Stochastic Analysis of a Single-Hop Communication Link in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a promising addition to our future intelligent transportation systems, which supports various safety and infotainment applications. The high node mobility and frequent topology changes in VANETs impose new challenges in maintaining a long-lasting connection between network nodes. As a result, the lifetime of communication links is a crucial issue in VANET development and operation. This paper presents a probabilistic analysis of the communication link in VANETs for three vehicle density ranges. First, we present the stationary distribution of the communication link length using mesoscopic mobility models. Second, we propose a stochastic microscopic mobility model that captures time variations of intervehicle distances (distance headways). A discrete-time finite-state Markov chain with state-dependent transition probabilities is proposed to model the distance headway. Third, the proposed stochastic microscopic model and first passage time analysis are used to derive the probability distribution of the communication link lifetime. Numerical results are presented to evaluate the proposed model, which demonstrate a close agreement between analytical and simulation results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
