Novel Backoff Mechanism for Mitigation of Congestion in DSRC Broadcast

Abstract

Due to the recent re-allocation of the 5.9 GHz band by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), it will be inevitable that dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) and cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), two representative technologies for V2X, have to address coexistence. Especially, the distributed nature of DSRC makes it not trivial to control congestions due to an asynchronous structure, which makes it inefficient to disseminate a controlling signal. To this end, we propose a method to "lighten" a distributed V2X networking. Technically, it is to allocate the backoff counter according to the level of an accident risk to which a vehicle is temporarily exposed. We provide an analysis framework based on a spatiotemporal analysis. The numerical results show the improvement in the successful delivery of basic safety messages (BSMs).

On the Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant Consensus for Blockchain among Connected Vehicles

“…A generalized "square" space is assumed instead of a roadlike setting such as a road segment, for the most generic form of analysis as done in related literature such as [6]. The environment represented by the system space R 2 , which is defined on a rectangular coordinate with the width and length of D m. Therein, a CV network is defined as a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), denoted by Φ, with the density of λ(> 0).…”

Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant Consensus via Reinforcement Learning for Permissioned Blockchain Implemented in a V2X Network

“…This paper adopts the stochastic geometry for characterization of a V2X network on a space [20]- [29]. They commonly rely on the fact that uniform distributions of nodes on X and Y axes of a Cartesian-coordinate two-dimensional space yield a Poisson point process (PPP) on the number of nodes in the space.…”
