Abstract:

Packet forwarding decisions in communications among vehicles are important due to their high mobility. Further, road topologies are expected to contribute to more occurrences of transmission out-of-range, which lead to frequent disconnections. The current existing method to overcome such complex road environments (i.e., a three-dimentional scenario) is through the introduction of relative angles as a weighting value applied in the forwarding scheme in Vehicular-to-Vehicular Urban Network (V2VUNet). This scheme avoids unnecessary participant vehicles and selects the proper vehicle as a relay. In order to show the performance of V2VUNet, this paper, analyzes and evaluates various communication models in several three-dimensional cases.
