Service discovery is an essential component for distributed mobile applications in vehicular communication systems. While there have been numerous service discovery protocols, applications for vehicular communication systems pose additional requirements: discover services according to geographical position inside dynamic mobile environments. In this article, we propose a geographical location aware service discovery mechanism for vehicular ad-hoc networks. The proposed mechanism exploits an IPv6 multicast service discovery protocol on IPv6 GeoNet- working specified by the GeoNet project. Thanks to the GeoBroadcast mechanism, it efficiently propagates service discovery messages to a subset of nodes inside a relevant geographical area with encapsulating IPv6 multicast packets. We implemented the proposed mechanism to the ns-3 network simulator, furthermore we integrated the prototype system using CarGeo6, an open source implementation of IPv6 GeoNetworking, with openSLP. Our simulation and real field evaluation results show the system can discover services with low latency and low bandwidth usage.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are systems deployed to optimize the road traffic and realize safe, efficient and comfortable human mobility. Cooperative ITS is a new vision of ITS where vehicles, the road- side infrastructure, traffic control centers, road users, road authorities, road operators, etc. exchange and share information based on a common communication architecture ― known as the ITS station reference architecture ― supporting all types of ITS use cases over a diversity of access technologies (11p, 11n, 3G/4G, infra-red, ...). The building blocks of the ITS station are specified within ISO, ETSI, IETF and IEEE. To promote the deployment of Cooperative ITS and to encourage further research on it, we introduce an open-source software combining IPv6 and GeoNetworking which are two essential building blocks of the ITS station. It comprises the GeoNetworking protocol, the GN6 adaptation sub-layer (GN6ASL) and the test tools of Basic Transport Protocol (BTP). We implemented each module separately to facilitate the analysis and modification of the protocol behavior and provided a library for inter-process communication between the modules to allow extensibility. Our participation to Cooperative ITS plug tests organized by ETSI demonstrates that our implementation complies to the Cooperative ITS standards while a basic performance evaluation shows that overhead from our implementation design is limited.

There are some issues on performance evaluations of vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET). Lots of ex- periments, which were related with physical layer (L1) and MAC layer (L2), were carried out. On the contrary, performance evaluations of multi-hop communication were not enough to show its features. The reason is lack of measurement tools, and ordinary these tools measure end-to-end performances. Performances of multi-hop communication is important because this kind of communication is assumed on VANET. To reveal the features of communication performances on VANET, IMARA project has developed a measurement tool called ’AnaVANET’. In this paper, I introduce ’AnaVANET’ and show its problems. I propose a new data formant considering the features of VANET to solve the problems of ’AnaVANET’. I also show the implementation of the proposed formant. The implementation reduces cost of communication analysis.
