Abstract

In-network data aggregation is a useful technique to reduce redundant data and improve communication efficiency. One challenge in data aggregation is how reports can be routed to the same node so that the reports can be merged. Most of existing approaches rely on maintaining a routing structure to achieve this purpose. However, these approaches are not applicable to the mobile environment of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). In this paper, we design a cooperative model to facilitate the aggregation of adjacent traffic reports. The basic idea behind this work is that we can adaptively change the forwarding delay of individual reports in a manner that a report can have a better chance to meet other reports. The decision is made distributedly by each vehicle based on local observations. Actually, our scheme is also a tradeoff between communication overhead and propagation delay. Simulation results based on realistic map data and traffic models demonstrate that our scheme can effectively reduce communication overhead with acceptable delay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
