1. A forwarding method for data broadcast reduction in a Vehicle Named Data Networking (VNDN), the method comprising:
(a) setting name centrality (NameCent) count data with respect to an interest packet received by a node of the VNDN;
(b) measuring, by a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a power level of signal received from an access point (AP) or any other vehicle in wireless communication;
(c) calculating a weight of the interest packet for a data forwarder in a current node or a previous node based on the name centrality (NameCent) count data and signal strength measured by the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI); and
(d) determining a potential forwarder of a data packet by comparison of variables of the weight calculated in step (c),
wherein, in step (c), each weight is calculated with logic of the following equation:
![]() (where, Win denotes weight of requested prefix (n) of forwarder (i), RSSIFin denotes value of received signal strength indicator, RSSImax denotes maximum value of received signal strength indicator, NameCentFin denotes name centrality count value of requested prefix (n) of forwarder (i), NameCentmax denotes maximum name centrality count value of requested prefix (n) of forwarder (i), and a denotes weight factor).
