Résumé:
Location-based routings for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
(VANETs) use location information in routing decisions.
However, location-based routing protocols need location services
to query the location information of the communication partner
node so that packets could be forwarded properly. In this paper,
we propose a proactive flooding-based location service which
name is Semi-Flooding Location Service (SFLS). The basic design
objective in our proposal is to minimize the number of update
packets sent over the whole network. We employed a conditional
update technique that manages the number of location updates
at the forwarder nodes. This significantly reduces the overhead
of location updates. To study the effectiveness of our algorithm,
a mathematical model is developed, and some numerical results
are provided. Results demonstrated that SFLS achieves its design
goals.
