Ahn Expires June 11, 2017 [Page 1] Internet-Draft The IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Geographical December 2016 Abstract For IPv6-based ITS applications, ITS data packets are required to be delivered to a specific destination ITS node. In this draft, a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option, the IPv6 Geo-unicast Hop-by-Hop option, with the geographical information of the destination ITS node and the forwarding mechanism information is defined.

Requirements notation The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2. Introduction For the support of IPv6-based ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) applications, ITS data packets are required to be delivered based on the geographical location (longitude and latitude) information of the destination ITS node or area. We call the former geographical unicast (in short, geo-unicast). From the considerations in [Geo-Problem], in this draft, we define the new IPv6 Geo-unicast Hop-by-Hop option with the geo-location information of the destination ITS node. Also, the IPv6 Geo-unicast Hop-by-Hop option has the field for the geographical unicast mechanism from the originator to the destination ITS node. 3. Terminology ITS node A vehicle or a device that may generate ITS-related data in the form of IPv6 datagrams Geo-location The location of an ITS node represented in the form of longitude and latitude. The geo-location information is represented in the form of the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) [WGS-84] formatted coordinates. Geographical Forwarding IPv6 datagram forwarding based on the geo-location information of the source and the destination ITS node or area. Geographical unicast/broadcast and geocast belong to geographical forwarding. Geographical Unicast (Geo-unicast) IPv6 datagram forwarding based on geo-location information to a specific single target ITS node which can be a vehicle or roadside unit (RSU) or any type of an IPv6 node. Originator The source ITS node that has generated this IPv6 datagram. Ahn Expires June 11, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft The IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Geographical December 2016 Sender The previous hop ITS node that has forwarded this IPv6 datagram. 4. Hop-by-Hop Option for Geographical Unicast The format of the Geocast Hop-by-Hop option is as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Option Type | Opt Data Len | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |C|GU Type|N|E|S|O|U| Reserved | Location Uncertainty | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Timestamp | Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Destination Latitude | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Destination Longitude | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Sender Latitude | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Sender Longitude | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Originator Latitude | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Originator Longitude | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ IPv6 Source Address The Source IPv6 Address field of the IPv6 datagram is set to the IPv6 address of the originator. IPv6 Destination Address The Destination IPv6 Address field of the IPv6 datagram is set to the geo-unicast address to be assigned by IANA. Option Type The IPv6 Option Type code for IPv6 geo-unicast; to be assigned by IANA. Option Data Length The number of octets of the option data field of this option. Ahn Expires June 11, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft The IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Geographical December 2016 C Flag This indicates the geographical casting type. 'C = 0' implies geographical unicast and 'C = 1' implies geocast. Thus, in this case, C = 0. Geo-Unicast Type This indicates the geo-unicast forwarding type used for the delivery of the IPv6 datagram from the originator to the destination ITS node; e.g., Greedy Forwarding (GF) [GF], Contension-Based Forwarding (CBF) [CBF], Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR), Geographic Source Routing (GS), etc. N Flag If N = 1, it indicates the latitude is north relative to the Equator. Otherwise, it indicates the latitude is south of the Equator. E Flag If E = 1, it indicates the longitude is east of the Prime Meridian. Otherwise, it indicates the longitude is west of the Prime Meridian. S Flag If S = 1, the Sender Latitude Degree and the Sender Longitude Degree fields are specified. Otherwise, those fields do not exist. O Flag If O = 1, the Originator Latitude Degree and the Originator Longitude Degree fields are specified. Otherwise, those fields do not exist. U Flag If U = 1, the Location Unicertainty field is specified. Otherwise, the field is not specified. Reserved The reserved field for further extensions of this option. Location Unicertainty The uncertainty of the location (in centimeters). Timestamp Time when this IPv6 datagram was generated in seconds since the epoch (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970). Ahn Expires June 11, 2017 [Page 5] Internet-Draft The IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Geographical December 2016 Destination Latitude A range of 0 - 90 degrees (in 1/10 micro degrees) north or south of the Equator (northern or southern hemisphere, respectively) of the destination ITS node. Destination Longitude A range of 0 - 180 degrees (in 1/10 micro degrees) east or west of the Prime Meridian of the destination ITS node. Sender Latitude A range of 0 - 90 degrees (in 1/10 micro degrees) north or south of the Equator (northern or southern hemisphere, respectively) of the sender. Sender Longitude A range of 0 - 180 degrees (in 1/10 micro degrees)s east or west of the Prime Meridian of the sender. Originator Latitude A range of 0 - 90 degrees (in 1/10 micro degrees) north or south of the Equator (northern or southern hemisphere, respectively) of the originator. Originator Longitude A range of 0 - 180 degrees (in 1/10 micro degrees) east or west of the Prime Meridian of the originator. 5. Other Considerations TBD. References [Geo-Problem] S.
