Abstract
In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), emergency messages broadcasting has been considered as one of the important parts for safety related applications. The efficiency and reliability of the emergency message broadcasting are severely affected by the network structure, message redundancy, channel contention, etc. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose an RSUs-assisted hybrid emergency message broadcasting (RA-HEMB) protocol for two-way grid roads in urban VANETs. In doing so, the broadcasting target region is first generated based on the instantaneous traffic status and types of the emergency messages. To balance the deliver latency and the reliability, an adaptive forwarding nodes selection scheme based on position is proposed to dynamically determine the forwarding area according to different vehicle densities and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication ranges. Then, based on the forwarding nodes selection scheme and roadside unit (RSU) deployment, an RA-HEMB protocol is established by properly utilizing both the wired links via RSUs and the wireless links to broadcast the emergency message in hybrid vehicular networks. Simulation results show that the proposed RA-HEMB can greatly shorten the broadcasting time needed to notice the nodes within the target region performance compared to the benchmark protocols.
