IEEE Vehicular Networks & Applications Workshop

Future Wireless Technologies for Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII)

(IEEE Vehi-Mobi 2010)

 Co-located with IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2010)

23-27 May 2010, Cape Town, South Africa

  

Aims and Scope

Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) has been growing rapidly in importance in the past few years. Even despite the global economic downturn that has hit the car industry hard, research continues in this area, as new technical challenges have evolved that demand research and development. Industry players like the automobile companies, and government agencies, like the US Department of Transportation, are investing heavily in research and development in VII. Technologies and applications for VII are rapidly emerging, and there is an critical need to bring together researchers & engineers, academia and industry, standards, private and public sectors, to exchange ideas.

This workshop is intended to serve as a forum and bring together the researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original work about all aspects of vehicular communications, VANETs, information dissemination, road safety, ITS, emergency services, etc.. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, algorithms, and applications for inter-vehicular communication environments. This workshop will also address some leading standardization efforts (802.11p, p1609, TIA TR48, etc.). Work in progress is also welcome.

Key industrial players (GM, Toyota, Telcordia, BMW, etc.) will be represented at this workshop.

Cross-Layer Evaluation of a VANET-based Content Delivery Framework

Slides presented at the XX Jornadas de Paralelismo.

Currently wireless communications have been significantly improved, being widely used in various areas such as health, education, industry and research. Recently, the automobile industry is adopting wireless technologies in order to improve the services offered, such as safety, traffic updates and infotainment. In particular, vehicular ad-hoc networks are being promoted to improve safety on the road. In this paper we provide a performance evaluation of a content delivery framework over VANETs to assess the viability of this type of schemes. In our experiments we vary several parameters, such as vehicular density, speed, and content demand rate under different environment conditions to evaluate,  from a cross layer perspective, the impact they have on metrics such as delivery latency, routing overhead, throughput, and packet loss; in  particular, we evaluate user satisfaction through the latency perceived and the network performance via the packet loss. Results show that, despite of the routing overhead generated, the overall performance is improved when speed and vehicular density increase.
