Abstract

In vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET), node density is constantly changing in both time and space. Well communication quality depends on the nodes density. Knowing the density of the vehicle communication system is very important for achieving better wireless communication performance. In recent years, many researchers have proposed a resource allocation scheme based on vehicle density. Therefore, in this paper, we introduced an acceleration aware density estimation (VAADE) algorithm to map the relationship between vehicle density and resource requirements. In VAADE, a car estimates the density of the driving road according to its own velocity and acceleration in real time. VAADE is accurate because it employs both velocity and acceleration, which are sufficient for density estimation. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can map the relationship between the communication resource demands and the acceleration.
