Research on VANET Network Coding Strategy in Expressway Scene

Abstract

VANET is a real-time, intelligent transportation network featuring motion patterns limited by roads, diverse transmission data, and frequent topological changes. In the highway scene, the network coding and the roadside unit are introduced to assist the data transmission in order to solve such problems as single data transmission path and short communication link duration. When the vehicle node transmits data, it will first determine the type of vehicle node at this time, and select the best transmission path as the main path of the encoded data packet according to the relative position information of the vehicle nodes, the difference of the requested content storage nodes, and the vehicle density. The path acts as a secondary path for the transmission of encoded packets. Finally, the routing strategy proposed in this paper is implemented by the opportunistic network simulator ONE simulation. According to the experimental results, the routing strategy proposed in this paper can effectively improve the message delivery rate, reduce the average network delay and network overhead.
