Methods, apparatus and computer program products for propagating data in an ad-hoc network |
摘要 |
The disclosed technology uses a visibility function within a network environment, in particular a vehicular ad hoc network, that includes a set of nodes. At least one of nodes can directly transmit to one or more of a subset of the set of nodes. The visibility function characterizes a non-uniform resolution profile within the network environment that extends over at least one node outside the subset of nodes. The sent situation information is conditioned to propagate through the network environment according to the visibility function. The node can also receive situation information that includes a visibility parameter. Once the situation information is received, the node can evaluate the visibility parameter to determine whether the situation information is eligible for continued propagation through the network environment. If situation information is eligible for continued propagation the node then prepares to transmit the situation information.
