Abstract

In large urban spaces, like cities, VANETs are formed by vehicles of highly variable speed and uneven geographic node distribution. Due to the ad-hoc nature of such environments, communication systems must seamlessly adapt to abrupt topology changes to keep the vehicular network organized. Maintain connectivity is hard; a possible naive strategy is based upon expensive on-demand reconnections. Another approach relies on controlled message epidemics. Both of them need to adjust communication behavior under different density situations. Thus, infrastructure-free density estimation methods are becoming popular solutions for this problem. Our paper contributes to this area using a unique density estimation method, independent of beaconing and neighbor discovery (which might generate network congestion), free of cooperative orchestration and based on long-term stability metrics. Our method is validated using vehicular mobility traces, showing outstanding group prediction and stability. (AU)
