Information Dissemination Speed in Delay Tolerant Urban Vehicular Networks in a Hyperfractal Setting

Information Dissemination in Vehicular Networks in an Urban Hyperfractal Topology

The goal of this paper is to increase our understanding of the fundamental performance limits of urban vehicle networks by exploiting the self-similarity and hierarchical organization of modern cities. We use an innovative model called “hyperfractal” that captures the self-similarity of the topology and vehicle locations while avoiding the extremes of regularity and randomness. We use analytica...

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (VDTNs) are composed of mobile nodes that communicate wirelessly with each other to forward data despite connectivity issues. This paper focuses on the problem of some nodes trying to impair the communication of a VDTN. In the paper we study the case of nodes that delay the forwarding of messages that is a particularly difficult to detect form of misbehavior. W...

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks

—There are problems of low delivery radio and high transmission delay in Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (a.b. VDTN. To address these problems, this paper proposes a Vehicular Delay-tolerant Network routing algorithm based on Contention (a.b. VDNC). VDTN algorithm consists of three strategies: the intersection selection strategy based on the Manhattan distance and traffic information, the fi...

Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks

Traditional networks suppose the existence of some path between endpoints, small end to end round-trip delay time, and loss ratio. Today, however, new applications, environments and types of devices are challenging these assumptions. In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), an end-to-end path from source to destination may not exist. Nodes may connect and exchange information in an opportunistic way....
