A message suppression method for inter-vehicle communications

Abstract

In our previous work, we evaluated the performance of our proposed method for message suppression in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). In this paper, we propose a calculation method of message suppression time for inter-vehicle communications. The proposed method considers time-series data of newly discovered vehicles and neighbors parameters. From the simulation results, we observed that our proposed method increased the efficiency by taking smaller message suppression time than conventional method.
