I would also like to thank Professor Ivan Stojmenovic deeply for his invaluable advice, encouragement, and guidance throughout my research activities. This thesis could not have been successful without their help. Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge the University of Ottawa for providing me with the opportunity to undertake my Master's degree with financial assistance. Finally, I would like to thank my parents for financing me and encouraging me to pursue higher studies at the University of Ottawa.

Acknowledgment-Based Broadcast Protocol for Reliable and Efficient Data Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

“…The parameterless broadcast in static to highly mobile (PBSM) ad hoc networks protocol [17] makes use of the DS-NES framework to develop an adaptive algorithm which does not depend on any parameter or threshold value. Because of its flexibility and good performance, it is used as the basis of ABSM for vehicular ad hoc networks.…”

Broadcasting in Connected and Fragmented Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

“…The parameter less broadcast is extended and this protocol is one of the extensions. However, this protocol is in the highly mobile and static scenarios (PBSM) [26]. The broadcast packet's acknowledgment is handled by this protocol.…”

“…The additional nodes are the nodes that are addition to those of the sender. A strategy for forwarding is used by the scalable broadcast algorithm (SBA), which is similar to the scheme of the neighbor coverage [26]. However, there are two differences as follows: first, the list of the nodes' one-hop neighbors is not inserted into data messages, but in the Hello packets.…”

Survey over VANET Routing Protocols for Vehicle to Vehicle Communication

“…In Parameter less broadcasting in static to highly mobile wireless ad Hoc (PBSM) [26] nodes does not need to know neighbor information. To eliminate redundant broadcasting it uses connected dominating sets (CDS) and neighbor elimination concepts.…”
