Abstract:In this paper we analyze the performance of multimedia communication in a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET). We focus on the multicast transmission of multimedia signals (MP3 streams) between a static and a mobile node. We examine different solutions to guarantee vehicle-toinfrastructure connectivity via both omni-directional and directional antennas. An optimized client-server streaming software suite has been developed and tested with various safety messages in a real-world network testbed. Results are presen… Show more
