This paper provides an introductory overview of Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks. First, introduction to Networks and is given. schemes protocols can help in situations where network connectivity sparse or with large variations density, even when there no end-to-end by providing a communications solution for non real-time applications. Some special issues like routing are addressed the description applications most important projects Finally, some research challenges discussed conclusions detailed.
The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is undoubtedly at the core future intelligent transportation. It will prevail over road ecosystem, and it have a huge impact on our lives throughout provision seamless connectivity among diverse transportation means. For network to operate efficiently, data needs be quickly spread network, which requires low computational bandwidth overheads. However, dynamics vehicular environments due frequent node mobility poses many challenges realize efficient...
This paper presents the characterization of network delays in an IEC61850 process bus substation area network, both through theoretical analysis and simulations. Several design targets were defined considering recommendations standards good practices: number hops, total delay, probability delay being exceeded, link load, topology availability. An analytical estimation methodology is proposed, steady-state traffic resulting from a breaker failure event. A complete taken as example for...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are sparse networks where complete direct end-to-end paths between source and destination can seldom be established. Routing mechanisms in DTN rely on the nodes' mobility to connect disconnected nodes, carrying messages around network overcome path disconnection. The proactive approach consists of introducing dedicated nodes whose only purpose is establish communication ordinary relieve them from energy-consuming work, such as message routing forwarding. This...
This paper proposes an enhanced PRIvacy preserVing opportunistic routing protocol (ePRIVO) for vehicular delay-tolerant networks (VDTN). ePRIVO models a VDTN as time-varying neighboring graph where edges correspond to relationship between pairs of vehicles. It addresses the problem vehicles taking decision meanwhile keeping their information private, i.e., compute similarity and/or compare metrics in private manner using Paillier homomorphic encryption scheme. The effectiveness is supported...

PRIVO models DTN as time-varying neighboring graph where edges correspond to the relationship among pairs of nodes. ensures privacy by protecting each node's sensitive information even if it has be processed elsewhere. In addition, nodes also compare their metrics in private manner using Paillier homomorphic encryption scheme. The effectiveness is supported through extensive...
In this article, a robust and distributed incentive scheme for collaborative caching dissemination in content-centric cellular-based vehicular delay-tolerant networks (REPSYS) is proposed.

Abstract Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (VDTNs) are a new approach for vehicular communications where vehicles cooperate with each other, acting as the communication infrastructure, to provide low-cost asynchronous opportunistic communications. These technologies assume variable delays and bandwidth constraints characterized by non-transmission control protocol/internet protocol architecture but interacting it at edge of network. VDTNs based on principle communications, bundle-oriented...
