Improving performance of Map Updates through Satellite Communications in Vehicular Networks

摘要

In this paper, we propose to extend the WAVE Architecture with satellite, WiFi and cellular technologies. Many applications can be considered in vehicular networks which can be provided through one or several communication systems. In this paper, the map update application has been considered over different technologies. Simulations were run using NS3 simulator to compare the behavior of files downloads with 802.lip and with other technologies. The aim is to optimize the necessary amount of resource, and to determine the best combination of technologies to download maps.
