Vehicle communications, new ad hoc design paradigms and the role of the internet [Keynote Speech]

Summary form only given. This paper focuses on vehicles as mobile data platforms, and address two problems: (1) sharing content obtained from the Internet, and; (2) tapping the massive sensor type information autonomously collected by the vehicles. This paper also discusses the techniques critical to their efficient deployment, namely, P2P gossiping, network coding, epidemic dissemination and distributed index to track content and location. The second part of the talk, addresses the synergy between vehicle based and Internet supported services. We argue that this can be achieved through transparent geo-route provisioning across the Internet, mobile resource monitoring, and mobility management. We then focus on routing and show the importance of infrastructure cooperation for efficient, congestion free routing
