Abstract

The recent release of standards for vehicular communications will hasten the development of smart cities in the following years. However, the standards do not define efficient schemes for infotainment dissemination over urban networks. These networks present special features and difficulties that may require special measures. In a previous work, we proposed three different schemes. The preliminary results of the three were satisfying but we still had to explore the values for some parameters that affect significantly their behavior. In this article, we tackle this task. Our findings clear up the strengths and weaknesses of each scheme and open the door to new advances.
