Approaches to vehicular communication Communication using Communication using dedicated infrastructures cellular systems Direct Communication Vehicular Communication Technology
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) • Ad-Hoc Network: • A networkwithminimalornoinfrastructure • Self-organizing • Eachnodecanactasthesourceofdata, the destinationfordataandanetwork router • VehicularAdHocnetwork (VANET) • Usesequippedvehiclesasthenetworknodes • Nodesmoveatwillrelativetoeachotherbut withintheconstraintsoftheroadinfrastructure Vehicular Communication Technology
Differences VANETs from MANETs • RapidTopologyChanges • Highrelativespeedofvehicles => short link life • FrequentFragmentation • Chunks of the net are unable to reach nodes in nearby regions • SmallEffectiveNetworkDiameter • Apathmaycease toexistalmostasquicklyasitwasdiscovered (reactive routing) • LimitedRedundancy • The redundancy in MANETs is critical to providing additional bandwidth • In VANETs the redundancy is limited both in time and in function Vehicular Communication Technology

Lot of Involved Parties Vehicular Communication Technology
Major problems in this area • Communication / Networking • Localization Vehicular Communication Technology
Requirements on vehicular communication • Mobility • Delaybounded (real-time) • Scalability • Bandwidth efficiency • Cost • Fairness • Any time, any place, any hosts (GPS unequipped vehicles, standardization between cars’ manufactures) Vehicular Communication Technology
Addressing the challenges • PhysicalLayer • limited bandwidth • Link Layer • congestioncontrol, latency, throughput, fairness andscalability • Network (Routing) Layer • rapidtopology changesandnetwork fragmentation Vehicular Communication Technology
Dedicated ShortRangeCommunications(DSRC) • DSRC operates at 5.9 GHz Vehicular Communication Technology
DSRC – Operating Characteristics • IEEE 802.11p protocol (802.11a modification for VC) • Maximumrange: 1000m • Vehicle speeds up to 100 mph • Low latency: 50 ms • Application priority: 8 levels • Channel 172: vehicle safety only Vehicular Communication Technology
Howdoes DSRC work? • Road-Side Unit (RSU) • Announces to OBUs 10 times per second applicationsitsupportson whichchannel • On-Board Unit (OBU) • Listenson Channel 172 • Executessafetyapplicationsfirst • Then switches channels • Executes non-safety applications • Returns to Channel 172 and listens Vehicular Communication Technology
Channel allocation (MAC) • Existing MAC protocols (CSMA/CA, MACA, MACA-BI) are contention-based => not delay bounded • Proposed MCS/CDMA • Each vehicle senses all the spreading codes, finds a code that is not used by nearby vehicles, and transmits data using the selected code • Search for free code, contention for free code (if vehicles > codes) => large delays Vehicular Communication Technology
Channel allocation (MAC) • Location-based Channel Access (LCA) • The geographical area is divided into a cellular structure • Each cell has a unique channel associated with it • Multiple access scheme, such as CSMA/CA and MCS/CDMA, can be used within each cell • Maindesignparameters: cellsizeandchannelreuse distance • Advantages: no central station for channel assignment, no wait before transmit, no contention for free channels, reuse of channels => delay bounded, fairness, bandwidth efficiency, scalability and mobility Vehicular Communication Technology
Routing Schemes • Proactive (table-driven) • Eachnodeattempts tomaintainacurrent representationofthenetworktopology • Advantage: lowermessagelatency (routes are immediately available) • Disadvantage: bandwidth overhead (to maintain routes), restricted scalability • Reactive (source-driven, on-demand) • Routesarerequestedbysourcenodesonlywhen needed • Advantage: bandwidth economy (no control messages for non-active routes) • Disadvantage: latency (establishing a route) • Hybrid • ZRP – proactive within zone, reactive outside zone Vehicular Communication Technology

How does GPS work? Vehicular Communication Technology
How do we compute Position? • GPS is a Distance (Range) Measuring System • Stable Frequency Standards in the Satellites and Receivers • Able to compute a Clock Offset • Velocity of Radiowave is known • Thus Distance = V x T • Since the coordinates of the Satellites are known at any point of time, with 4 ranges the position of the GPS Antenna can be computed • 3-D Trilateration: Distance, Distance, Distance and Distance Intersection Vehicular Communication Technology
DGPS • Differential GPS can improve accuracy from several meters to a fewcentimeters Vehicular Communication Technology
However… • Vehicles may be unequipped with GPS or sometimes cannot obtain line-of-sight access to satellites (in tunnels) • In order to discover their position (or at least driving direction), GPS-U vehicles can use communication with GPS-E vehicles • GPS-U periodically broadcasts PREQ message to its one-hop neighbors • When GPS-E receives PREQ, it sends back PREP message including its current position • The knowledge of the exact position depends on the number of neighbors sending PREP messages • GPS-U can compute its exact position if it receives at least three PREP from three different vehicles (by triangulation) Vehicular Communication Technology
