Abstract

In this paper, we propose two sequence allocation schemes to overcome the drawbacks that protocol sequence allocation in vehicular ad hoc networks heavily relies on the help of roadside units and that lots of sequence resource is wasted owing to the one-to-one scheme. Specifically, the rectangle-cell (R-C) scheme is proposed for neighboring nodes to occupy sequences without overlapping on straight roads. Furthermore, the hexagon-cell (H-C) scheme is proposed to handle the sequence allocation problem on city roads. The sum of generalized prime sequences which builds the foundations for the proposed schemes is fully studied. Besides, the algorithms for vehicles to generate cell marks and occupy sequences without any inter-vehicle interference are given in detail. Simulation results show that both the R-C scheme and the H-C scheme can take full advantage of the sequence resource and exhibit their superiority in sequence utilization and throughput compared to the one-to-one scheme.
