Target Applications

• Safety Applications in Vehicular

networks

• Emergency Vehicle approaching warning – “Seconds

Can Save a Life!”

• Collision Avoidance/Warning

Distress Warning Message

Playground: The vehicle to

vehicle channel• Fading

• Shadowing due to static and mobile obstructionsobstructions

• Channel coherence time

(at times tens of msecs)– Long for MAC retries to be effective

– Too short for Routing protocol adaptation

Goals

• Maximizing Reliability

• Minimizing Delay

Talk Objectives

• Show overheads in dynamic routing lead

to slow adaptation to the channel.

– High reliability incurs large delays and – High reliability incurs large delays and

jitter.

• Show exploiting spatial diversity leads to

high reliability and low delays.

Spatial Diversity – What?

•All other cars that receive a message can help deliver it•Diversity as the different channels are uncorrelated

Potentially how large are

spatial diversity gains?spatial diversity gains?

• Compare common MAC ARQ schemes

with spatial diversity.

• Ignore protocol implementation overheads.• Ignore protocol implementation overheads.

– Packet transmission times are considered

– Packet transmissions start at fixed intervals

– After a total of 16 transmissions (15 retries) a packet is

dropped.

Fixed Forwarder STOP and WAIT

Fix a forwarder (say FW1) using a routing protocol like AODV

Use STOP and WAIT ARQ between FW1 and CAR1

Spatial Diversity

Channels

Both FW1 and FW2 can forward.

The forwarder with the good channel forwards.•Channel = (FW1->CAR1) OR (FW2->CAR1)

Channels are OR-ed

Use Freeway measurements for trace

based emulation

GeoMAC

How it enables spatial diversity…

How do we Exploit Spatial Diversity?

• Co-operative ARQ

– Cars that receive a message take turns forwarding the

message until it is delivered successfully.message until it is delivered successfully.

• GeoMAC enables taking of turns in a distributed

manner using Geo-backoff

Geo-Backoff

• Use Euclidean distance to destination as a

heuristic.

– We assume that nodes have location information – We assume that nodes have location information

(for example GPS)

• Each node sets a back-off timer which is an

increasing function of its distance from

destination.

GeoMAC Timing

Backoff calculation

• Backoff at FW = (d /δ) * (slot time)

• Backoff at FWn = (dn/δ) * (slot time)– δ is the expected minimum spatial separation

between any two forwarders.

• In vehicular networks δ ~ 5m on packed freeways.

GeoMAC Evaluation

• AODV, GPSR vs. GeoMAC.

• AODV uses Dynamic Routing + STOP and WAIT

• GPSR uses Neighbor lists + STOP and • GPSR uses Neighbor lists + STOP and WAIT.

– Neighbor lists are updated via beacons (1 per sec)

• We compare throughput-delaycharacteristics

GeoMAC Evaluation

• Channel assumptions

– Channels between the SRC and the forwarders are assumed perfect.

– The channel between FW1 and DST is emulated by the trace Car1by the trace Car1

– The channel between FW2 and DST is emulated by the trace Car2

In Summary…

• Spatial diversity can achieve low

and bounded delays and high

delivery rates in comparison to typical delivery rates in comparison to typical

STOP and WAIT ARQ schemes.

• Co-operative ARQ can exploit

spatial diversity.

• Proposed GeoMAC that • Proposed GeoMAC that

implements Co-operative ARQ

using Geo Backoff

• GeoMAC incurs low mean delays

delays range from 24.7–300msec.delays range from 24.7–300msec.

• GeoMAC achieves packet delivery

Questions?

The schemes…

• Fixed Forwarder Retransmit

– Pre-select a forwarder and use STOP and WAIT ARQ to the destination.

• Blind Forwarder Selection Retransmit• Blind Forwarder Selection Retransmit

– Retry via the other forwarder on channel error

• Spatial Diversity

– Don’t preselect forwarders.

– The forwarder with good channel to destination transmits.
