Abstract

ABSTRACT A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is designed to enable efficient and authentic node/infrastructure communication. The primary role of VANETs is to distribute time-sensitive safety messages (sm) regularly, which causes packet congestion and broadcast failure due to the network’s limited spectrum. For efficient and reliable delivery, the proposed paper uses a spatial hybrid division multiple access (SDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA) over the control channel interval and hence termed a spatially distributed multichannel MAC (SDM-MAC) protocol. The frequency reuse approach is used to transfer data while efficiently utilising bandwidth, and throughput is considerably enhanced with carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) and with the help of TDMA. Moreover, an adaptive algorithm is proposed for an intelligent channel frame structure using this protocol to manage the highly dynamic scenario. The Markov chain defines the protocol, and the network simulator (NS2) analyses several performance metrics. Comparing the response with two existing MAC protocols, the proposed protocol reduces average latency compared to current MAC methods and improves the packet delivery ratio and throughput by an average of 26% and 28%, respectively.
