Abstract
Efficient delivery and maintenance of the quality of service (QoS) of audio/video streams transmitted over VANETs for mobile and heterogeneous nodes are one of the major challenges in the convergence of this network type and these services. In this context, we propose an inter-layer approach for multimedia stream transmission in a VANET environment (VSMENET). The main idea of our work is based on the dynamic adaptation of the transmission rate according to the physical rate available in the VANET. VSMENET is all about eliminating downtime during video playback by vehicle users. This involves adapting the quality of the video to the actual performance of the VANETs, intelligent encoding of video on the Road Side Units (RSU) side, and finally continuous maintenance of the calculation tasks on the RSU side and sufficient video data on the vehicle node side. Thus, we are interested in the process of evaluating the strict parameters of the VANETs, influencing the video transmission. For example, we propose, on the one hand, an architecture for intelligent data selection and good clock synchronization, and, on the other hand, efficient management of the availability and consumption of video data. We used the NetSim simulator to test the proposed approach performance. To this end, several algorithms such as OCLFEC, MAC, ShieldHEVC, and AntArmour have been implemented for such a performance comparison. Our work suggests that VSMENET is well concerning the average lifetime of the video packets and their delivery rate (more than 9% gain compared with other approaches).
