- An efficient and robust content delivery solution for IEEE 802.11p vehicular environmentsPublication . Calafate, C. T.; Fortino, G.; Fritsch, S.; Monteiro, J. M.; Cano, J. C.; Manzoni, P.Vehicular networking is a new field that is expected to be widely adopted in the near future. One of the key applications inherent to this novel communications paradigm is content delivery to on-board users. In this paper we focus specifically on the design of a robust and efficient broadcast-based content delivery system. In order to reduce the content delivery time to a minimum, we first optimize performance by seeking the optimal packet size for content delivery. This goal is achieved by combining analytical and simulation results, and considering both static and mobile receivers at different distances from the transmitter. Moreover, we develop a full architecture that integrates the FLUTE protocol with different Forward Error Correction (FEC) schemes to achieve efficient content distribution. Through real experiments in a vehicular testbed we demonstrate that Raptor codes are the best option among the different FEC schemes available. In addition, as vehicle speed and/or distance from the broadcasting antenna increases, performance results highlight that adopting efficient FEC schemes becomes mandatory to achieve efficient and reliable data content delivery.

- Efficient content pushing in IEEE 802.11p vehicular environmentsPublication . Fritsch, S.; Calafate, C. T.; Monteiro, J. M.; Cano, J. C.; Manzoni, P.Vehicular networking is a new field that is expected to be widely adopted in the near future. One of the key applications inherent to this novel communications paradigm is content delivery to on-board users. In this paper we focus specifically on broadcast-based content delivery. We propose a content delivery scheme that is optimized for performance in order to improve the maximum amount of data than can be delivered, while also reducing delivery time to a minimum. With this goal our study combines both analytical and simulation results to determine the optimal packet size for content delivery so as to achieve the maximum throughput possible at different distances, and considering both static and mobile receivers. Experimental results show that our optimizations provide efficient delivery of multimedia contents for distances up to 200 meters when relying on IEEE 802.lip based broadcasting. Copyright © 2010 ACM.
