Robust, resilient and reliable architecture for V2X communication

In a robust, resilient and reliable vehicular network, the overall system must have the ability to cope with the loss of individual nodes and elements of the network. In communication networks, network robustness is mostly promoted by redundancy and the absence of a leader in the network. The new V2X paradigms may need scalability to perform well with different sizes and structures of the network. The introduction or removal of nodes must not result in a drastic change in the overall performance of the network. To perform many tasks in many different environments, the architecture must be resilient yet flexible, with broad spectrum.
