Synthesis of Reactive Protocols for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication (1210.2035v1)

Abstract: We present a synthesis method for communication protocols for active safety applications that satisfy certain formal specifications on quality of service requirements. The protocols are developed to provide reliable communication services for automobile active safety applications. The synthesis method transforms a specification into a distributed implementation of senders and receivers that together satisfy the quality of service requirements by transmitting messages over an unreliable medium. We develop a specification language and an execution model for the implementations, and demonstrate the viability of our method by developing a protocol for a traffic scenario in which a car runs a red light at a busy intersection.
