| description | Large numbers of software-defined sensor devices have formed a basic infrastructure for data collection. One of the challenges is how to update the program codes of devices in a low-cost and reliable style. This paper figures that the vehicular wireless networks (VWNs), combined with a base station (BS) platform, can play a significant role in disseminating program codes in a smart city. A code dissemination algorithm that selects vehicles as disseminators is proposed to accomplish the coverage ratio of codes and benefits of vehicular disseminators in a reliable manner and to reduce the costs of the BS. The algorithm targets to make the disseminators to achieve more coverage regions of a code. The benefit distribution method, which targets the improvement of benefits in suburban regions and encourages vehicle owners, is redefined and differs from previous benefit distribution schemes. Through disseminating, the vehicles can obtain more benefits, and the costs of the BS can be reduced. We ultimately simulate the performances of the selection algorithms with GPS datasets to prove the progressiveness of the “Code Disseminations through Opportunistic Communication in Vehicular Wireless Networks”(CD-VWNs) scheme in terms of coverage and benefits. The benefit-ratio performance criterion can be improved by 21.078% over other models. The coverage-ratio performance criterion can result in an improvement of 31.94% over other selection schemes. The evaluation metric Zr performance criterion can result in an improvement of approximately 25.256%. With the CD-VWNs scheme, loss of codes can be decreased, and the dissemination system remains reliable and survivable. |
