Popis: Beacon rate adaption is a way to cope with congestion of the wireless link and it consequently decreases the beacon drop rate and the inaccuracy of information of each vehicle in the network. In a vehicular environment, the beacon rate adjustment is strongly dependent on the traffic condition. Due to this, we firstly propose a new model to detect traffic density based on the vehicle’s own status and the surrounding vehicle’s status. We also develop a model based on fuzzy logic namely the BRAIN-F, to adjust the frequency of beaconing. This model depends on three parameters including traffic density, vehicle status and location status. Channel congestion and information accuracy are considered the main criteria to evaluate the performance of BRAIN-F under both LOS and NLOS. Simulation results demonstrate that the BRAIN-F not only reduces the congestion of the wireless link but it also increases the information accuracy.
