Reputation-Based Stable Grouping Strategy for Holistic Content Distribution in IoV

The development of vehicles and portable advancements for wireless connectivity among vehicles has carried new difficulties to the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). So as to precisely find vehicles and rapidly process information for reducing the pressure of reliable communication, grouping techniques are desirable in order to ensure that portable stations and terminals residing at roadsides can easily make use of maximum transmission opportunity. In literature, vast amount of researchers have considered grouping paradigm for reliable information dissemination, yet we have incorporated the data reputation-based stable and secure grouping strategy into an optimization problem that provides the QoS upper bounds for better system performance. Our proposed grouping paradigm is modeled into a simulative platform considering the mobility simulator SUMO and network simulator NS3 aiming to reduce overhead.
