Understanding the Performance of Short-lived Control Broadcast Packets in 802.11p/WAVE Vehicular Networks (original) (raw)

Reliable and efficient data broadcasting is essential in vehicular networks to provide safety-critical and commercial service messages on the road. There is still no comprehensive analysis of IEEE 802.11p based MAC that portrays the presence of buffer memory in vehicular networks. Besides, most of the analytical works do not fulfill some of the IEEE 802.11p specifications, such as short retry limit and back-off timer freezing. This paper proposes a 1-D and 2-D Markov model to analyze mathematically IEEE 802.11p based MAC for safety and non-safety messages respectively. The work presented in this paper takes into account the traffic arrival along with the first-order buffer memory and freezing of the back-off timer as well, to utilize the channel efficiently and provide higher accuracy in estimation of channel access, yielding more precise results of the system throughput for non-safety messages and lower delay for safety messages. Furthermore, back-off stages with a short retry limit were applied for non-safety messages in order to meet the IEEE 802.11p specifications, guaranteeing that no packet is served indefinitely, avoiding the overestimation of system throughput. A simulation was carried out to validate the analytical results of our model.
Enhancing the performance of safety applications in IEEE 802.11p/WAVE Vehicular Networks
2012 IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM), 2012
Recently, the IEEE 1609.4 WAVE protocol has been proposed to enable multi-channel communication in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). While the usage of multi-channel tech nology can favor the co-existence of safety and non-safety vehic ular applications, its implementation on single-radio transceivers poses some major concerns about the effective utilization of the channel resources. In this paper, we investigate the performance of safety-related applications on multi-channel VANETs. We demonstrate that the synchronous channel switching operations enforced by the IEEE 1609.4 protocol introduce additional delays to the delivery of safety messages, that might compromise the viability of such applications. To cope with this problem, we propose a WAVE-enhanced Safety message Delivery scheme (WSD) that minimizes the delivery delay of safety messages in multi-channel VANETs, while preserving compatibility with the IEEE 1609.4/802.11p standards. WSD attempts to transmit high priority safety message during SCH intervals while guaranteeing reception by all neighbors. We formulate the broadcast problem in multi-channel VANETs as a scheduling problem over the different DSRC channels. We extend the problem formulation to cooperative scenarios, in which multiple vehicles contribute to disseminate the safety message over the different channels.
A Novel 802.11 Contention Window Control Scheme for Vehicular Environments
CEDI2013, Madrid, Spain, 2013
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have attractive potential in order to decrease the ordi- nary trac jams and avoid transportation disasters. Also, they are able to provide various infotainment services like browsing, reading e-mail or using social networks that makes a trip more interesting. In or- der to make it more ecient in real vehicular envi- ronments, achieving a well-designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is a challenging issue due to the dynamic nature of VANETs, scalability issues, and the variety of application requirements. Di er- ent standardization organizations have selected IEEE 802.11 as the rst choice for VANET environments considering its availability, maturity, and cost. The research results for IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol show the importance of contention window adjustment on the communications performance. The impact of ad- justing the contention window has been studied in MANETs, but the vehicular communication commu- nity has not yet addressed this issue thoroughly. This paper proposes e-HBCWC, a new contention window control scheme for VANET environments based on estimating the network condition. Analy- sis and simulation results using OMNeT++ in urban scenarios show that e-HBCWC clearly outperforms 802.11 DCF, even in very high network density, by increasing the packet delivery rate while decreasing the number of collisions and the end-to-end delay for unicast applications.
Reducing Channel Contention in Vehicular Environments Through an Adaptive Contention Window Solution
WD2013, Valencia, Spain, 2013
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are attracting growing attention both in industry and academia due to the advances in wireless communication technologies, and a significant demand for a wide variety of applications targeting this kind of environments are expected. In order to make it usable in real vehicular environments, achieving a well-designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is a challenging issue due to the dynamic nature of VANETs, scalability issues, and the variety of application requirements. Different standardization organizations have selected IEEE 802.11 as the first choice for VANET environments considering its availability, maturity, and cost. The contention window is a critical parameter for handling medium access collisions by the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, and it highly affects the communications performance. The impact of adjusting the contention window has been studied in MANETs, but the vehicular communications community has not yet addressed this issue thoroughly. This paper proposes a new contention window control scheme, called DBM-ACW, for VANET environments. Analysis and simulation results using OMNeT++ in highway and urban scenarios show that DBM-ACW provides better overall performance compared with previous proposals, even in high network density scenarios.
Cooperative multichannel management in IEEE 802.11 p/WAVE vehicular ad hoc networks
International Journal of Vehicle …, 2011
The upcoming IEEE 802.11p/Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) standard is intended to provide wireless access to vehicles on the roads. According to it, safety/control messages are delivered on a given frequency during a common control channel (CCH) interval. The rest of the time, vehicles switch over one of available service channels (SCH) for non-safety-related data exchange. Despite the massive research effort onto reliable and timely dissemination solutions for safety-related data, few works have investigated non-safety data delivery when considering the WAVE features and capabilities. In this work, a simple and easy-to-deploy channel reservation scheme based on cooperation among vehicles has been designed, which fully leverages the 802.11p/WAVE multichannel capability. Simulation results show that the proposed solution, by adding just few modifications and little-to-none signalling overhead compared to the standard, is successful in improving the performance delivery of non-safety services under several network topologies and different traffic loads.
DREAM: IEEE 802.11p/WAVE Extended Access Mode in Drive-Thru Vehicular Scenarios
IEEE International Conf. on Communications (ICC), Ottawa, Canada, 2012
The 802.11p standard has been recently ratified to provide Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE). According to the WAVE alternating channel access scheme, singleradio devices must tune into a common frequency during the control channel (CCH) interval, to exchange safety and control packets, and regularly (every 50 ms) switch to one of the available service channels (SCHs) for non-safety data exchange.
Performance Evaluation Of 802.11P Vanets With Different Duty Cycles
2021
With the improvement in technology, the number of vehicles on the roads has increased tremendously over the last decade. As large numbers of vehicles are on the road it has become almost a necessity to improve the driving conditions, provide all the facilities and to make sure that driving is safe for drivers around the world. To utilize this information the vehicle has to alternately switch between control (CCH) and service channels (SCH) effectively. So, in our work we evaluate the performance of vehicles on control and service channels with different duty cycle such that no critical message is missed and multimedia applications can be used concurrently. For this purpose we developed 802.11p simulator and the experiments proved that CCH should use duty cycle of 0.6 as delay tolerant data has to be transmitted over it and SCH should work on 0.3 which is delay insensitive, but generates revenue for the industry by using different multimedia applications as requested by the user.
Performance Analysis of Broadcast Messages in VANETs Safety Applications
2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010, 2010
Since IEEE 802.11p has been adopted as Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) main technology, the research and development of vehicular safety applications has gained momentum. Because broadcasting is the predominant traffic type in VANETs, their safety applications will face a challenge in managing the channel capacity to insure good performance in terms of throughput, delay, fairness and broadcast coverage. In this paper we analyze the performance of the broadcast scheme of IEEE 802.11p standard analytically and verify the model by simulation. We then derive the optimal values of its parameters considering the probability of packets successful reception, throughput, delay and collision probability in a harsh vehicular environment.
