In Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) networks that involve multi-hop communication, the Road Side Units (RSUs) typically desire to gather the location information of the participating vehicles to provide security and network-diagnostics features. Although Global Positioning System (GPS) based localization is widely used by vehicles for navigation; they may not forward their exact GPS coordinates to the RSUs due to privacy issues. Therefore, to balance the high-localization requirements of RSU and the privacy of the vehicles, we demonstrate a new spatial-provenance framework wherein the vehicles agree to compromise their privacy to a certain extent and share a low-precision variant of its coordinates in agreement with the demands of the RSU. To study the deployment feasibility of the proposed framework in state-of-the-art wireless standards, we propose a testbed of ZigBee and LoRa devices and implement the underlying protocols on their stack using correlated Bloom filters and Rake compression algorithms. Our demonstrations reveal that low-to-moderate precision localization can be achieved in fewer packets, thus making an appealing case for next-generation vehicular networks to include our methods for providing real-time security and network-diagnostics features.
