* May 15, 2008 Extending Drive-Thru Data Access by Vehicle-to-Vehicle Relay Jing Zhao Todd Arnold Yang Zhang Guohong Cao Pennsylvania State University September 15th, 2008 Introduction Focus “Drive-thru access“ [Ott and Kutscher, infocom’04] Drivers/passengers in vehicles to roadside access point (AP) when they are passing by the APs (drive-thru). Drive-thru access obtains the best throughput for uploading/downloading data. Key issue Short connection time. Large portion of the connection time in the poor link quality area. Our solution Use two wireless interfaces Find relay vehicles to extend the connection range. Feasibility of Relay Experiment Move the laptop along the streetand test the performance of both one-hop and two-hop relay connection with the AP. 802.11b based devices Metrics (at different locations) Test packet delivery ratio by checking beacon message delivery. Test UDP throughput. Observations Delivery ratio Short distance from AP (e.g. within 57m) Packet loss low Fairly long distance from AP (e.g. outside 57m) Vehicle can establish connectivity with AP Packet loss is very high Throughput One hop High and stable throughput within 57m Link outside 57m is not useful for data transmission Relay Able to obtain high and stable throughput when one hop link failed for data transmission Useful discoveries Existence of a critical range Relay is effective when vehicles are outside the critical range Beacon delivery ratio UDP throughput Vehicle to Vehicle Relay (V2VR) Forward Relay Find a vehicle in front of itself to access AP before entering the AP coverage or at the fringe of the AP coverage area. Backward Relay Find a vehicle behind to relay traffic when leaving the AP coverage area and the connection with the AP becomes poor. Select the relay before entering AP coverage Issues How to find a relay among highly mobile vehicles? How to enable the relay process on the fly? Finding a Proper Relay Considerations Link quality, location, relative mov
