Study on the connectivity model of VANET based on 802.11p/WAVE and its application by Ye LIU, Guo-xin WU

“…Firstly,a vehicular mobility model was proposed for the freeway traffic scenarios.Then the connectivity pa-rameters of VANET,such as the connected probability between any two cars,the diameter size of connected cluster and the number of connected cluster,were analyzed.And on the basis of these,the conclusion that the location of VANET node at one time snapshot meets the gamma distribution was drawn.Furthermore,a VANET message package format considering flooding message number was designed,in which TTL field was discussed in detail by introducing the ana-lytic expression of connectivity model.Finally,simulations also verify the conclusion.The connectivity model proposed should provide an important theoretical basis for the upper-level protocols of VANET WAVE stack.…”

Conditional diagnosability of exchanged crossed cube under the MM model by Chen GUO, Ming LEMG, Shuo PENG, Bo WANG

“…Exchanged crossed cube (ECQ) was the latest achievement in the study of novel interconnection network topology.ECQ retained the advantages of hypercube such as recursive structure,high partitionability and strong connectivity,with better properties than other variations of hypercube in terms of the smaller diameter,fewer links,and lower cost factor,which indicated more balanced consideration among performance and cost.As the study object,after topological analyzing,some important topological properties and connectivity theorems of ECQ were introduced,then the conditional diagnosability of ECQ(s,t)was determined under the MM model,which was 3s 2− for t≥s≥2.The research results will provide the key parameters for the reliability evaluation of ECQ in the future.So it has important theoretical significance and application value.…”
