Abstract
The number of sensor nodes in the vehicle has increased significantly due to the increasing of different vehicular applications. Since, the wired architecture is not scalable and flexible because of the internal structure of the vehicle, therefore, there is an increasing level of appeal to design a system in which the wired connections to the sensor nodes are replaced with wireless links. Design a wireless sensor network inside the vehicle is more challenging to other networks, e.g., wireless, sensor and computer networks, because of the complex environment inside the vehicle. In this paper, we design a wireless sensor network for intra-vehicular communications. Firstly, we discuss about the link design between a base station and a sensor node and then we design a network scenario inside the vehicle for reliable communication. Finally, the performance is evaluated in terms of network reliability. The simulation results assist to design a robust system for intra-vehicular communications.
