Venue: Room 315, Erskine Building (CSSE Department), University of Canterbury
Abstract:
In recent years, there have been growing interest and research efforts in the area of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET). This is due to the ability of those networks to make an interface between the driver and the vehicle, and allow them to improve the security of passengers. Even if VANETs have many advantages such as easy deployment, user mobility and provision of network access to users regardless to their locations, they suffer from security issues and specifically to Denial of Service (DoS). Thus, most critical problems that arise in those networks are on the resource allocations as the bandwidth is limited, the propagation (multi-path, fading, distortion) and security since communications are transmitted over radio waves. In this talk I will present issues about the availability problem in those networks and architecture. New works to fix this problem will be presented as well and several directions will be given.
