VANET Modelling and Statistical Properties of Connectivity in Urban Environment
Abstract
This paper proposes a new approach for modelling Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) based on stochastic geometry and point processes, where road systems are modelled as random lines process and vehicle’s locations on a road are linear Poisson point processes. We derive some functions, which show the connectivity properties of VANETs under the impact of fading and path loss, that can be used for large vehicular networks analysis.
