Vehicle GENI Testbed: Challenges and ExperimentsWINLAB, March27 2007 Break out Moderator, Mario Gerla UCLA
Vehicle/Mobile/DTN Break out session • Participants • Mario Gerla, gerla@cs.ucla.edu (moderator) • Liviu Iftode iftode@cs.rutgers.edu • Marco Gruteser gruteser@winlab.rutgers.edu • Brian Levine brian@cs.umass.edu • K. Ramachandran kishore@winlab.rutgers.edu
Why Vehicles Communications? • Traditional Internet access: • Web access; File transfers; telcons; Messaging • Opportunistic extension of the internet • Content/entertainment delivery/sharing: • Music, news, video, TV, etc • Local ads, tourist information, games, etc • Safe navigation: • Forward Collision Warning, Intersection Collision Warning, Emergency recovery • Environment sensing/monitoring: • Traffic monitoring, Pollution probing • Pervasive urban surveillance
Support from the Internet: Functions and Challenges • Mobility support • Location tracking; Geo Location Service • User profiling • Vehicle data traffic/routing management • Least Cost Routing: vehicle grid or infrastructure • Inter AP/cell connectivity awareness • Congestion monitoring/protection • Path Quality estimation • Intermittent vehicle connectivity support (DTN) • Destination temporarily disconnected; • Internet stores/forwards (Cache Forward Net) ; • Security authentication (PKI) support • Certificate authority; Tracking trouble makers across the continent.. • Vehicle network monitoring/management • When Infrastructure fails (eg. Katrina) switchover to Vehicle Grid standalone operation
GENI Experiment Examples • Geo Location Service • Infrastructure Routing Support • Centralized Security • Applications: • Car torrent • Urban sensing • Emergency Urban Evacuation
Supporting Geo Location Service • Why Geo-routing? • Most scalable (no state needed in routers) • GPS readily available; local coordinates used in blind areas (tunnels, parking lots, urban canyons) • Geo Location Service • First option: Infrastructure overlay support • Distributed implementation backup (eg GHT) • Other option: transparent Internet geo route support in virtualized router
Infrastructure based Overlay Location Service (OLS) Vehicular ID hashed into overlay DHT Mapping: Vehicular ID <=> location
Georouting through the infrastructure • IPv6 addressing (xy coordinates in header extension) • How to make the system resilient to failures/attacks? • If access points fail, use GLS implemented in grid
Infrastructure routing support The trade off: grid short paths vs Internet fast wires • Baseline:Shortest path routing • Short connections should go grid • Packets to remote destinations on infrastructure • Enhanced:Access Points and Overlay assist in the decision • Propagation of congestion info from Overlay to wireless using 3 hop beaconing (say) every second
Appl #1: Co-operative Download-Car Torrent Internet Vehicle-Vehicle Communication Exchanging Pieces of File Later
Appl #2 Accident Scenario (cont) • Designated Cars (eg, busses, taxicabs, UPS, police agents, etc): • Continuously collect images on the street (store data locally) • Process the data and detectan event • Classify the event asMeta-data(Type, Option, Location, Vehicle ID) • Post it on distributed index -> Epidemic Dissemination • Police retrieve data from designated cars Meta-data : Img, -. (10,10), V10
Appl#3 Evacuation Scenario • Dense urban area evacuated because of attack or natural disaster • Infrastructure obliterated - must rely on Car to Car communications • Evacuation of vehicles and people • Static evacuation plans will not work in hostile attacks • Distributed sensing of damage and road availability • Distributed, collaborative evacuation strategy computation
GENI Vehicle Testbed - Experiments Premise: testbed relies on GENI Infrastructure GENI relevant Experiments (a first cut): • Mobility support: • Mobility support depends on addressing/routing used • Geo Location service • Mobile OSPF • Routing support • Exploiting different radio media (802.11p,WiFi, Cellular, WiMAX, etc) • Density/ intermittence monitoring (from AP’s) • Congestion monitoring • Security support - how costly, how fast.. • End to end applications involving the Internet • Entertainment; (eg, content sharing) games; web access
GENI Vehicle Testbed - requirements How many vehicles: • A few suffice for propagation, geo location service; • Larger numbers for epidemic dissemination; DTN • GENI program will provide 100’s nodes • Added scalability using simulation/emulation • Vehicle fleet deployment: • Scheduled Public transport; eg DieselNet (predictable, to some extent) • Unscheduled public transport; eg CarTel (taxicabs); UPS; Campus facility vehicles - Incentives?? • Customized experiments (can specify the route) • Augment the above with stationary nodes • Access to Infrastructure: open access AP’s or coexisting mesh testbed
GENI Vehicle Testbed - requirements (cont) • Various applications/mobility patterns • Combination of small scale testbed experiments + simulation • Example: content sharing - must use realistic motion traffic model; • same for epidemic dissemination to handle DTN situations • Third party participation: • Remote access through web interface • Remote testbed interconnection • Experiments using multiple providers • Necessary for experiment control (eg GPRS, EVDO, etc) • Experiment set up/Measurement collection • Control will depend on type of vehicle fleet • Virtualization/slicing • To support & compare multiple protocols/algorithms

Vehicle Fleet • We plan to install our node equipment in: • A dozen private cars: customized experiments • Up to 50 Campus operated vehicles (including shuttles and facility management trucks). • “on a schedule” and “random” mobility; cross campus via 10 AP’s • Up to 50 Communing Vans • Measure freeway motion patterns (only tracking equipment installed)
The U-Box Node: • In the final deployment: • Industrial PC (Linux OS) • 2 x WLAN Interfaces • 1 Software Defined Radio (FPGA based) Interface • 1 Control Channel • 1 GPS • Current proof of concept: • 1 Dell Latitude Laptop (Windows) • 1 WLAN Interface • 1 GPS • OLSR Used for the Demo
