Timed bargaining-based opportunistic routing model for dynamic vehicular ad hoc network

초록

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a mobile ad hoc network with a dynamic property; the vehicles possess high mobility and undergo fast topology changes. This special type of mobile ad hoc network is a popular topic of research. Owing to the specific features of VANETs, unique routing protocols are required for short-range, high-speed communication among nearby vehicles. In this study, we propose a new opportunistic routing scheme based on the timed bargaining game. In order to dynamically adapt to the current VANET situation, the proposed scheme effectively formulates the opportunistic routing mechanism as an iterative bargaining model with a timed learning approach. Based on a simulation study, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme can achieve better performance than other existing schemes in diverse VANET environments.
