Ad-hoc Medium Access Control Protocol Design and Analysis for Vehicle Safety Communications

In this paper, the authors study the design of ad-hoc Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for a vehicle or the roadside for the purpose of sending safety messages to other vehicles. This type of a protocol is needed by Advanced Vehicle Safety Systems (AVSS) and the national Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) architecture. The authors propose several ad-hoc protocols, all based on the principles of repetition coding. The protocols' performance is compared via simulation in order to dtermine the probability of reception success and channel busy time.
