Abstract:
Testing Vehicular Network protocols can be quite problematic. In fact, vehicular experiments are often expensive in both economic and temporal terms. As a consequence, researchers generally resort to software simulations which are a neccessary first step but still not sufficient. In this paper, we present two possible experimentation frameworks that could give a boost to the testing of protocols for vehicular networks: the first framework is based on Android smartphones, while the second is based on commodity laptop computers. In order to assess the feasibility and the performance of the proposed frameworks, we implemented through them a representative vehicle-to-vehicle multi-hop broadcast algorithm, i.e., the Fast Broadcast algorithm.
