Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Multi-Channel Multi-hop Medium Access Control (HMM-MAC) meeting the safety and non-safety requirements in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks when no infrastructure is present (V2V communication) with only a single transceiver at each vehicle. The simulation results showed that our scheme could achieve a higher delivery ratio of road safety messages and a high probability to select a free transmission channel in a certain region and during a certain time.
