Vehicular delay tolerant networks

Smart cities today can utilize vehicular delay tolerant networks (VDTN) to collect
data from connected-objects in the environment for various delay-tolerant
applications. They can take advantage of the available intelligent transportation
systems (ITS) infrastructures to deliver data to the central server. The system
can also exploit multiple and diverse mobility patterns found in cities, such as
privately owned cars, taxis, public buses, and trams, along with their vehicle-toeverything
(V2X) communications capabilities. In the envisioned convergence
between the ITS and V2X, we believe that a simple and efficient routing protocol
can be deployed for the delay-tolerant data delivery, contrary to the implementation
of optimized solutions that might be resource-demanding and difficult to
standardize. In this paper, we analyzed the performances of four baseline VDTN
routing protocols, namely: direct delivery, first contact, epidemic, and spray and
wait, to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Our simulation results highlighted
the trade-off between distinct approaches used by those protocols and
pointed out some gaps that can be refined. This study provides new interesting
ideas and arguments towards developing a simple, efficient, and high-performing
routing protocol for data collection in smart cities.
