Abstract

This chapter will propose an improved version of the AIR-RSU framework, introduced in all aerial relay-RSUs, i.e., RRSU nodes, to assess incoming traffic requests from various vehicle nodes across the transportation environment and enable safe data access to services. The enhanced AIR-RSU framework consists of three subsystems: (1) Network Measurement: determining the state of network connectivity at various time intervals, (2) Data Authentication: examine incoming data traffic requests using a unique Message Authentication Code (MAC) encoded by the broadcaster and (3) Service Classification: using the Differentiated Service (DiffServ) technique to categorize the requested service and check and provide whether the needed service is available or not with the relevant RRSU node. Furthermore, the performance towards enhanced AIR-RSU frameworks with other existing schemes uses a series of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Finally, an evaluation process listing the benefits and drawbacks of using the enhanced AIR-RSU ...
