A Fading-based Transmission Range Estimation for Routing Metrics of Relay Selection in VaNets

In vehicular ad hoc wireless communication, as well as mobility, the fading and the interference have a significant influence on the reliability of links. In this paper, the routing metrics such as link stability and distance rate between vehicles are estimated taking into account the degradation of transmission range caused by fading. Using these metrics, we propose an adaptive relay vehicle selection mechanism for enhancing routing in vehicular ad hoc network.
