It is foreseeable that in the few upcoming years, real time traffic information, including road incidents notifications, will be collected and disseminated by mobile vehicles, thanks to their plethora of embedded sensors. Each vehicle can thus actively participate in sharing the collected information with the other peers forming an infrastructure-less self-organising network of vehicles. However,...
Channel congestion is a well-known problem in wireless networks in general and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) in particular. Literature solutions propose to alleviate this problem by controlling the network load based on parameters like vehicle density or packet collision rate. In other words, each vehicle will observe the density of vehicles (or the packet collision rate) around itself in a certain...
In this work, we are interested in periodic beacons transmission, the main cause of the Control Channel (CCH) congestion and the major obstacle delaying the progress of safety messages dissemination in VANETs. In order to offload the network, solutions that range from transmit rate to transmit power adaptations including hybrid solutions have been proposed. Although some of these solutions have managed...
Ensuring fast and reliable dissemination of safety messages is a prerequisite for the establishment of safety applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). However, fulfilling this requirement is a challenging task due to the specific characteristics of VANETs and the increasing density of vehicles in urban areas. Moreover, VANETs may carry a large amount of data to moving vehicles, leading...
One of the main challenges in the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) research domain is the simulation of vehicular communications using realistic mobility models. Several efforts have been put lately in this purpose; yet, the proposed models are either inappropriate, or carry significant disadvantages. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for realistic simulations in vehicular networks, inspired...
