Abstract:
Road safety prevents road users from road accidents like pollution and traffic
congestion. In Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANET), the reliability of communication-related to road safety is very important for vehicular nodes. However, some researches
show that the safety-message transmission in VANET could also be congested under
road safety application because of channel interference. Therefore, the increasing of
spectrum resources is a good way to solve transmission congestion. Hence, we use
cognitive radio enabled VANET(CR-VANET), where CR device can detect possible
idle spectrum for VANET communication system and assist on time broadcast safety-message. With high-speed mobility of vehicular nodes and highest channel availability
of prediction method to avoid mutual channel interference and to reinforce road safety
applications to make sure that support top quality of service requirements with fair
channel allocation model in CR-VANET. Depending on this highest probability of
channel availability prediction method, we will avoid channel mutual interference and
enhance road safety applications employing a fair channel allocation model or fairness
(Jain index) with PUs of vehicular nodes in CR-VANET.
Specifically, the proposed fair channel allocation model has 5 percent detection
performance improvement at false alarm probability of 0.2, decreased the probability
of access conflict by 7 percent at 14 MHz CR, improved probability of application-level packet reception(PRP) by 1.1 percent at vehicular node density of 0.45 veh/m2
and decreased Probability of Application-level delay by 1.8 percent at vehicular node
density of 0.45 veh/m2 as compared with channel availability prediction method.
By using the main evaluation parameters that highly affect the fairness probability of
fair channel allocation model in CR-VANET that are the number of vehicular nodes
and number of channel availability with( Matlab, Simulink, and vanet toolbox) used as
the tools in CR-VANET.
