Abstract

With the ever-rapid development of the wireless communication technology, vehicular networks have been emerging as one of the most promising solutions to reduce vehicle accidents and improve traffic efficiency in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Catering to the aforementioned demands, safety-related information about an accident, blocked streets, and traffic congestion, should be quickly broadcast to nearby vehicles by either vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. As a result, the design of an efficient broadcast protocol has become a relatively nascent research field in vehicular networks recently.
