Platooning, which is enabled by vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, is one of the most potential frameworks in the intelligent transport system (ITS) to enhance driving safety and improve traffic capacity. In a platoon, vehicles interact with each other by broadcasting beacons via Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC). In this work, we explore the impact of beacon transmission rate allocation on the network utility which involves not only network performance but also traffic safety and efficiency for the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) composing of a single platoon. An optimization problem aiming at searching for an optimal beacon transmission rate allocation for platoon management is developed based on a network utility maximization framework. Particularly, adopting a synchronized P-persistent repetition (SPR) medium access control (MAC) protocol, an optimal beacon transmission rate allocation to achieve the network utility maximization, is obtained for a platoon at a certain cruise velocity. In the simulation, the correctness of the proposed approach is validated, and its advantages over the benchmark are demonstrated by comparisons.

One of the major factors that affects the distributed network utility maximization(NUM) is the exchange message delay which leads to oscillations due to imperfect response to time-variant channel. In this paper, a novel technique is presented to solve the reverse impact control delay in distributed NUM of wireless mesh networks. Simulation results illustrate better performance.

Classical network utility maximization (NUM) models fail to capture network dynamics, which are of increasing importance for modeling network behaviors. In this paper, we consider the NUM with delivery contracts, which are constraints to the classical model to describe network dynamics. This paper investigates a method to distributively solve the given problem. We first transform the problem into an equivalent model of linear equations by dual decomposition theory, and then use Gaussian belief propagation algorithm to solve the equivalent issue distributively. The proposed algorithm has faster convergence speed than the existing first-order methods and distributed Newton method. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
