As a result, we found a coefficient that indicates the behavior of each gear along the time in a trace. We conclude that these analysis, although in the beginning, suggests a way to determine the gear state.

In the practice of real applications, network deployment is a challenging task. Because deployment environment is complex, it is difficult to select suitable positions for node deployment, and the performance of deployed network cannot be guaranteed. This paper proposes a network deployment algorithm which aims to deploy a real network which has the same performance with the designed network. A deployment quality is defined to indicate whether a position is suitable for node deployment. When a position is unsuitable to deploy nodes, the algorithm gives information of a better deployment position. A simulation method based on network simulators is used to verify the proposed algorithm. According to our simulation results, the deployed network generated by the proposed algorithm can keep the performance of designed network including disconnected node number, connectivity, packet delivery ratio, and transmission delay.","PeriodicalId":113404,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th ACM Symposium on Development and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127484256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the proposed framework, according to different applications and quality of service (QoS) requirements of vehicles, a hypervisor enables the virtualization of the physical vehicular network, which is abstracted and sliced into multiple virtual networks. Moreover, the process of resource blocks (RBs) selection and random access in each virtual vehicular network is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), which can achieve the maximum reward about transmission capacity. The optimal policy for RBs selection is derived by virtue of a dynamic programming approach. Extensive simulation results with different system parameters are presented to show the performance improvement of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":113404,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th ACM Symposium on Development and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications","volume":"313 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123276348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, behavior of private-owned vehicles, which occupy a majority in a city's transportation system, remains uncertain due to the lack of real life traces of private-owned vehicles. In this paper, the trace data of 8,900 private cars in 3 months in Changsha, China, is studied to reveal the internal features of private-owned vehicle in a city environment and provide a deeper insight into urban VANETS. To achieve this goal, we introduce a model and a range of metrics to evaluate the behavior of private-owned vehicle. The empirical results suggest that the traditional presupposition, which assumes that vehicles are constantly in motion, turns out to be incorrect for private-owned vehicles. Moreover, the results indicate that in a realistic urban scenario, the demands of VANETs for steady connections between vehicles would always be satisfied in places by private-owned parking vehicles. The outcomes thus provide fundamental guidelines and relevant parameters on design of a reliable and scalable VANET based on location in urban scenarios.","PeriodicalId":113404,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th ACM Symposium on Development and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127571777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To answer them, the radio waves propagation characteristics of the environment must be considered. This observation has motivated the creation of widely different models, they spread from only calculating the distance between the nodes to fully describe a real deployment area with precise measurements of how a material interacts with a radio wave. As models become increasingly detailed in their description of the environment, the time required to describe and simulate it also increases. In this paper we present a model to simulate wireless links over environments that may have many different propagation characteristics, each of them suited to be simulated by its own model, and possibly changing over time. Our model is meant to be used as a stepping stone between simulations using one propagation model and simulations over a detailed description of the deployment area.","PeriodicalId":113404,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th ACM Symposium on Development and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129067144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While disseminating data within a certain area of interest, the Flooding scheme provides the best delivery ratio, but it suffers from the well-known textit{broadcast storm} problem. To this end, we propose a protocol that takes advantage of the Global Positioning System (GPS) with integrated maps. Using the data from a map together with its predictive mechanism, the data sender elects the further nodes that will rebroadcast the information. In addition, the protocol works in both urban and highway scenarios. However, it requires one-time snapshot of the one-hop vehicles, but there are no other beacon messages. Once it has the snapshot, the sender chooses the further rebroadcasting vehicle. A low signal handling mechanism was developed to handle the cases in which the reply-response messages cannot be delivered. A set of simulation experiments was conducted and results show that the proposed scheme alleviates the textit{broadcast storm} problem while keeping delivery ratio on a par with the Flooding scheme by sacrificing some delay performance.","PeriodicalId":113404,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th ACM Symposium on Development and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131114202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this technology is now mature for a single UAV, new methods are needed to operate UAVs in swarms, also referred to as fleets. This work focuses on the mobility management of one single autonomous swarm of UAVs which mission is to cover a given area in order to collect information. Several constraints are applied to the swarm to solve this problem due to the military context. First, the UAVs mobility must be as unpredictable as possible to prevent any UAV tracking. However the Ground Control Station (GCS) operator(s) still needs to be able to forecast the UAVs paths. Finally, the UAVs are autonomous in order to guarantee the mission continuity in a hostile environment and the method must be distributed to ensure fault-tolerance of the system. To solve this problem, we introduce the Chaotic Ant Colony Optimization to Coverage (CACOC) algorithm that combines an Ant Colony Optimization approach (ACO) with a chaotic dynamical system. CACOC permits to obtain a deterministic but unpredictable system. Its performance is compared to other state-of-the art models from the literature using several coverage-related metrics, i.e. coverage rate, recent coverage and fairness. Numerical results obtained by simulation underline the performance of our CACOC method: a deterministic method with unpredictable UAV trajectories that still ensures a high area coverage.","PeriodicalId":113404,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th ACM Symposium on Development and Analysis of Intelligent Vehicular Networks and Applications","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126593646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
