车联社会网络综述

Vehicular social network:a survey

车联社会网络是一种融合了社会科学与无线通信技术的移动通信网络,旨在为车载用户提供基于社会关系的数据投递服务。在分析国内外移动社会网络及车载网络研究现状基础上,提出了车联社会网络的基本架构及其典型应用,深入分析了车载网络与社会网络之间的关系,探讨了车联社会网络中信息投递、带宽分配、分布式存储和安全隐私等技术中存在的关键问题及其解决策略,最后讨论了该领域中新的研究方向与挑战。

Combining techniques of social networks and wireless communications,vehicular social network（VSN） aim to provide a variety of data delivery services based on the social relationship among vehicle users.With the extensive survey and analysis of existing research work on mobile social network（MSN） and vehicle networks,the architecture and applications of vehicular social network（VSN） as well as the relationship between vehicle networks and social network from a technical viewpoint are presented.The key technologies in VSN are summarized,including the problems and solutions in terms of information delivery,bandwidth allocation,distributed caching,security and privacy.Moreover,future research directions and challenges are presented.
