Abstract

We simulate inter-vehicular data traffic on a motorway using a multi-hop network with a cluster-based ad-hoc regime over 802.11 spread-spectrum wireless. Both the protocol and its application are novel and are germane to demanding access point deployment environments such as motorways, battlefields and disaster zones. Packet voice sustainability is plotted as a function of inter-vehicle velocity for a dual carriage motorway with constrained lanes. Finally a comparison between FHSS and DSSS wireless with the algorithm is presented.
