Position-Based Emergency Message Dissemination Schemes in the Internet of Vehicles: A Review

Abstract

In recent years researchers have shown significant interest in vehicular networks to augment road safety by providing real-time messaging services among vehicles. This work aims to provide a detailed analysis of emergency message dissemination techniques for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). We explored position-based data dissemination techniques for emergency message dissemination, which is considered the best routing method because it does not rely on predestination entries of the route. Position-based schemes encounter some challenges, such as delay and accurate positioning. Existing survey papers of IoV focused on architecture, technologies, and layers. However, this article examines a brief comparison of subtypes of position-based emergency message routing, beacon-oriented and beacon-less techniques. In the end, we presented the basic challenges of emergency message dissemination; moreover, future directions are highlighted to promote the development of new protocols for emergency message dissemination to enhance the efficiency of IoV in a better way.
