Abstract

In recent years, the advances of vehicular communication networks (VCNs) have greatly promoted the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). Moreover, by the aid of the vehicular communication and computing technologies, the driving safety and traffic efficiency can be substantially improved. However, the contention-based nature and inability to handle hidden-terminal problems of existed vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications may incur high packet collision probability. To solve this problem, we develop a fog-assisted communication framework for message dissemination in VCNs. Specifically, we propose a centralized time division multiple access (TDMA)-based multiple access control (MAC) protocol that combines the advantages of fog computing to predict and avoid the packet collisions in advance, so that the channel utilization and packet transmission can be improved significantly. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed fog-oriented TDMA-based MAC protocol in urban scenarios.
