In this paper, we shift our attention to study if short-range communication (DSRC or WiFi) could also support real-time video streaming applications for moving vehicles. Rendering real-time video streaming in vehicular network is a challenging task, since video streaming applications tend to have stringent Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements while vehicle-level mobility and severe outdoor fading channel significantly affect route stability. We present a Quality-of-Service routing framework called multi-Criteria Ad hoc Real-time Streaming (CARS). This framework not only provides a multi-hop route that satisfies the stringent QoS requirements imposed by multimedia applications, but also is flexible enough to support a variety of applications with different types of QoS requirements. Moreover, our proposed routing framework accurately monitors network conditions and switches to a better route as the quality of the ongoing route significantly degrades. We further implement our CARS protocol into a small fleet of research vehicles and experiment the implemented protocol in realistic driving scenarios. We learn valuable lessons through empirical experiments and our first-hand experience helps develop a number of optimization policies to further improve performance.","PeriodicalId":152372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126735083","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}

Current intelligent transport systems and vehicular networking technologies rely heavily on the supporting network infrastructure which is still not widely available. This paper contributes towards the development of distributed and cooperative vehicular traffic congestion detection by proposing a new vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) congestion detection algorithm based on the IEEE 802.11p standard. The new algorithm allows vehicles to be self-aware of the traffic in the street, performing congestion detection based on speed monitoring and cooperation with the surrounding vehicles. Cooperation is achieved using adaptive single-hop broadcasting which depends on the level of congestion. The paper presents the congestion detection algorithm and the cooperative communication in detail, and presents performance evaluation using large-scale simulation in Veins framework based on OMNeT++ network simulator and SUMO vehicular mobility simulator. Results show that precise congestion detection and quantification can be achieved using a significantly decreased number of exchanged packets.","PeriodicalId":152372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123643507","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}

Road Side Units (RSUs) will form part of the infrastructure element. However, it is anticipated that a fully deployed RSU infrastructure may not be economically feasible in the short term, therefore, a partial infrastructure in urban environments is more likely, at least initially while vehicular networks are being adopted. It is further likely that low vehicle penetration rates will exist while 802.11p On-Board Unit (OBU) technology is being rolled out, thus routing schemes should exploit infrastructure where available to improve packet delivery. This paper presents a hybrid vehicular routing protocol that facilitates unicast routing by dynamically changing its routing decisions in the presence of RSU infrastructure in order to maximise packet delivery rate. A quantitative evaluation of the proposed Infrastructure Enhanced Geographic Routing Protocol (IEGRP) is provided as a function of varied source to destination distances, vehicular densities, infrastructure availability and application QoS characteristics. It exhibits much improved delivery rates with partial and full infrastructure compared to related protocols.","PeriodicalId":152372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference","volume":"342 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124230368","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}

The core of the framework is a modular Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver, which has been thoroughly evaluated: First, we show that its computational demands are so low that it can be run on low-end desktop PCs or laptops and thus, the transceiver is also feasible to use in field operational tests. Secondly, we present simulation results to highlight the transceiver's capability to study and debug PHY and MAC variants in a reproducible manner. We show that the simulations match very well to a widely accepted error model for IEEE 802.11p networks. Finally, we discuss results from an extensive set of measurements that compare our SDR-based transceiver with commercial grade IEEE 802.11p cards.

Our work is motivated by the needs of our vehicular Internet service, calledWiRover, through which we provide WiFi connectivity in public transit vehicles - city buses as well as long distance buses operating in and around Madison, WI - using multi-network gateways. In our vehicular environment, we have observed that each cellular path experiences stalls and failures resulting in outages to network traffic. To provide robust and uninterrupted experience for these flows, we implement the FloMiS mechanism in the gateways alone, through which the gateways re-initiate a request for the contents of the interrupted flow and splice them back to the original flow in a manner that is transparent to the mobile clients. FloMiS is designed to optimize the majority of network traffic, which our analysis (of about 6 million real user flows) indicates that FloMiS is capable migrating a flow in as little as two round trip times for more than 93% of the traffic volume. Clients left to their own mechanisms would typically recover after several minutes of disconnectivity.","PeriodicalId":152372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130582803","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}

Drivers need to spend more time to their destinations. In this paper, a dynamic navigation protocol, called STN, is proposed to search for time-efficient paths for autonomous driving vehicles toward their given destinations. The trajectory information of vehicles is maintained in a server to assist the planning of navigation path. With STN, a vehicle sending a request message toward the nearest access point (AP) to acquire the driving path. By comparing the trajectories and time information in the system, the future traffic load can be predicted. The traffic load information enables the server to estimate driving speed within different paths toward the destination and then determines a time-efficient path. In addition, adjustment, update, and replan mechanisms are developed to reduce the deviation of prediction. To evaluate the performance of STN, the real road map of Shalu, Taiwan, including 20 road segments, is used. The simulator Estinet, formerly known as NCTUns (National Chiao Tung University Network Simulation) has been used for the validation of STN. The simulator integrates some traffic simulation capabilities, such as road network construction and vehicles mobility control, in the recent version. The simulation results demonstrate that STN saves around 14% driving time as compared with Vehicle-Assisted Shortest-Time Path Navigation (VAN).","PeriodicalId":152372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134529387","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}

Vehicular transmission systems such as IEEE 802.11p are facing serious challenges originating from the vehicular channel. Due to the channels high Doppler frequencies and long path delays, channel estimation and equalization is a pivotal aspect of the receiver structure. Consequently, a wide variety of tracking concepts have been proposed to tackle the challenge of these time- and frequency-selective channels, ranging from the introduction of additional pilots to complex message passing algorithms. DFE inarguably allows best tracking of the channel's impulse response but is often rejected due to its alleged computational complexity. With the proposed Delayed DFE receiver concept, complex buffering structures are avoided while already existent transmitter structures can be reused. Due to the high precision of the obtained channel state information, further optimization can be applied to adaptively suppress channel noise.","PeriodicalId":152372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122690766","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 era when “service is everything and everything is a service”, Vehicular Communication (VC) systems cannot escape from this ongoing trend towards multi-service environments accessible from anywhere. To meet the diverse requirements of vehicle operators and Service Providers (SPs), we present SEROSA, a service-oriented security and privacy-preserving architecture for VC. By synthesizing existing VC standards and Web Services (WS), our architecture provides comprehensive identity and service management while ensuring interoperability with existing SPs.
