Abstract:Connectivity and data dissemination in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have recently received considerable attention. Due to the unique characteristics of VANETs, the network connectivity is poor and reliable transmission in VANETs is hard to achieve. In this paper, we analyze the connectivity of randomly deployed vehicles on a road in VANETs and show the relation among the connectivity, the vehicle density and the communication radius. The reliable data dissemination scheme based on assisted nodes is studied. The simulation results show our novel scheme increases the network performance in terms of data dissemination rate.

 

Key words:connectivity; data dissemination; vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs)
