Software-Defined Network-Based Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks: A Comprehensive Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Software Defined Networking for Ad Hoc Networks

Part of the book series: EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing ((EAISICC))

Abstract

Traditional networks, which are both complex and inflexible, are being challenged by the digital society as it advances. A programmable and flexible network that has recently captured the attention of both research communities and businesses, known as software-defined networking (SDN), first emerged in this context. Vehicular networks and software-defined networking (SDN) are important enabling technologies for 5G network deployments. Many researchers have examined SDN and VANET integration, looking at architectures, the usefulness of software-defined VANET services, and all the additional features that can be implemented. While the overall architecture’s security and robustness are questionable, few if any measures have been taken to secure and reinforce the specific pieces of the architecture. Adding to everything else, security threats and vulnerabilities are created when new entities and architectural components are deployed and integrated.
