Many safety and non-safety related applications have been envisioned in VANETs. However, efficient data dissemination considering the mobility of vehicle is must for the success of these applications. Although the Road Side Unit (RSU) is a stationary unit, both RSU and vehicle have
limited transmission range that restricts to shorter connection time. This endures a higher request drop rate specially at the overloaded RSUs. A cooperative load balancing (CLB) among the RSUs to use their residual bandwidth can be an effective solution to reduce the request drop rate.
In this paper, we investigate that considering the remaining delay tolerance of submitted requests and the knowledge of fixed road layout, the performance of the cooperative load balancing system can be further improved significantly. We show that this performance gain comes from serving the requests based on the urgency and the efficient load balancing among the junction-RSUs and edge-RSUs. Based on the observations, we propose an Enhanced CLB (ECLB) approach in this
paper. To demonstrate the efficiency of the ECLB approach a number of well-known scheduling algorithms are integrated and an extensive simulation experiments are conducted in the vehicular communication environment that supports the superiority of ECLB over the existing approaches.

In this paper, we study the impact of obstacles (such as buildings) in the radio propagation in the urban vehicular network’s environment. The impact has been realized not only by the network-level performance metrics, but also by the application-level performance metrics. A majority of the existing works consider perfect physical layer, which ignores the impact of path loss and shadowing effect in radio propagation caused by the urban canyon. First, we show that ignoring the impact of obstacles in radio propagation provides very high superficial network-level performance. Second, under obstacle shadowing, we perform analytical analysis andNs-3 based realistic urban vehicular simulation of current dedicated short-range communication based safety message broadcasting to study the achievable performance of application-level performance metrics. This study reveals the answer of the key question, whether the achieved network-level performance metric is good enough for the safety-critical applications under the acute attenuation in radio propagation in urban environment. Third, we propose opportunistic vehicle-assisted or dedicated road side unit-assisted network coded relaying for improving reliability
at road intersection. Simulation results show that the proposed approach improves more than 65% reliability for delay sensitive and around 25% reliability for less delay sensitive applications at intersections.
