Internet of Vehicle Layered Architecture and Network Model

Abstract

Nowadays most people and manufacturers willing to facilitate their life by applying the new technology, which is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a multidisciplinary model that allows and grants everything with connectivity property. Internet of Vehicles (IoV), a modern IoT, is a communication system between vehicles and networks, which boosts the vehicles to be intelligent by connecting to the internet and providing different mobile application services. This paper reviews the prevalent and emerging IoV paradigms and network layered architectures, with an emphasis on their functions, and main elements in the network model. Then how the IoV ecosystem works as a network model from sensing, gathering, storing and processing the collected information, and finally accessing the service is proposed in a new Contemporary architecture of the IoV model (CIoV). CIoV consists of four layers namely client layer, communication layer, a cloud layer, and cater a service layer. CIoV is approached in light of the main functions of the IoV ecosystem, which can be implemented for different and heterogeneous communication models. Finally, based on a case study the CIoV protocol stack is discussed for each layer in the architecture by considering operational and security planes. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
