A Bandwidth-Efficient Service for Local Information Dissemination in Sparse to Dense Roadways

Thanks to the research on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), we will be able to deploy applications on roadways that will contribute to energy efficiency through a better planning of long trips. With this goal in mind, we have designed a gas/charging station advertising system, which takes advantag...

With this goal in mind, we have designed a gas/charging station advertising system, which takes advantage of the broadcast nature of the network. We have found that reducing the number of total sent packets is important, as it allows for a better use of the available bandwidth. We have designed improvements for a distance-based flooding scheme, so that it can support the advertising application with good results in sparse to dense roadway scenarios.http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/13/7/8612VANETservice discoverybandwidth efficiencymulti-hop broadcaststore-carry-forward
