Detection and Control of Data Congestion in Vehicular Broadcast Networks

Abstract

The term VANETs (Vehicular AdHoc Networks) has gained so much attention from a decade. It is considered to be a crucial move for achieving safety in the field of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). There are many challenges faced in this field of VANETs and data congestion is one of the foremost challenges among all. In this article, initially, detection of the data congestion is done and later few methods have been proposed to control as well as manage this detected data congestion. This paper is divided into two main units named as Congestion Detection Unit, in which two main parameters are elaborated that are being utilized for the detection of data congestion as well as Congestion Control Unit, in which three methods have been proposed to control as well as manage the data congestion. We conclude this article with wondrous additional opinions for choosing of new parameters for the detection of congestion as well as new methods or approaches that can be proposed to handle and control the data congestion in the future.
