METHOD OF MANAGING SINGLE-HOP AND MULTI-HOP BROADCAST IN VEHICULAR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

In vehicular communication networks, reliable delivery of safety messages iscrucial and any transmission collision isto be avoided. A method based on time division multiple access scheme isdescribed. An extra layer is provided to manage and scheduletransmission of safety messages. The extra, message broadcasting handlinglayer (MBH layer) is provided between safety applicationsand medium access control (MAC) layer. Safety messages generated and receivedfrom safety application is spooled in the MBH layerand scheduled by the MBH layer for delivery to the MAC layer for broadcasting.A device to implement the method is also described.
