Efficient Algorithms to Enhance Recovery Schema in Link State Protocols
With the increasing demands for real-time applications traffic in net- works
such as video and voice a high convergence time for the existing routing
protocols when failure occurred is required. These applications can be very
sensitive to packet loss when link/node goes down. In this paper, we propose
two algorithms schemas for the link state protocol to reroute the traffic in
two states; first, pre-calculated an alternative and disjoint path with the
primary one from the source to the destination by re-routing traffic through
it, regardless of the locations of failure and the number of failed links.
Second, rerouting the traffic via an alternative path from a node whose local
link is down without the need to wait until the source node knows about the
failure. This is achieved by creating a new backup routing table based on the
original routing table which is computed by the dijkstra algorithm. The goal of
these algorithms is to reduce loss of packets, end-to-end delay time, improve
throughput and avoiding local loop when nodes re-converge the topology in case
of failure.Comment: 15 page
An Adaptive Information Quantity-Based Broadcast Protocol for Safety Services in VANET
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication plays a significantly important role in implementing safe and efficient road traffic. When disseminating safety messages in the network, the information quantity on safety packets changes over time and space. However, most of existing protocols view each packet the same to disseminate, preventing vehicles from collecting more recent and precise safety information. Hence, an information quantity-based broadcast protocol is proposed in this paper to ensure the efficiency of safety messages dissemination. In particular, we propose the concept of emergency-degree to evaluate packets' information quantity. Then we present EDCast, an emergency-degree-based broadcast protocol. EDCast differentiates each packet's priority for accessing the channel based on its emergency-degree so as to provide vehicles with more safety information timely and accurately. In addition, an adaptive scheme is presented to ensure fast dissemination of messages in different network condition. We compare the performance of EDCast with those of three other representative protocols in a typical highway scenario. Simulation results indicate that EDCast achieves higher broadcast efficiency and less redundancy with less delivery delay. What we found demonstrates that it is feasible and necessary for incorporating information quantity of messages in designing an efficient safety message broadcast protocol
