Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new cross-layer communication protocol for vehicular internet access along highways which is called the Controlled Vehicular Internet Access (CVIA) protocol. The objective of the new protocol is to increase the end-to-end throughput while achieving fairness in bandwidth usage between road segments. CVIA creates single-hop vehicle clusters and mitigates the hidden node problem by dividing the road into segments and controlling the active time of each segment. Simulation results confirm that the proposed CVIA protocol provides higher throughput and better fairness in multi-hop data delivery in vehicular networks when compared with purely IEEE 802.11 based protocols.
