“…Solutions that provide adaptive slot allocation MAC protocols for wireless networks have been proposed in previous studies. [11][12][13] However, they are not adapted to the specific wireless vehicular networks that have specific characteristics such as the high mobility that engenders frequent network connections and disconnections adding to this the variant traffic density in different times and spaces. A Survey on MAC Protocols for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Networks 14 offers a comparative examination of the MAC protocols developed for UAVs using directional and omnidirectional antennas.…”

Vehicular safety applications are based on broadcasting periodic safety beacons on the IEE802.11p control channel. The CSMA MAC scheme adopted in the IEE802.11p cannot ensure the strict timeline and the high reliability when broadcasting these real time and critical messages since it does not consider the high mobility of vehicles, the limited network resources, and the variant traffic densities. Therefore, the design of an effective MAC scheme that takes in consideration these parameters represents a challenging task. Furthermore, the fixed beaconing rate results an overload on the commination channel and collisions especially in dense situations that delay beacons broadcast. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid MAC scheme for fast and reliable broadcast of safety beacons. At first, it relies on a time slot reuse policy that considers the mobility features of vehicles while reducing transmission collisions. In addition, it adapts mathematically the beaconing rate to the traffic density based on vehicular velocity at the aim of optimizing the performance of the wireless channel. Simulation results show that our proposal outperforms significantly the IEEE802.11p CSMA MAC scheme and upgrades the performance of vehicular networks in broadcasting periodic safety beacons.
