The impact of channel model on the performance of distance-based schemes in vehicular named data networks
Distance-based schemes present one of the methods to avoid the broadcast problem in vehicular named data networks. However, such schemes overlook the most factor in performance evaluation which is the variation in received signal strength caused by the propagation model choice. Thus, they are evaluated under one propagation model while neglecting the effect of the others. This paper evaluates the impact of the propagation variation model over three distance-based schemes, namely rapid named data networking (RNDN), enhanced vehicle on named data networking (EVNDN) and opportunistic interest forwarding protocol (OIFP). Simulation experiments are performed over three propagation models. Simulation results show that Nakagami significantly degrades network performance. However, it has a noticeable positive effect over higher distance resulting in a higher interest satisfaction ratio as compared to the other models. The RNDN exhibits a higher number of retransmissions across the Nakagami. In contrast, a higher number of retransmissions is exhibited by EVNDN when compared to the other schemes over the Friis and random. The OIFP show a higher interest satisfaction ratio when compared to EVNDN and RNDN under all models. OIFP shows robustness towards the adverse fading effects resulting from the Nakagami and exhibits lower end to end delays
CMD: A Multi-Channel Coordination Scheme for Emergency Message Dissemination in IEEE 1609.4
In the IEEE 1609.4 legacy standard for multi-channel communications in
vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs), the control channel (CCH) is dedicated to
broadcast safety messages while the service channels (SCH's) are dedicated to
transmit infotainment service content. However, the SCH can be used as an
alternative to transmit high priority safety messages in the event that they
are invoked during the service channel interval (SCHI). This implies that there
is a need to transmit safety messages across multiple available utilized
channels to ensure that all vehicles receive the safety message. Transmission
across multiple SCH's using the legacy IEEE 1609.4 requires multiple channel
switching and therefore introduces further end-to-end delays. Given that safety
messaging is a life critical application, it is important that optimal
end-to-end delay performance is derived in multi-channel VANET scenarios to
ensure reliable safety message dissemination. To tackle this challenge, three
primary contributions are in this article: first, a channel coordinator
selection approach based on the least average separation distance (LAD) to the
vehicles that expect to tune to other SCH's and operates during the control
channel interval (CCHI) is proposed. Second, a model to determine the optimal
time intervals in which CMD operates during the CCHI is proposed. Third, a
contention back-off mechanism for safety message transmission during the SCHI
is proposed. Computer simulations and mathematical analysis show that CMD
performs better than the legacy IEEE 1609.4 and a selected state-of-the-art
multi-channel message dissemination schemes in terms of end-to-end delay and
packet reception ratio.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, 7 table
Adaptive multi-channel MAC protocol for dense VANET with directional antennas
Directional antennas in Ad hoc networks offer more benefits than the traditional antennas with omni-directional mode. With directional antennas, it can increase the spatial reuse of the wireless channel. A higher gain of directional antennas makes terminals a further transmission range and fewer hops to the destination. This paper presents the design, implementation and simulation results of a multi-channel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for dense Vehicular Ad hoc Networks using directional antennas with local beam tables. Numeric results show that our protocol performs better than the existing multichannel protocols in vehicular environment

The published version can be accessed at the following link on the publisher’s website: https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics9030524A vehicular adhoc network (VANET) recently emerged in the the Internet of Vehicles (IoV); it involves the computational processing of moving vehicles. Nowadays, IoV has turned into an interesting field of research as vehicles can be equipped with processors, sensors, and communication devices. IoV gives rise to handoff, which involves changing the connection points during the online communication session. This presents a major challenge for which many standardized solutions are recommended. Although there are various proposed techniques and methods to support seamless handover procedure in IoV, there are still some open research issues, such as unavoidable packet loss rate and latency. On the other hand, the emerged concept of edge mobile computing has gained crucial attention by researchers that could help in reducing computational complexities and decreasing communication delay. Hence, this paper specifically studies the handoff challenges in cluster based handoff using new concept of dynamic edge-backup node. The outcomes are evaluated and contrasted with the network mobility method, our proposed technique, and other cluster-based technologies. The results show that coherence in communication during the handoff method can be upgraded, enhanced, and improved utilizing the proposed technique.Published onlin
Design and analysis of a beacon-less routing protocol for large volume content dissemination in vehicular ad hoc networks
Largevolumecontentdisseminationispursuedbythegrowingnumberofhighquality applications for Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks(VANETs), e.g., the live road surveillance service and the video-based overtaking assistant service. For the highly dynamical vehicular network topology, beacon-less routing protocols have been proven to be efficient in achieving a balance between the system performance and the control overhead. However, to the authors’ best knowledge, the routing design for large volume content has not been well considered in the previous work, which will introduce new challenges, e.g., the enhanced connectivity requirement for a radio link. In this paper, a link Lifetime-aware Beacon-less Routing Protocol (LBRP) is designed for large volume content delivery in VANETs. Each vehicle makes the forwarding decision based on the message header information and its current state, including the speed and position information. A semi-Markov process analytical model is proposed to evaluate the expected delay in constructing one routing path for LBRP. Simulations show that the proposed LBRP scheme outperforms the traditional dissemination protocols in providing a low end-to-end delay. The analytical model is shown to exhibit a good match on the delay estimation with Monte Carlo simulations, as well
