Proposing A Data Privacy Aware Protocol for Roadside Accident Video Reporting Service Using 5G In Vehicular Cloud Networks Environment

The bandwidth hungry applications are growing drastically and soon exceeding the bandwidth limits of existing wireless communication network systems. The current increasing demand for higher capacity and data rates are therefore leading to the 5G technology thus changing the norm of communications in providing the high-speed data rate and lower latency. One of the promising technologies that avail from the 5G would be the vehicular cloud networks (VCN). A prominent service out of this 5G VCN is the roadside accident video reporting by using 5G over the cloud. This service may contain private data/information that can be compromised at any channel (from vehicles to 5G and cloud storage) due to many reasons. This service is vulnerable to security attacks due to its availability for a long time at different channels. Moreover, multiple video reporting can cause huge storage and computation issues leading to inefficient computation and storage management. Consequently, data privacy, security, data management and computing efficiency of data storage become the main challenges in roadside accident vehicular cloud network video reporting services. This research is proposing a solution based on a new protocol to address the stated issues by extending the recent research presented by Lewis protocol et al. The proposed protocol is aimed to provide good data privacy, reduces the data security attacks, improving data management and the computation efficiency at all channels.

I. Introduction

The generations of wireless communication technologies started in 1970s and gradually developing rapidly in the last five decades [1]. These generations are identified by the changes in the data traffic and data rates. The data rate is expected to be increased multiple times around 2020. The bandwidth hungry applications such as multimedia files and live High Definition (HD) video streaming are growing drastically and consuming huge data rate that they exceed the limits of the current wireless communication systems. Therefore, the current 4G wireless communication technology will not be able to meet the high demand for faster data rate [2]. The increasing demand for higher capacity and data rate are leading to intensive projects and research works toward the next generation of wireless communication network systems which is the 5G technology. The 5G is expected to be fully implemented around early 2020 [3].
