Performance evaluation of the V2I fair access with a finite retry limit.

This paper evaluates the performance of the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) fair access with a finite retry limit through constructing an analytical model. Firstly, the process of the distributed coordination function (DCF) mechanism with a finite retry limit is described through developing a 2-D Markov chain; based on the Markov chain, the transmission probability with the access parameters including the minimum window and the retry limit is derived. Then, considering the V2I unfair access problem, the relationship between the velocity and the transmission probability of a vehicle is derived. Based on the proposed model, given a finite retry limit, the minimum window of a vehicle can be determined according to its velocity. In the simulation, the proposed model is justified to be effective and the V2I fair access performance with a finite retry limit is evaluated through comparison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
