POSITION BASED ROUTING USING INTERNET CONTACT TO VANET THROUGH SATELLITE RECEIVE-ONLY TERMINAL

Abstract

The most challenging barrier to expanding connectivity of Internet to vehicle ad hoc networks is the necessity for vast proper infrastructure of roadside network. This need is problematic to meet, specifically in the early stages of vehicle network building & in zones with limited infrastructure of roadside. As a result, that solutions rely exclusively on roadside structure are unworkable. Other remedies, like cell phone networks / symmetrical communications via satellite, are also too expensive or do not deliver adequate connectivity, putting the change to a robust VANET difficulty in the later stages. We provide one method that supplements obtainable ones while avoiding the need for completely networked roadside infrastructure. To provide widespread Internet access, the approach employs satellite receive-only endpoints and a small number of (widely dispersed) wayside devices. The solution is affordable, gradual, and practical. We show numerous design possibilities that can be employed depending on the environment.
