“…To improve the scalability of beacon dissemination, many schemes have been proposed which can be classified into the contention-free based and the contention-based. The main idea for typical contention-free solutions is that vehicles are grouped into a cluster in which the cluster head is responsible for allocating time division multiple access (TDMA) slot to other cluster members [96], [97]. As for typical contention-based solutions, the networking parameters, such as the beacon frequency, beacon dwelling time, transmit power and contention window size, are adjusted adaptively in accordance with the changing traffic conditions to achieve better system performance [98]- [108].…”

Abstract-Vehicles on the road with some common interests can cooperatively form a platoon-based driving pattern, in which a vehicle follows another one and maintains a small and nearly constant distance to the preceding vehicle. It has been proved that, compared to driving individually, such a platoon-based driving pattern can significantly improve the road capacity and energy efficiency. Moreover, with the emerging vehicular adhoc network (VANET), the performance of platoon in terms of road capacity, safety and energy efficiency, etc., can be further improved. On the other hand, the physical dynamics of vehicles inside the platoon can also affect the performance of VANET. Such a complex system can be considered as a platoon-based vehicular cyber-physical system (VCPS), which has attracted significant attention recently. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on platoon-based VCPS. We first review the related work of platoon-based VCPS. We then introduce two elementary techniques involved in platoon-based VCPS: the vehicular networking architecture and standards, and traffic dynamics, respectively. We further discuss the fundamental issues in platoon-based VCPS, including vehicle platooning/clustering, cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), platoon-based vehicular communications, etc., and all of which are characterized by the tight coupled relationship between traffic dynamics and VANET behaviors. Since system verification is critical to VCPS development, we also give an overview of VCPS simulation tools. Finally, we share our view on some open issues that may lead to new research directions.Index Terms-Platoon, Cyber-physical system (CPS), Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET), Platoon-based vehicular communications, Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), Simulator.

“…The main idea for typical centralized beaconing scheme is that vehicles are grouped into a cluster in which the cluster head is responsible for allocating TDMA slots to other cluster members [8], [10], [11]. In [8], the authors proposed a contention-free broadcast protocol for periodic safety messages in vehicular networks.…”

Abstract-With the advances of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, individual vehicles can now exchange information to improve traffic safety, and some vehicles can further improve safety and efficiency by coordinating their mobility via cooperative driving. To facilitate these applications, many studies have been focused on the design of inter-vehicle message dissemination protocols. However, most existing designs either assume individual driving pattern or consider cooperative driving only. Moreover, few of them fully exploit infrastructures, such as cameras, sensors, and road-side units (RSUs). In this paper, we address the design of message dissemination that supports heterogeneous driving patterns. Specifically, we first propose an infrastructure-assisted message dissemination framework that can utilize the capability of infrastructures. We then present a novel beacon scheduling algorithm that aims at guaranteeing the timely and reliable delivery of both periodic beacon messages for cooperative driving and event-triggered safety messages for individual driving. To evaluate the performance of the protocol, we develop both theoretical analysis and simulation experiments. Extensive numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.

“…Almalag et al [21] proposed a TDMA Cluster-based MAC for VANETs (TC-MAC) that integrates the advantage of clustering and the TDMA slot reservation scheme thus efficiently avoid collisions and decrease the packet drop ratio. However, it only considered the one hop intra-cluster communication.…”

The IEEE 802.11p is a standard in a vehicular communication system, known as Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE). An implementation of that standard as the MAC Protocol in a high-density of nodes in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) may create a performance drawback, in particular for packet loss and delay whenever collisions happen. Introducing Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) schemes can improve the performance. However, TDMA scheduling is difficult to manage the case of high-density of traffic, the high mobility of vehicles, and dynamic network topology. This journal proposes a clustered-based TDMA by traffic priority in VANETs. The clustered traffic is defined as high and low traffic priority and embedded in TDMA MAC Header. The evaluation result obtained through NS3 Simulator shows that the proposed approach performed better in a high-density of nodes.
