SS-MAC: A Novel Time Slot-Sharing MAC for Safety Messages Broadcasting in VANETs

چکیده
Efficient and scalable media access control (MAC) protocol design is crucial to guarantee the reliable broadcast of safety messages in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). To devise a MAC for safety message broadcasting with reliability and minimum delay, in this paper, we propose a novel time slotsharing MAC, referred to as SS-MAC, which can support diverse periodical broadcasting rates. In specific, we first introduce a circular recording queue to online perceive time slot occupying status. We then design a distributed time slot sharing (DTSS) algorithm and random index first fit (RIFF) algorithm, to efficiently share the time slot and make the on-line vehicleslot matching, respectively. We prove theoretically the efficacy of DTSS algorithm, and evaluate the efficiency of RIFF algorithm by using Matlab simulations. Finally, we conduct extensive simulations considering various driving scenarios and resource conditions to demonstrate the SS-MAC performance.

متن کاملThe Cost of Global Broadcast Using Abstract MAC Layers
We analyze greedy algorithms for broadcasting messages throughout a multi-hop wireless network, using a slot-based model that includes message collisions without collision detection. Our algorithms are split formally into two pieces: a high-level piece for broadcast and a low-level piece for contention management. We accomplish the split using abstract versions of the MAC layer to encapsulate t...
