Abstract

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) integrate communications and information technology into the transportation systems to provide a safer and more efficient driving experience. Transmission security is of vital importance for the deployment of ITS systems in practice. In this chapter, secure data dissemination techniques are studied for relay-assisted vehicular communications towards ITS applications. We first briefly review the state of the art of vehicular networking research. Afterwards, we investigate the secure data dissemination issues for both vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) scenarios exploiting the physical-layer security approach. For the V2I scenario, a distributed source-relay selection scheme with anti-eavesdropping capabilities is proposed, for which a source-relay pair is jointly selected to maximize the achievable secrecy rate. For the V2V scenario, a fountain-coding aided relaying scheme is developed. By using this scheme, transmission security is guaranteed as long as the legitimate receiver can accumulate the required number of fountain-coded packets before the eavesdropper does. To satisfy this condition, a constellation-rotation aided cooperative jamming method is utilized to deteriorate the received signal quality at the eavesdropper. To evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy, a novel metric called QoS violating probability (QVP) is further proposed and analyzed. Finally, in the concluding remarks, we summarize the main contributions of our work, and point out some topics that are worthy of investigation in future studies.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For the multisource multirelay network without eavesdroppers, the best source-relay pair is selected according to the method in [13].

  2. 2.

    We emphasize that in this section, “source packets,” “fountain packets,” and “transmitted packets” have different meanings.

  3. 3.

    In this section, the outage probability is defined as the probability that the channel capacity falls below a specified target transmission rate. This definition is the same as the one used in the information-theoretic literature.

  4. 4.

    In practice, the value of the rotation angle affects system performance such as the bit error rate. However, this work is dedicated to information-theoretic analysis. Therefore, any angle value satisfying Eq. (29) can be used and the specific choice for this parameter has no influence on the results.

  5. 5.

    It is assumed that the power of the information-bearing signal as well as the jamming signal is normalized such that \(\mathrm{E}[|t_{\mathrm {S}}|^{2}] = 1\) and \(\mathrm{E}[|w_{\mathrm {J}}^{(1)}|^{2}] = 1\). This assumption also holds for the transmitted signals during the second phase.

  6. 6.

    According to the assumptions about the available CSI at each node, \(h_{\mathrm {JR}}\) and \(h_{\mathrm {JD}}\) are unknown at E, and the impact of the jamming signals cannot be removed by the eavesdropper.

  7. 7.

    This metric can be viewed as a modification of the average end-to-end throughput defined in [61] which is suitable for evaluating the transmission efficiency of the fountain-coding based strategy. Here the original definition is modified to make it applicable to the eavesdropping environments.
