Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for providing improved privacy protection against vehicle tracking for connected vehicles of a vehicular network. For example, at least one road side unit may: identify a set of vehicles that require pseudonym changes and send an invitation for a pseudonym change event to each of the vehicles, determine at least a total number of the acceptances, determine whether the total number meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold number, send acknowledgement messages to the accepting vehicles if the threshold number is met, and form a vehicle group to coordinate the pseudonym change event during a privacy period. During the privacy period, the RSU and the vehicles may communicate with each other in a confidential and private manner via key-session-based unicast transmission, and coordinate transmission power and vehicle trajectory adjustments to maximize the benefits for safety and obfuscation for privacy.
