Exploiting Map Topology Knowledge for Context-predictive Multi-interface Car-to-cloud Communication
While the automotive industry is currently facing a contest among different
communication technologies and paradigms about predominance in the connected
vehicles sector, the diversity of the various application requirements makes it
unlikely that a single technology will be able to fulfill all given demands.
Instead, the joint usage of multiple communication technologies seems to be a
promising candidate that allows benefiting from characteristical strengths
(e.g., using low latency direct communication for safety-related messaging).
Consequently, dynamic network interface selection has become a field of
scientific interest. In this paper, we present a cross-layer approach for
context-aware transmission of vehicular sensor data that exploits mobility
control knowledge for scheduling the transmission time with respect to the
anticipated channel conditions for the corresponding communication technology.
The proposed multi-interface transmission scheme is evaluated in a
comprehensive simulation study, where it is able to achieve significant
improvements in data rate and reliability
Two-Hop Routing with Traffic-Differentiation for QoS Guarantee in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper proposes a Traffic-Differentiated Two-Hop Routing protocol for
Quality of Service (QoS) in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It targets WSN
applications having different types of data traffic with several priorities.
The protocol achieves to increase Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) and reduce
end-to-end delay while considering multi-queue priority policy, two-hop
neighborhood information, link reliability and power efficiency. The protocol
is modular and utilizes effective methods for estimating the link metrics.
Numerical results show that the proposed protocol is a feasible solution to
addresses QoS service differenti- ation for traffic with different priorities.Comment: 13 page
