摘要:
The present invention offers systems and methods for effective multiple-hop routing, multicasting and media access control for vehicle group communications that employ directional wireless radio technology. Multi-beam optic-wireless media and streamlined operations provide low-overhead communications among vehicles. Systems and methods are provided to maintain a quasi-stationary group of neighboring vehicles, enable high-throughput on-demand switching among multiple vehicles, enable group coding in the vehicle group to achieve higher throughput, and enable dynamic adjustment of link to maintain desirable vehicle group. The proposed solution builds upon the conception of a MAC-free wireless operation and quasi-stationary vehicular switched network to achieve ultra-low-overhead and high-throughput vehicle communications.

A method and apparatus for optimizing communication of data within a disruption tolerant network. The method comprises of receiving a data packet, said data packet including a context and a state related to said context, storing the data packet to a buffer and disseminating the data packet to neighboring vehicles and RSU, and passing said state to an application, said application associated with said application context. In one embodiment, the method functions as a software protocol within a dashboard computer. The apparatus comprises a processor and a memory operable to receive a data packet, said data packet including a context and a state related to said context, store the data packet to a buffer when the context matches an application context, disseminating the data packet to neighboring vehicles and RSU, and pass said state to an application when the context matches an application context, said application associated with said application context. In one embodiment, the apparatus is presented as a dashboard computer within a vehicle.

摘要:
A method for maintaining a local peer group (LPG) for supporting communications among vehicles. The LPG is formed from a plurality of vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped with a wireless communications device. One of the vehicles is selected as a group header node (GH). The method comprises receiving periodically a heartbeat packet from the GH, the heartbeat packet including a maximum hop count, and a heartbeat cycle, forwarding the heartbeat packet until the maximum hop count is reached after waiting for a first random relay delay, which is less than a maximum allowable adjustable value, replying to the heartbeat packet with a membership report packet, forwarding a membership report packet towards the GH, and adding a vehicle that submitted the membership report packet to a LPG membership as a member node of the LPG if the membership report packet is new or updating information for a member node.
摘要:
A method of controlling a wireless communication device that is installed in a moving vehicle. The method comprises receiving roadway topology information and vehicle traffic pattern information, receiving vehicle and wireless communication device performance information from a plurality of other moving vehicles, determining current position information for the moving vehicle; determining a first set of metrics for a performance of the wireless communication device installed in the moving vehicle, estimating at least one second metric related to the performance of the wireless communication device or an ad-hoc network which includes each wireless communication device and changing an operation or routing parameter for the wireless communication device based upon the estimation. The second metric is based upon at least a sub-set of the first set of metrics, the received information and the determined current position information for the moving vehicle.

A method and system for determining a size of a local peer group (LPG) network in a dynamic roadway (mobile) environment is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises measuring a roundtrip time between a first node and a second node, and utilizing the measured roundtrip time to select the size of the local peer group network from a lookup table. In another embodiment, the method comprises determining when the roundtrip time exceeds a time interval of the heartbeat signal, and when the roundtrip time exceeds the time interval of the heartbeat signal adjusting the size of the local peer group network.

摘要:
A method for transmitting data in vehicular network comprising determining a communication window between at least two nodes, grouping a plurality of fragments of content together into an aggregate fragment block, forwarding the aggregate fragment block to a target node and assembling the plurality of fragments into the content. The content is divided into the plurality of fragments. A fragment signature is generated for the fragments that contain fragment index information regarding each fragment. Each fragment is unambiguously identified by its signature. A number of fragments grouped into the aggregate fragment block is dependent on the communication window.
