18 Intelligent Control Mechanisms for Vehicular Sensor Networks
Sami S. Alwakeel and Agung B. Prasetijo
In recent years, there has been a trend of sensor networks being embedded into vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). For VANET, vehicles are equipped with sensors, and the output of such sensors is fed to various VANET devices. There are numerous benefits of VANETs: road safety, public service, driving experience, and vehicle business/entertainment.
Message delivery in mobile networks can be in the form of unicast, multicast, or broadcast. Broadcasting is preferable as it offers a simple technique to spread messages to all vehicles available in the VANET. Broadcasting messages may, however, lead to excessive redundancy, contention, and collision ...
