Using Delay Tolerant Networks for Car2Car communications

In this paper we identify and discuss the main issues and challenges to implement a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) to allow multi-hop Car2Car (C2C) -also known as Vehicle2Vehicle (V2V)- and car2infrastructure (C2I) communications. C2C communications are designed to increase automobile security and comfort, but a single hop is not enough [1]. Efficient network layers are necessary to overcome these limitations.
