing protocols, with 85% expected results.
