An Adaptive Control Structure Based Fast Broadcast Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Multi-hop broadcast schemes are commonly used by safety applications to disseminate urgent messages in vehicular ad hoc networks. Sender-based schemes can effectively decrease the collisions caused by simultaneous transmissions among different candidate forwarders and speed up the whole broadcast progress by piggy-backing extra control information in the broadcast message to candidate forwarders. However, the construction and delivery of control...
