Abstract

In this paper we analyze the performance of a broadcast packet in a VANET with the slotted ALOHA protocol where locations of vehicles are modeled by a one-dimensional stochastic geometry. We consider the packet delivery probability under a broadcast delay constraint. Since the successful transmission of a broadcast packet is significantly affected by interferences at receivers which are spatially correlated, it is important to capture the spatial correlations properly in order to obtain an accurate expression of the packet delivery probability. However, the exact analysis of the spatial correlations in interference is not mathematically tractable. In this paper we provide an accurate approximation of the spatial correlations in interference and derive the packet delivery probability with the help of the approximation. Numerical and simulation results are provided to validate our analysis and to investigate the performance of a VANET.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this paper, we consider a scenario as follows. The arrival rate of a broadcast packet is low and each node has a queue of capacity 1. So a generated packet in the queue can be served just after its generation and hence the broadcast delay T follows a geometric distribution as explained. However, it can be extended to the case of having a general queue and a general arrival process of broadcast packets. For instance, when the arrival process follows the Bernoulli process, the broadcast delay T can be analyzed by using the Geom/G/1 queueing model, and the following analysis is not changed to obtain the performance metrics. For simplicity in our analysis, we thus consider a simple version as explained before.
