Abstract

Stemming from the recent evolutionary progress of the 5G wireless communication and Internet of Things (IoT) relevant technologies, the vision of the Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoCV) has become more apparent. On the basis of the state-of-the-art IoCV conceptual implementations, the location of the vehicles is one of the essential driven data of IoCV, and the location privacy issue needs to be taken into account. However, when scrutinizing into IoCV, noticeable challenges of location-aware scenario has raised. For IoCV, location is more than just query criteria like in Location-based Services (LBSs) of mobile Internet. It is also the underpinning data of various types of IoCV underlying mechanisms and functions. This difference makes preserving location privacy in IoCV quite different from the traditional privacy scenarios. In this paper, an overall analysis of end-user location privacy in IoCV was performed. To solve the location privacy dilemma, we proposed an intent prediction-based approach named LocJury, which benefits from the emerging concept of Intent-based Networking (IBN). LocJury provides location privacy by learning and estimate the intent of location access and will penalize those malicious location accesses. By simulating the conceptual IBN-based IoCV application scenario, which relies on the location accesses, the performance of LocJury is evaluated under various circumstances. The simulation result verified the effectiveness of our proposed method.
