Abstract:
In Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), the unreliable wireless environment and highly dynamic topology make multi-content distribution inefficient due to the large amount of content requests from vehicles. This gives rise to the need for new content distribution schemes in VANETs. Current researches on content distribution for VANETs generally focus on the single type of content. In this paper, we consider both elastic (with no hard delay requirement) and inelastic (with a hard deadline) contents and propose a joint content distribution scheme in VANETs. We model the content distribution as an optimization problem which jointly minimizes the waiting delay of elastic requests and the failure ratio of inelastic requests. Then, we propose an efficient clonal selection-based approximate algorithm to solve the optimization problem. The performance of our scheme is evaluated by simulation using realistic vehicular traces. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme has better performance than previous solutions.
