dc.description.abstract | The need to reduce the number of fatalities due to road traffic accidents as
well as to improve the comfort and efficiency of travel has motivated the vision
of vehicular ad hoc networks. Vehicles are envisaged to be able to communicate
with each other to avoid imminent danger by exchanging safety messages, which
are often safety-critical and time-sensitive. The success or failure of delivering
such messages in a reliable and time-bounded manner is the key to the correct
operation of safety applications and consequently the well-being of passengers.
The unique characteristics of vehicular ad hoc networks, namely high mobility,
large and unbounded scale, potentially adverse channel conditions, and the
diversity of network density pose huge challenges in achieving real-time communication
in these networks. Previous medium access control protocols, whether
contention-based or reservation-based, are best-effort, protocols in nature, and
cannot provide reliable and guaranteed medium access. A real-time medium access
control protocol that can adapt to the fast-changing network topology is
required to support the stringent communication requirements of those safety critical
applications in vehicular networks. | |
