| dc.description.abstract | Future networks will comprise a wide variety of wireless networks. Users will expect to be always connected from any location, and, as users move, connections will be switched to available networks using vertical handover techniques. The current approach of the operators is a centralized network, and the mobility management is done at the infrastructure level. The decentralized mobility management is another approach developed in many researches, however, not widely deployed. We are interested in this type of decentralized mobility management, especially in a highly dynamic environment when the network topology changes frequently. We choose a particular case study, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), which are a new emerging network technology derived from ad-hoc networks and are an example of future networks. In the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), communications without a wire between vehicles (V2V) appear as an accident prevention solution offering a wider vision than conventional sensors. By linking vehicles to telecommunications network (V2I), new perspectives are offered both passengers and driver with conventional communication applications such as access Internet, e-learning, games or chat. This means that future mobile networks like VANETs will have to integrate communications, mobility, Quality of Service (QoS) and security. We mainly interested in three issues: mobility, QoS and security. These three issues are intrinsic to vehicles on motorway networks. We need to simultaneously manage QoS and security while taking into account users mobility. In this thesis, we propose to contribute on how to improve security without degrading the quality of service QoS in a highly mobile environment as VANETs networks. To answer this research question, we use simulations and experiments. Simulation using Network Simulator 2 (NS2) will be used to show that security schemes have significant impacts on the throughput QoS, and our proposed schemes can substantially improve the effective secure throughput with cooperative communications. | pt_PT |
