EDCA, the standard IEEE 802.11 QoS capability, was designed for networks with a mix of voice, video and best effort traffic. This paper examines how to use EDCA to reduce frame collisions for a channel dominated by periodic safety messages. The paper makes two main contributions: Access Category (AC) Isolation and Virtual Division. AC Isolation eliminates inter-AC countdown collisions, dramatically improving the success rate for high priority packets. Virtual Division uses isolation in a novel way that also reduces collisions for lower priority packets. Both techniques are consistent with the 802.11 standard. The paper includes both detailed analysis and insightful NS-2 simulations.","PeriodicalId":140426,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115292459","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 a VANET scenario, transmissions from coordinated nodes are performed in so-called Streaks, without intermediate backoff counter decrement. We adapt the model by Engelstad and Østerbø and provide several improvements specific to VANET beaconing. The resulting analytical model is shown to have good fit with simulation results.","PeriodicalId":140426,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130989013","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}

Due to the continuous collection, processing, and dissemination of data, one crucial requirement is the efficient use of the available bandwidth. Firstly, the rate of message transmissions must be properly controlled in order to limit the amount of data inserted into the network. Secondly, messages must be carefully selected to maximize the utility (benefit) gain of vehicles in the neighborhood. We argue that such selection must aim at a fair distribution of data utility, given the possible conflicting data interests among vehicles. In this work, we propose a data dissemination protocol for VANETs that distributes data utility fairly over vehicles while adaptively controlling the network load. The protocol relies only on local knowledge to achieve fairness with concepts of Nash Bargaining from game theory. Simulation results show that our algorithm presents a higher fairness index and yet it maintains a high level of bandwidth utilization efficiency compared to other approaches. In addition, the rate of transmissions is adaptively controlled as new information about the environment is collected.","PeriodicalId":140426,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123104861","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}

Although those technologies obviously compete against cellular approaches, inter-vehicle communication will most likely contribute to applications such as cooperative sensing or traffic information systems. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and benefit of such applications - most importantly in very large network scenarios - it is essential to understand the time-delay characteristics of data dissemination processes and to model them efficiently. In this paper, we explore an information-centric modeling approach to describe the time delay of beaconing based data dissemination. Our approach is based on the analogy of a construction kit with elementary, connectable road shapes (or “blocks”, e.g. a straight road, an intersection, or similar). The proposed concept supports arbitrary road network layouts, is extensible, and allows to improve the accuracy (and statistical correctness) of blocks over time. We further provide two elementary blocks of the construction kit: a straight road of arbitrary length for highway, rural and city scenarios, as well as an intersection. Compared to previous work, our underlying model of these blocks addresses not only application and communication related aspects, but also mobility related aspects.","PeriodicalId":140426,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114231265","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}

Recently, dynamic coordination methods are becoming possible using the more short-term traffic information that can be provided by probe-vehicle information or smart phones. Some approaches have been trying to handle short-term traffic information in which a stigmergy-based approach is employed as an indirect communication method for cooperation among distributed agents and for managing traffic congestion. One drawback of these approaches is that handling near-future congestion remains problematic because stigmergies are basically past information. We propose anticipatory stigmergy for sharing information on near-future traffic and allocating drivers adequately. In this model, all vehicles submit their near-future intention as anticipatory stigmergy to search again their routes. Because it might be ineffective that all drivers choose the recommended route by anticipatory stigmergy, we examine strategies to allocate drivers the recommended link based on the residual distance or the lost time of traffic congestion. Our preliminary results demonstrate that anticipatory stigmergy with allocation strategy works well.","PeriodicalId":140426,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124479381","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}

We further argue that replacing a simplified with a fully featured Two-Ray Interference model can not only substantially improve the accuracy of simulation results but also allow capturing one notable artifact that becomes immediately visible in field tests, namely strong signal attenuation at short and medium ranges. We implemented the Two-ray Interference model within the Veins simulation framework and validated it using analytical predictions and field measurements.
