Abstract

As studies on vehicular ad hoc networks have been conducted actively in recent years, convenient and reliable services can be provided to vehicles through traffic information, surrounding information, and file sharing. To provide services for multiple requests, road side units (RSUs) should receive requests from vehicles and provide a scheduling scheme for data transfer according to priority. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling scheme by which multiple RSUs are connected through wired networks and data is transferred through the collaboration of RSUs. The proposed scheme transfers safety and non-safety data by employing a collaborative strategy of multiple RSUs as well as reducing the deadline miss ratio and average response time. When safety data is generated, data is transferred from the previous RSU in advance, while priority is assigned considering the deadline and reception rate. Since non-safety data is an on-demand data processed by user requests, the proposed scheme provides a method that reduces the deadline miss ratio upon loads generated in RSUs. To prove the superiority of the proposed scheme, we perform a performance evaluation in which the number and velocities of vehicles were changed. It is shown through the performance evaluation that the proposed scheme has better deadline miss ratios and faster response time than the existing schemes.
