Abstract We present Multi-Channel Beacon (MCB), a novel approach for efficient wide area
data dissemination in vehicular networks using all the DSRC/WAVE channels. Current …

We study the feasibility of multi-channel beaconing for efficient data dissemination in
vehicular networks. Beaconing, ie, sending small one-hop broadcasts in a periodic fashion …

Vehicular ad hoc networks are designed to increase traffic safety by enabling fast reactions
of drivers in critical situations. Vehicles exchange beacon messages about their current state …

Cooperative vehicular networks require the exchange of positioning and basic status
information between neighboring nodes to support higher layer protocols and applications …

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), cooperation between vehicles is needed for proper
performance of safety applications. Beacons are periodically broadcasted by vehicles to …

Abstract In Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), vehicles need to broadcast beacon
messages periodically to ensure the cooperative awareness of vehicles in the vicinity …

The performance of many protocols and applications of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
(VANETs), depends on vehicles obtaining enough fresh information on the status of their …

A key feature of the vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) is to broadcast the beacon
message containing the position, speed, heading, etc. However, the fixed-rate scheme in the …

Connected vehicles have been considered as an effective solution to enhance driving safety
as they can be well aware of nearby environments by exchanging safety beacons …

The IEEE 802.11 p standard has been created for vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to
infrastructure communications. Vehicular networks require vehicles to periodically broadcast …
