Research on Distributed In‐Vehicle Wireless Self‐Organized Routing Protocol Distribution Mechanism

Abstract

In recent years, the application of intelligent transportation systems has gradually made the transportation industry safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly and has led to a broader research prospect of vehicle wireless communication technology. Distributed vehicular self-organizing networks are mobile self-organizing networks in realistic traffic situations. Data interaction and transmission between nodes are achieved through the establishment of a vehicular self-organizing network. In this paper, a multipath routing protocol considering path stability and load balancing is proposed to address the shortcomings of existing distributed vehicular wireless self-organizing routing protocols. This protocol establishes three loop-free paths in the route discovery phase and uses the path stability parameter and load level parameter together to measure the total transmission cost. The one with the lowest total transmission cost is selected as the highest priority path for data transmission in the route selection phase, and the other two are used as alternate paths, and when the primary path breaks, the higher priority of the remaining path will continue to transmit data as the primary route. In this paper, to improve the content distribution performance of target vehicles in scenarios where communication blind zones exist between adjacent roadside units, an assisted download distribution mechanism for video-like large file content is designed in the V2V and V2I cooperative communication regime. That is, considering a two-way lane scenario, we use the same direction driving vehicles to build clusters, reverse driving vehicles to carry prefetched data, and build clusters to forward prefetched data to improve the data download volume of target vehicles in nonhot scenarios such as highways with the sparse deployment of roadside units, to meet the data volume download demand of in-vehicle users for large files and give guidance for efficient distribution of large file content in highway scenarios.
