Abstract
In this paper, we consider a unidirectional highway road with one entry/exit uniformly distributed on the road interval. One road side unit (RSU) is located on the position of the entry/exit. We build an analytical model to study the network connectivity problem. In building the analytical model, we take into account several parameters, such as vehicle arrival rate, vehicle moving speed, vehicle communication radius, RSU communication radius, highway road length and the probability of vehicles driving through the entry/exit. The analytical model is verified by using simulation tools.
