    Mobile ad-hoc routing protocols survey for the design of VANET applications
    (IEEE, 2012-08-30) Michoud, Roger
    Vehicular communications are considered as a key factor to improve road safety and enhance urban mobility. The design and deployment of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) involve several decision criterias that lead the research into new challenging tasks to be solved. Routing mechanism is a fundamental component for the success of any vehicular application; the particular features of VANETs - a highly dynamic topology, links frequently disrupted and a fragmented network - require an efficient, robust and scalable routing strategy for each application. In this paper, we present a survey of routing protocols and we also provide a simulation testbed that will be used to assess the performance of the selected protocols. © 2012 IEEE.

    OSA: A VANET application focused in energy efficiency
    (IEEE, 2014-06-04) Orozco, Oscar Arley
    With the growth in the number of vehicles moving through the streets, high vehicular flow has become a mobility and public health problem for governmental institutions and people since time of travel, gasoline consumption, and greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions have suffered an important increase. Hereby, policies and actions are required to reduce the impact of this increase. In this context, we have developed an application for the simulation of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks [VANET] using two software applications: SUMO and OMNeT++. The application we developed optimizes fuel usage and reduces GHG emissions; showing that vehicles following a preset speed (previously studied), gasoline consumption and GHG emissions present a considerable decrease compared to vehicles not running at that speed. © 2014 IEEE.

    Analytical Approach to Model the Fade Depth and the Fade Margin in UWB Channels
    (2010-11-01) Reig, Juan
    In this paper, the variations of the ultrawideband (UWB) channel power as a function of the channel bandwidth are investigated. An analytical approach to characterize the fade depth and the fade margin due to small-scale fading in indoor environments is proposed. The approach is based on the IEEE 802.15.4a ultrawideband channel model and the assumption that the channel power can be modeled by a Gamma distribution. This analytical approach is checked by comparison with results derived through Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that the fade depth and the fade margin are closely related to the channel bandwidth. This analytical approach can be used to design and implement UWB communications systems. © 2006 IEEE.
