Title
Delay-bounded data gathering in urban vehicular sensor networks
Abstract
Vehicular sensor networks are an emerging network paradigm, suitable for various applications in vehicular environment making use of vehicles' sensors as data sources and Inter-Vehicle Communication systems for the transmissions. We present a solution, based on vehicular sensor networks, for gathering data from a certain geographic area while satisfying with a specific delay bound. The method leverages the time interval during which the query is active in order to make the gathering process efficient, properly alternating data muling and multi-hop forwarding strategies like in delay-bounded routing protocols. Simulations show that our proposed solution succeeds in performing efficient data gathering outperforming other solutions.
