Cognitive communication device for vehicular networking

Abstract

This paper presents intelligent Communication protocols for universal access in a proposed Vehicular Networking Device. The device can communicate on multiple frequency bands using different MAC and PHY Interfaces. The device cannot use existing routing protocols as they are limited and work in relation with a unique MAC and PHY Interface. This paper presents the communication protocols and vehicular device that extends the routing protocols to work as a Cognitive layer over multiple MAC and PHY Interface for optimum connectivity, seamless switching and Quality of Service parameters. The device is tested with three extended routing protocols AODV-MI, GOLSR-MI and SORP. The device incorporates integrated multi telecommunication technologies like GSM, Satellite, VHF, UHF, HF, Broadband Wireless and wired links.
