Abstract

Software-defined vehicular networks (SDVN) is a promising technology to overcome the limitations of current vehicular networking. However, existing vehicular routing schemes are not equipped to handle communication in SDVNs. In addition, routing schemes in SDVNs, in general, has been lightly addressed in the literature. To fill this gap, this article explores the potential of SDVNs from the aspect of routing and studies the design principles of routing schemes in SDVNs and classifies the current routing solutions based on different criteria. SDVN routing schemes are then compared through comprehensive analysis, and key open issues and opportunities for future research directions are discussed.
