Abstract :
We characterize the unicast performance available to applications in infrastructureless vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in terms of connection duration, packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and jitter in both highway and urban VANET environments. The results show the existence of several stringent QoS constraints for unicast applications in infrastructureless VANETs.
