In VANETs, vehicles have no energy resource constraint which could extend coverage and network lifetime, but have a high mobility patterns that cause frequent and fast topology changes. Consequently, VANETs have particular research interests, like dedicated MAC and routing optimization. In our previous work, we have proposed movement prediction-based routing (MOPR) concept for VANETs, which improves the routing process by selecting the most stable route in terms of lifetime with respect to the movement of vehicles. And in this paper, we present how this MOPR concept can be applied to position-based routing protocols, and how it improves their performances. Based on simulation results we compare MOPR with the position-based routing protocol GPSR and another movement-based routing protocol called MORA.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134152477","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}

VANETs have received wide attention in the research community in recent years. Wireless routing protocols (e.g. DSR or AODV) were studied in freeway scenarios. But whereas recent research dealt with different vehicle density rates (number of vehicles per km) the distance and especially the long distance between the source and the destination vehicles has not been tackled well in the published literature. We studied the performance of the AODV protocol considering different distances between the source and destination vehicles. The mobility traces were generated by a microscopic vehicular traffic generator based on the intelligent-driver model. We addressed the limitations of other protocols in this scenario by implementing some improvements to increase the packet delivery rate and the throughput, and to decrease the normalized routing load. For these improvements we used mobility prediction based on neighborhood knowledge to guarantee more reliable intermediate nodes and therefore a more stable route to the destination. The reliability of the intermediate nodes gets more and more important the longer the routes are, as we show in this paper.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134209186","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, mesh networks face the power unfairness and throughput bottleneck issues. Compared to the users far away from the gateway, the users near the gateway need to relay more traffic and consume more power. This paper proposes a scalable ring-based WMN that can ensure power fairness among users by adjusting the ring widths. On top of the ring-based WMN, frequency planning is suggested to overcome the throughput bottleneck issue for the inner-ring users near the gateway, thereby making the system more scalable to accommodate more users and facilitating coverage extension. We also investigate the overall tradeoffs of the ring-based WMN in terms of power fairness, capacity, and coverage. An analytical model is developed to evaluate the throughput and power consumption of the ring- based WMN using carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) MAC protocol in the unsaturated situation. Then, a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem aiming to maximize cell capacity and coverage subject to the constraint of power fairness is formulated. Applying this optimization approach, we obtain the optimal number of rings and the associated ring widths of the ring-based WMN.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132280953","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 dynamic topology of MANETs, to construct a stable multicast data delivery structure becomes a challenge in ad hoc environment. In this paper, we propose a stable overlay multicast protocol for MANETs based on modified Delayed Forwarding mechanism. In this protocol, each member node precalculates its stability according to remaining battery and local mobility of itself. A source rooted overlay multicast tree is created if source has to send data packets. The overlay creation follows the stability of each member node. By using modified Delayed Forwarding mechanism, a member node with relatively high stability will have highly populated subtrees, by this way to improve multicast routing stability. Data packets are transmitted via IP-in-IP tunnels between member nodes in the overlay tree.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133911736","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 this paper, we investigate noncoherent detection, i.e. detection assuming the absence of channel state information at the receiver, of on-off keying (OOK) in an FSO system. To partially recover the performance loss associated with conventional symbol-by- symbol noncoherent detection, we consider the application of decision-feedback detection (DFD), in which symbol-by-symbol decisions are made using previous decisions and an observation window of N received statistics. Analytical and simulation results indicate that the performance of a DFD receiver approaches the coherent detection lower bound with increasing window length. Consequently, as the proposed receiver exhibits a complexity independent of N, the conclusion is reached that DFD is an effective approach for noncoherent detection in an FSO system.","PeriodicalId":261917,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 66th Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"25 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132968322","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}
