X Abstract

When a roadside 802.11-based wireless access point is shared by more than one vehicle, the vehicle with the lowest transmission rate reduces the effective transmission rate of all other vehicles. This performance anomaly degrades both individual and overall throughput in such multi-vehicular environments. Observing that every vehicle eventually receives good performance when it is near the access point, we propose MV-MAX (Multi-Vehicular Maximum), a medium access protocol that opportunistically grants wireless access to vehicles with the maximum transmission rate. Mathematical analysis and trace-driven simulations based on real data show that MV-MAX not only improves overall system throughput, compared to 802.11, by a factor of almost 4, but also improves on the previously proposed time-fairness scheme by a factor of more than 2. Moreover, despite being less fair than 802.11, almost every vehicle benefits by using MV-MAX over the more equitable 802.11 access mechanism. Finally, we show that our results are consistent across different data sets.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
