| Safety Applications in Vehicular Ad-Hoc
Networks (VANETs) pose tough requirements to the communication
system: It has to strictly follow given quality-of-service
constraints or to get along with very sparse or very dense
networks. While the networking community works hard on these
problems, their solutions are very often hard to integrate into
well-known protocol or network-programming architectures. On the
other hand, vehicular safety experts desire well-defined
programming interfaces for the communication part of their
applications. Very often, this is solved by using only the most
simple network protocols such as single-hop broadcast or
simplistic flooding, neglecting results of Ad-Hoc research. In
this paper, we study the problems created by this dilemma and
propose SLOPE (SeLf-Organizing Communication with Protocol
Elements), an attempt to separate protocol functionality in
application and communication domain leaving the common protocol
practice with network layering and sockets. With this system and
our current approach of implementation, creating VANET safety
application protocols becomes as simple as extending a Java class
and filling out some methods. |
