In this paper we present an analytical model to investigate the connectivity properties of one-dimensional VANETs in the presence of channel randomness from a queuing theoretic perspective. Connectivity is one of the most important issues in VANETs to ensure reliable dissemination of time-critical information. The effect of channel randomness caused by fading is incorporated into the analysis by modeling the transmission range of each vehicle as a random variable. With exponentially distributed inter-vehicle distances we use an equivalent M G 1 queue for the connectivity analysis. Assuming that the network consists of a large number of finite clusters we obtain analytical expressions for the average connectivity distance and the expected number of vehicles in a connected cluster taking into account the underlying wireless channel. Three different fading models are considered for the analysis Rayleigh Rician and Weibull. The effect of log normal shadow fading is also analyzed. A distancedependent power law model is used to represent the path loss in the channel. Further the speed of each vehicle on the highway is assumed to be a Gaussian distributed random variable. The analytical model is useful to assess VANET connectivity properties in a fading channel. Keywords connectivity distance fading channels highway vehicle speed vehicular ad hoc networks. 2 1.
