Experimental Analysis of Broadcast Reliability in Dense Vehicular Networks

This article presents preliminary results of an experimental validation of 802.11 MAC performance in high-density vehicular networks. Although saturation throughput performance for single-hop IEEE 802.11 networks has been studied extensively, this research represents the first large-scale experimental study of its kind that uses 100 802.11 nodes to measure performance for many-to-many broadcast applications. Using a laboratory setting with controlled interference, it allows in-depth analysis through repeatable experiments, with precisely known configurations. The key contributions of this work are included and discussed.
