Modeling resource sharing for a road-side access point supporting drive-thru internet

摘要: Drive-thru Internet systems are multiple-access wireless networks in which users moving vehicles can connect to a road-side access point (AP) obtain connectivity for some period of time as the pass through AP's coverage range. In order evaluate type communication services and quality-of-service that these provide, this paper, we investigate data performance vehicle systems. particular, derive practical analytical models with tractable solutions characterize average distribution number bytes downloaded by end its sojourn an range, presence other contending same resources. Our able quantify impact road traffic density, speed, service penetration rate, transmission range corresponding bit on amount individual vehicle. terms analysis technique, map study our vehicular downloading process into transient series Markov reward processes. use model is novel sense only select from chain, subset relevant sample paths matches required behavior flow model. Using simulations, also perform sensitivity verify modeling assumptions. We believe work offers unique framework based interplay between parameters vehicle's system be studied optimized systematic, quantitative manner.
