Urban Grid “opportunistic” ad hoc networking From Wireless to Wired network Via Multihop
Opportunistic piggy rides in the urban mesh • Pedestrian transmits a large file in blocks to passing cars, busses • The carriers deliver the blocks to the hot spot

DSRC*/IEEE 802.11p : Enabler of Novel Applications • Car-Car communications at 5.9Ghz • Derived from 802.11a • three types of channels: Vehicle-Vehicle service, a Vehicle-Gateway service and a control broadcast channel . • Ad hoc mode; and infrastructure mode • 802.11p: IEEE Task Group that intends to standardize DSRC for Car-Car communications * DSRC: Dedicated Short Range Communications

CarTorrent : Opportunistic Ad Hoc networking to download large multimedia files Published 2005
You are driving to VegasYou hear of this new show on the radioVideo preview on the web (10MB)
Highway Infostation download Internet file
Incentive for “ad hoc networking” Problems: Stopping at gas station to download is a nuisance Downloading from GPRS/3G too slow and quite expensive Observation: many other drivers are interested in download sharing (like in the Internet) Solution: Co-operative P2P Downloading via Car-Torrent
CarTorrent: Basic Idea Internet Download a piece Outside Range of Gateway Transferring Piece of File from Gateway
Co-operative Download Internet Vehicle-Vehicle Communication Exchanging Pieces of File Later
Bit Torrent review • Swarming: Parallel downloads among a mesh of cooperating peers • Scalable: System capacity increases with increase in number of peers • Tracker • Handles peer discovery • Centralized Tracker, single point of failure • Observation: Might not work for Wireless scenarios, because of intermittent connectivity • Issue: Mobility increases churn of nodes participating in a download

CarTorrent: Gossip protocol A Gossip message containing Torrent ID, Chunk list and Timestamp is “propagated” by each peer Problem: how to select the peer for downloading
Peer Selection Strategies Possible selections: • 1) Rarest First:BitTorrent-like policy of searching for the rarest bitfield in your peerlist and downloading it • 2) Closest Rarest: download closest missing piece (break ties on rarity) • 3) Rarer vs Closer:weighs the rare pieces based on the distance to the closest peer who has that piece.

Why is the Car-Torrent solution attractive? • Bandwidth at the infostation is limited and “not convenient” • It can become congested if all vehicles stop • It is a nuisance as I must stop and waste time • GPRS and 3G bandwidth is also limited and expensive • The car to car bandwidth on the freeway is huge and practically unlimited! • Car to car radios already paid for by safe navigation requirement • CarTorrent transmissions are reliable - they involve only few hops (proximity routing)
