Query: Towards A Simple and Efficient VDTN Routing Protocol for Data Collection
  in Smart Cities   Smart cities today can utilize Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTN) to
collect data from connected-objects in the environment for various
delay-tolerant applications. They can take advantage of the available
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructures to deliver data to the
central server. The system can also exploit multiple and diverse mobility
patterns found in cities, such as privately owned cars, taxis, public buses,
and trams, along with their Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications
capabilities. In the envisioned convergence between the ITS and V2X, we believe
that a simple and efficient routing protocol can be deployed for the
delay-tolerant data delivery, contrary to the implementation of optimized
solutions that might be resource-demanding and difficult to standardize. In
this paper, we analyzed the performances of four baseline VDTN routing
protocols, namely: Direct Delivery, First Contact, Epidemic, and Spray & Wait,
to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Our simulation results
highlighted the trade-off between distinct approaches used by those protocols
and pointed out some gaps that can be refined. This study provides new
interesting ideas and arguments towards developing a simple, efficient, and
high-performing routing protocol for data collection in smart cities.
