Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is seen as an emerging solution to improve road safety, highway assistance and traveler comfort accounting to vivid applications including safety, non-safety and infotainment applications. Over the past few years, research paradigm has shifted towards areas such as multi-hop broadcasting, information security, clustering, etc. covering intra-vehicular and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes. Whereas these scenarios provide diversified information dissemination techniques through various applications of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), data dissemination in VANET environment is still a challenging task, mainly due to rapid changes in network topology and frequent disruptions in connectivity. A distinguished area that still lacks significant research contributions is towards designing reliable and efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for vehicular …
