Introduction Recently, Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) have been focusing on intelligent services in road networks, such as driving safety, efficient driving, and entertainment. For this VANET, Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) [DSRC-WAVE] has been standardized as IEEE 802.11p [IEEE-802.11p], which is an extension of IEEE 802.11a [IEEE-802.11a] with a consideration of the vehicular network's characteristics such as a vehicle's velocity and collision avoidance. Now the deployment of VANET is demanded into real road environments along with the popularity of smart devices (e.g., smartphone and tablet). Many automobile vendors (e.g., Benz, BMW, Ford, Honda, and Toyota) started to consider automobiles as computers instead of mechanical machines since many current vehicles are operating with many sensors and software. Also, Google made a great advancement in self-driving vehicles with many special software modules and hardware devices to support computer-vision-based object recognition, machine- learning-based decision-making, and GPS navigation. With this trend, vehicular networking needs to be enabled on top of TCP/IP technologies in order to interoperate with the Internet. IPv6 [RFC2460] is suitable for vehicular networks since the protocol has abundant address space, autoconfiguration features, and protocol extension ability through extension headers. This document specifies the problem statement of IPv6-based vehicle- to-infrastructure (V2I) networking, such as IPv6 addressing [RFC4291], neighbor discovery [RFC4861], address autoconfiguration [RFC4862], and DNS naming service [RFC6106][RFC3646][ID-DNSNA]. Also, the document analyzes the characteristics of vehicular networks to consider the design of V2I networking. 2. Requirements Language 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 3. Terminology This document uses the terminology described in [RFC4861] and [RFC4862]. In addition, four new terms are defined below: o Road-Side Unit (RSU): A node that has a Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) device for wireless communications with the vehicles and is connected to the Internet. Every RSU is usually deployed at an intersection so that it can provide vehicles with Jeong & Oh Expires August 18, 2016 [Page 3] Internet-Draft V2I Problem Statement February 2016 the Internet connectivity. o Vehicle: A node that has the DSRC device for wireless communications with vehicles and RSUs. Every vehicle may also have a GPS-navigation system for efficient driving. o Traffic Control Center (TCC): A node that maintains road infrastructure information (e.g., RSUs and traffic signals), vehicular traffic statistics (e.g., average vehicle speed and vehicle inter-arrival time per road segment), and vehicle information (e.g., a vehicle's identifier, position, direction, speed, and trajectory). TCC is included in a vehicular cloud for vehicular networks. 4. Overview This document specifies the problem statement of vehicle-to- infrastructure (V2I) networking based on IPv6. The main focus is one-hop networking between a vehicle and an RSU or between vehicles via an RSU. However, this document does not address multi-hop networking scenarios of vehicles and RSUs. Also, the problems focus on the network layer (i.e., IPv6 protocol stack) rather than the media access control (MAC) layer and the transport layer (e.g., TCP, UDP, and SCTP). *-------------* * * .-------. * Vehicular Cloud *<------>| TCC | * * ._______. *-------------* ^ ^ | | | | v v .--------. .--------. | RSU1 |<----------->| RSU2 | .________. .________. ^ ^ ^ . . . . . . v v v .--------. .--------. .--------. |Vehicle1|=> |Vehicle2|=> |Vehicle3|=> .________. .________. .________. <----> Wired Link <....> Wireless Link => Moving Direction Figure 1: The Network Configuration for V2I Networking Jeong & Oh Expires August 18, 2016 [Page 4] Internet-Draft V2I Problem Statement February 2016 Figure 1 shows the network configuration for V2I networking in a road network. The two RSUs (RSU1 and RSU2) are deployed in the road network and are connected to the Vehicular Cloud through the Internet. The TCC is connected to the Vehicular Cloud and the two vehicles (Vehicle1 and Vehicle2) are wirelessly connected to RSU1, and the last vehicle (Vehicle3) is wirelessly connected to RSU2. Vehicle1 can communicate with Vehicle2 via RSU1. Vehicle1 can communicate with Vehicle3 via RSU1 and RSU2.

