Abstract
In Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), vehicles need to broadcast beacon messages periodically to ensure the cooperative awareness of vehicles in the vicinity. However, a constant beacon rate may result in channel congestion and severe deterioration of network performance because of limited channel resource. Since service provision technologies with point-to-multipoint (PtM) transmission mode, such as the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) and enhanced MBMS (eMBMS), have been well discussed and standardized, they can be considered as an additional solution appropriate for vehicular applications. In this paper, we propose an effective approach by combining services in VANETs and eMBMS in LTE to solve the distributed congestion control (DCC) problem for VANETs. Through simulation results we demonstrate that the proposal method is capable of combining the advantages of such two heterogeneous networks and attaining good integral performance.
