Intelligent traffic engineering in software-defined vehicular networking based on multi-path routing

Abstract

This paper addresses traffic engineering (TE) issues in software-defined vehicular networking (SDVN). A brief analysis of the features of SDVN, which improves the efficiency of TE in SDVN, is presented. The feasibility of using multi-path routing with TE is substantiated. A procedure and an example of the formation of multiple routes based on a modified wave routing algorithm are given. Considering the features of the SDVN technology, a modified TE method is proposed, which reduces both the time complexity of forming multiple paths and the path reconfiguration time. The dynamic path reconfiguration algorithm is presented.
