Abstract
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication assists road-side information exchange granting ease of access and sharing between users. The communication between the vehicles is short-lived due to interference and data congestion in the resource constraint medium. This manuscript introduces a linear adaptive congestion control (LACC) augmenting the benefits of greedy routing and data dissemination model (DDM). LACC focuses on selecting beneficiary vehicle by assessing its end-to-end service capacity and link stability preference. Different from the conventional greedy approach, routing is aided by a linear integer programming module for smart decisions on neighbor selection. The interrupts in data transmission and forwarding due to non-localized vehicles, congested routing paths and paused transmissions are addressed using LACC as a series of linear optimization. This helps to improve the performance of vehicular communication estimated using delay, message delivery, outage, and beacon messages.
