Abstract

Providing an efficient and stable communication framework of Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging issue. Most of conventional VANET communication schemes only support short range transmission, vehicles need to relay traffic data or frequently switch to different roadside units. Such an ad hoc-based method suffers a high jitter delay and makes it difficult to develop travel and real-time multimedia services, such as traffic information dissemination and fleet management. Fortunately, existing novel wireless technologies, e.g. WiMAX mobile multi-relay (MMR), provide long transmission range and high transmission rate in mobile environments. This study presents a Safety/Vehicular Information Delivery (SVID) framework, an application-layer VANET communication protocol. A power-abundant, large size vehicle, called SIP-based relay vehicle (SRV), e.g. long distance transportation bus, plays as a relay station (RS) providing the connectivity to other small vehicles around it. To provide VANET services in SVID, this work adopts a SIP-based mechanism. The proposed scheme can provide more efficient communication than conventional VANET ad hoc mode. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a low SIP transaction time, jitter delay, frame loss rate while avoiding the broadcast storm problem.
