    Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) has quickly become an important aspect of the intelligent transport system (ITS), which is a combination of information technology, and transport works to improve efficiency and safety through data gathering and dissemination. However, transmitting data over an ad-hoc network comes with several issues such as broadcast storms, hidden terminal problems and unreliability; these greatly reduce the efficiency of the network and hence the purpose for which it was developed. We therefore propose a system of utilising information gathered externally from the node or through the various layers of the network into the access layer of the ETSI communication stack for routing to improve the overall efficiency of data delivery, reduce hidden terminals and increase reliability. We divide route into segments and design a set of metric system to select a controlling node as well as procedure for data transfer. Furthermore we propose a system for faster data delivery based on priority of data and density of nodes from route information while developing a map to show the communication situation of an area. These metrics and algorithms will be simulated in further research using the NS-3 environment to demonstrate the effectiveness

    Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) enable efficient communication between vehicles with the aim of improving road safety. However, the growing number of vehicles in dense regions and obstacle shadowing regions like Manhattan and other downtown areas leads to frequent disconnection problems resulting in disrupted radio wave propagation between vehicles. To address this issue and to transmit critical messages between vehicles and drones deployed from service vehicles to overcome road incidents and obstacles, we proposed a hybrid technique based on fog computing called Hybrid-Vehfog to disseminate messages in obstacle shadowing regions, and multi-hop technique to disseminate messages in non-obstacle shadowing regions. Our proposed algorithm dynamically adapts to changes in an environment and benefits in efficiency with robust drone deployment capability as needed. Performance of Hybrid-Vehfog is carried out in Network Simulator (NS-2) and Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) simulators. The results showed that Hybrid-Vehfog outperformed Cloud-assisted Message Downlink Dissemination Scheme (CMDS), Cross-Layer Broadcast Protocol (CLBP), PEer-to-Peer protocol for Allocated REsource (PrEPARE), Fog-Named Data Networking (NDN) with mobility, and flooding schemes at all vehicle densities and simulation times

    An Efficient Cross-Layer Design for Multi-hop Broadcast of Emergency Warning Messages in Vehicular Networks

    International audienceThe main objective of Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is to make road transportation systems more intelligent in order to anticipate and avoid dangerous, potentially life-threatening situations. Due to its promising safety applications, this type of network has attracted a lot of attention in the research community. The dissemination of warning messages, such as DENMs (Decentralized Environmental Notification Messages), requirse an efficient and robust routing protocol. In previous studies, the active signaling mechanism has shown its ability to prevent collisions between users trying to allocate the same resource. In this paper, we propose an original message forwarding strategy based on the active signaling mechanism. Our proposal disseminates warning messages from a source vehicle to the rest of the network while minimizing the access delay and the number of relay nodes. For this purpose, a special time slot is dedicated to forwarding emergency warning messages. To avoid access collisions on this slot, the active signaling scheme we propose favours the selection of the furthest node as the forwarder. We carry out a number of simulations and comparisons to evaluate the performances of the scheme

    VANET topology is very dynamic due to frequent movements of the nodes. Using beacon information connected dominated set are formed and nodes further enhanced with neighbor elimination scheme. With acknowledgement the inter section issues are solve. A modified Broadcast Conquest and Delay De-synchronization mechanism address the broadcasting storm issues. Although data dissemination is possible in all direction, the performance of data dissemination in the opposite direction is investigated and compared against the existing protocols

    Infocast: A New Paradigm for Collaborative Content Distribution from Roadside Units to Vehicular Networks Using Rateless Codes

    Full text link
    In this paper, we address the problem of distributing a large amount of bulk data to a sparse vehicular network from roadside infostations, using efficient vehicle-to-vehicle collaboration. Due to the highly dynamic nature of the underlying vehicular network topology, we depart from architectures requiring centralized coordination, reliable MAC scheduling, or global network state knowledge, and instead adopt a distributed paradigm with simple protocols. In other words, we investigate the problem of reliable dissemination from multiple sources when each node in the network shares a limited amount of its resources for cooperating with others. By using \emph{rateless} coding at the Road Side Unit (RSU) and using vehicles as data carriers, we describe an efficient way to achieve reliable dissemination to all nodes (even disconnected clusters in the network). In the nutshell, we explore vehicles as mobile storage devices. We then develop a method to keep the density of the rateless codes packets as a function of distance from the RSU at the desired level set for the target decoding distance. We investigate various tradeoffs involving buffer size, maximum capacity, and the mobility parameter of the vehicles

    A SURVEY ON TOPOLOGY-BASED MESSAGE BROADCAST SCHEMES IN VEHICULAR NETWORKS

    Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are subclass of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). They have been the most promising research field and development for the last few years. VANETs use vehicles as mobile nodes to provide communication among nearby vehicles and between vehicles and nearby roadside equipment. VANETs come with several challenging characteristics, such as dynamic and potentially large scale network topology, high mobility and intermittent connectivity of vehicular nodes, and broadcasting as the predominant communication to disseminate the safety messages. When a traffic accident happens, the safety message should be broadcasted to all vehicles in the area exposed to potential hazard. Recently, there have been a significant number of broadcasting protocols for VANETs reported in the literature. In this survey paper we provide an overview of topology-based broadcasting protocols and associated requirements, along with challenges and their proposed current and past major solutions. In addition, classification and comparison of topology-based broadcasting protocols are described from their pros and cons. Featured solutions in this domain are categorized and discussed

    Network parameters impact on dynamic transmission power control in vehicular ad hoc networks

    International audienceIn vehicular ad hoc networks, the dynamic change in transmission power is very effective to increase the throughput of the wireless vehicular network and decrease the delay of the message communication between vehicular nodes on the highway. Whenever an event occurs on the highway, the reliability of the communication in the vehicular network becomes so vital so that event created messages should reach to all the moving network nodes. It becomes necessary that there should be no interference from outside of the network and all the neighbor nodes should lie in the transmission range of the reference vehicular node. Transmission range is directly proportional to the transmission power the moving node. If the transmission power will be high, the interference increases that can cause higher delay in message reception at receiver end, hence the performance of the network decreased. In this paper, it is analyzed that how transmission power can be controlled by considering other different parameter of the network such as; density, distance between moving nodes, different types of messages dissemination with their priority, selection of an antenna also affects the transmission power. The dynamic control of transmission power in VANET serves also for the optimization of the resources where it needs, can be decreased and increased depending on the circumstances of the network. Different applications and events of different types also cause changes in transmission power to enhance the reachability. The analysis in this paper is comprised of density, distance with single hop and multi hop message broadcasting based dynamic transmission power control as well as antenna selection and applications based. Some summarized tables are produced according to the respective parameters of the vehicular network. At the end some valuable observations are made and discussed in detail

    Benets of tight coupled architectures for the integration of GNSS receiver and Vanet transceiver

    Vehicular adhoc networks (VANETs) are one emerging type of networks that will enable a broad range of applications such as public safety, traffic management, traveler information support and entertain ment. Whether wireless access may be asynchronous or synchronous (respectively as in the upcoming IEEE 8021.11p standard or in some alternative emerging solutions), a synchronization among nodes is required. Moreover, the information on position is needed to let vehicular services work and to correctly forward the messages. As a result, timing and positioning are a strong prerequisite of VANETs. Also the diffusion of enhanced GNSS Navigators paves the way to the integration between GNSS receivers and VANET transceiv ers. This position paper presents an analysis on potential benefits coming from a tightcoupling between the two: the dissertation is meant to show to what extent Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services could benefit from the proposed architectur