Vehicle1 (Mobile Network1) RSU1 (Infra-node Network1) <----> Wired Link <....> Wireless Link (*) Antenna Figure 2: Internetworking between Vehicle Network and RSU Network Figure 2 shows internetworking between the vehicle's mobile network and the RSU's infra-node network. There exists an internal network (Mobile Network1), which is located inside Vehicle1. Vehicle1 has the DNS Server (RDNSS1), the two hosts (Host1 and Host2), and the two routers (Router1 and Router2). The internal network (Infra-node Network1) is located inside RSU1. RSU1 has the DNS Server (RDNSS2), one host (Host3), the two routers (Router3 and Router4), and the collection of servers (Server1 to ServerN) for various services in the road networks, such as the emergency notification and navigation. Vehicle1's Router1 and RSU1's Router3 use 2001:3000:1::/64 for an Jeong & Oh Expires August 18, 2016 [Page 5] Internet-Draft V2I Problem Statement February 2016 external link (e.g., DSRC) for I2V networking. This document addresses the internetworking between the vehicle's mobile network and the RSU's infra-node network in Figure 2 and the required enhancement of IPv6 protocol suite for the V2I networking service. 5. Internetworking between the Vehicle and RSU Networks This section discusses the internetworking between the vehicle's mobile network and the RSU's infra-node network. As shown in Figure 2, it is assumed that the prefix assignment for each subnet inside the vehicle's mobile network and the RSU's infra-node network through a prefix delegation protocol. Problems are a prefix discovery and prefix exchange. The prefix discovery is defined as how routers in a mobile network discover prefixes in the mobile network. The prefix exchange is defined as how the vehicle and the RSU exchange their prefixes with each other. Once these prefix discovery and prefix exchange are established, the unicast of packets should be supported between the vehicle's mobile network and the RSU's infra-node network. Also, the DNS naming service should be supported for the DNS name resolution for a host or server in either the vehicle's mobile network or the RSU's infra-node network. 6. IPv6 Addressing This section discusses IP addressing for V2I networking. There are two policies for IPv6 addressing in vehicular networks. The one policy is to use site-local IPv6 addresses for vehicular networks [RFC4291]. The other policy is to use global IPv6 addresses for the interoperability with the Internet [RFC4291]. The former approach is usually used by Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) for a separate multi- link subnet. This approach can support the emergency notification service and navigation service in road networks. However, for general Internet services (e.g., email access, web surfing and entertainment services), the latter approach is required. For the global IP addresses, there are two policies, which are a multi-link subnet approach for multiple RSUs and a single subnet approach per RSU. In the multi-link subnet approach, which is similar to a site-local IPv6 address for MANET, RSUs play a role of L2 switches and the router interconnected with the RSUs is required. The router maintains the location of each vehicle belonging to an RSU for L2 switching. In the single subnet approach per RSU, which is similar to the legacy subnet in the Internet, RSUs play a role of L3 router. Jeong & Oh Expires August 18, 2016 [Page 6] Internet-Draft V2I Problem Statement February 2016 7. Neighbor Discovery The Neighbor Discovery (ND) is a core part of IPv6 protocol suite [RFC4861]. This section discusses the extension of ND for V2I networking. The vehicles are moving fast within the communication coverage of an RSU. For the external link between the vehicle and the RSU for V2I networking, as shown in Figure 2, ND time-related parameters such as router lifetime and Neighbor Advertisement interval should be adjusted for high-speed vehicles. 8. IP Address Autoconfiguration This section discusses the IP address autoconfiguration for V2I networking. For the IP address autoconfiguration, the high-speed vehicles should also be considered. The legacy IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration [RFC4862], as shown in Figure 1, may not perform well because vehicles can pass through the communication coverage of the RSU before the address autoconfiguration with the Router Advertisement and Duplicate Address Detection procedures. DHCPv6 (or Stateless DHCPv6) can be used for the IP address autoconfiguration [RFC3315][RFC3736]. In the case of a single subnet per RSU, the delay to change IPv6 address through DHCPv6 procedure is not suitable since vehicles move fast. Some modifications are required for the high-speed vehicles that quickly crosses the communication coverages of multiple RSUs. Some modifications are required for both stateless address autoconfiguration and DHCPv6. 9. DNS Naming Service This section discusses a DNS naming service for V2I networking. The DNS naming service can consist of the DNS name resolution and DNS name autoconfiguration. The DNS name resolution translates a DNS name into the corresponding IPv6 address through a recursive DNS server (RDNSS) within the vehicle's mobile network and DNS servers in the Internet [RFC1034][RFC1035], which are distributed in the world. The RDNSSes can be advertised by RA DNS Option or DHCP DNS Option into the subnets within the vehicle's mobile network. The DNS name autoconfiguration makes a unique DNS name for hosts within a vehicle's mobile network and registers it into a DNS server within the vehicle's mobile network [ID-DNSNA]. With Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), a unique DNS suffix can be constructed as a DNS domain for the vehicle's mobile network. Each host can generate its DNS name and register it into the local RDNSS in the vehicle's mobile network. Jeong & Oh Expires August 18, 2016 [Page 7] Internet-Draft V2I Problem Statement February 2016 10. IP Mobility Support This section discusses an IP mobility support in V2I networking. In a single subnet per RSU, vehicles keep crossing the communication coverages of adjacent RSUs. During this crossing, TCP/UDP sessions can be maintained through IP mobility support, such as Mobile IPv6 [RFC6275]. Since vehicles move fast along roadways, this high speed should be configured for a parameter configuration in Mobile IPv6. To support the mobility of a vehicle's mobile network, Network Mobility (NEMO) protocol can be used [RFC3963]. Like Mobile IPv6, the high speed of vehicles should be considered for a parameter configuration in NEMO. 11. Security Considerations The security is very important in vehicular networks for V2I networking. Only valid vehicles should be allowed to use V2I networking in vehicular networks. VIN and a user certificate can be used to authenticate a vehicle and the user. This document shares all the security issues of the neighbor discovery protocol. This document can get benefits from secure neighbor discovery (SEND) [RFC3971] 12.
