Exploiting Emergent Behavior for Inter-Vehicle Communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce Virtual Ferry Networking (VFN), a novel approach to data dissemination services on mobile adhoc networks. VFN exploits the emergent patterns of vehicles’ mobility to buffer and carry messages when immediately forwarding those messages would fail. Instead of depending on a fixed, small set of vehicles and paths for ferrying messages, VFN allows any vehicle moving along part of a virtual route to become a possible carrier for messages. VFN helps address many of the challenges with supporting distributed applications in challenging ad-hoc vehicular networks with rapidly changing topologies, fast-moving vehicles and signal-weakening obstructions such as bridges and buildings. We discuss the challenges with implementing VFN and present evaluation results from an early prototype.

Decentralized Search by Unmanned Air Vehicles Using Local Communication
We present a model consisting of an emergent procedure for n unpiloted, autonomous flying munitions to cooperatively conduct a parallel sweeping search of a geographic area for specific targets. The control of the unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) is decentralized and follows the reactive, behavior-based design philosophy. Global communication is not available to the UAVs; rather, they rely on passi...
متن کاملSynchronized multi-point attack by autonomous reactive vehicles with simple local communication
We present a model consisting of a swarm of unmanned, autonomous flying munitions to conduct a synchronized multi-point attack on a target. The Unpiloted Air Vehicles (UAVs) lack global communication or extensive battlefield intelligence, instead, relying on passive short-range sensors and simple, inter-agent communication. The multi-point synchronized attack is successfully demonstrated in a s...
متن کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملInter/Intra-Vehicle Wireless Communication
This paper surveys the current state-of-the-art in wireless communication technology within vehicles, as well as between vehicles. Different concepts associated with radio frequency bands and wave propagation simulations as they apply to inter-vehicle communication are analyzed. The Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocols used in inter-vehicle communication are addressed, as are routing pro...
متن کاملCommunication activity in a social network: relation between long-term correlations and inter-event clustering
Human communication in social networks is dominated by emergent statistical laws such as non-trivial correlations and temporal clustering. Recently, we found long-term correlations in the user's activity in social communities. Here, we extend this work to study the collective behavior of the whole community with the goal of understanding the origin of clustering and long-term persistence. At th...
