Abstract

Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET), a kind of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), is a key technology for building intelligent transportation system (ITS). VANET is automatically and temporarily established through vehicle-to-vehicle communication without network infrastructure. It has the characteristics that frequent changes of network topology and node density are occurred and messages are disseminated through several relay nodes in the network. Due to frequent change of network topology and node density, however, VANET requires an effective relay node selection scheme to disseminate messages through the multi-hop broadcast. In this paper, we propose a contention window based multi-hop broadcast scheme for VANET. Each node has an optimized contention window and competes with each other for a relay node. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has a better performance than the distance-based deterministic broadcast scheme in terms of message propagation delay and network traffic.

차량 애드혹 네트워크는 이동 애드혹 네트워크의 한 종류로서 ITS를 위한 핵심 기술이다. 차량 애드혹 네트워크는 기반시설의 도움 없이 차량 간의 무선통신을 통해 임시적으로 구성되며 메시지 중계 노드로 선정된 차량들을 통해 메시지가 전파된다. 그러나 차량 애드혹 네트워크는 기존의 이동 애드혹 네트워크 보다 네트워크 토폴로지와 노드밀도의 변화가 아주 심하다. 따라서, 멀티-홉 브로드캐스트를 통해 메시지를 신속히 전파하기 위해서는 효과적인 릴레이 노드 선정기법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 차량 애드혹 네트워크에서 효율적으로 메시지를 전파하기 위한 경쟁윈도우 기반 멀티-홉 브로드캐스트 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 각 노드가 최적화된 경쟁윈도우를 계산하고 노드들 간의 경쟁을 통해 최적의 릴레이 노드가 선정되도록 한다. 실험결과, 제안한 기법은 기존의 거리기반 결정적 멀티-홉 브로드캐스트 기법에 비하여 종단간 메시지 전파 지연시간과 네트워크 부하 면에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.
