Poster: Lagrange-Based Optimized Forwarding Strategy for Information-Centric Vehicular Networks

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are characterized by high mobility, dynamic topology changes, and unstable connections, and additionally, they require stringent communication requirements. To make VANET communication more efficient, this poster proposes a Lagrange-based optimized forwarding strategy (LOFS) for information-centric VANETs. The LOFS accounts for several parameters, including link expiration time (LET), link congestion, quality of service (QoS), and traffic conditions to select the next vehicle for Interest and Data packet forwarding. In addition, LOFS mitigates the broadcast storm problem of the existing multicast forwarding strategy, designed for information-centric VANETs.
