| Abstract | |
Vehicular networks are seen as the key communication solution for intelligent transportation systems. An essential task for the development of solutions for vehicular networks is to understand aspects related to their communication topology along the time, mainly because it is directly impacted by vehicular mobility. In this sense, a natural question that arises is how can we model the communication topology in order to have a real representation of network connectivity? Particularly, this question becomes even more complex when we consider the dynamic behavior of mobility over time. In the literature, there are some efforts that aim to model the topology of a vehicular network to better understand its dynamics. However, we note that current approaches have limitations in the temporal perspective leading to the loss of important information. In this work, we show the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches in the characterization and analysis of vehicular network topology. In addition, we present how a model derived from the temporal network theory can be applied to capture the dynamics of a large-scale realistic vehicular mobility trace. (AU) | |
