Multiple-attributes classifiers-based broadcast scheme for vehicular ad-hoc networks

摘要

A multiple-attributes, classifiers-based, broadcast scheme for use in vehicular ad-hoc networks may be employed to assess numerous attributes in order to accurately and effectively determine an appropriate rebroadcast decision for a message received by a vehicle. Various schemes may be employed, comprising one classifier module, or a plurality of classifier modules used in parallel and in accordance with a combination rule function, to effectively examine the attributes contained within a received message and select an appropriate rebroadcast decision, thereby increasing the performance of the vehicular ad-hoc network as a whole. The performance of the broadcast scheme may further be analyzed in a simulation, whereby certain values, such as probability values to be used in the broadcast scheme, may be determined.
