Architecture
• Each vehicle in the cluster will receive a local ID (from 0
to N).
• The CH will have always ID 1.
• ID 0 is reserved for a “virtual vehicle”.

Conclusion
• We presented TC-MAC as a cluster-based TDMA
scheduling protocol for VANETs.
• We also explained a light weight slot reservation
algorithm.
• The simulation results show that TC-MAC is able
to efficiently and reliably deliver safety
messages.
• TC-MAC gives vehicles a chance to send and
receive non-safety messages at any time.

Notes de l'éditeur
One of the challenges for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) is the design of the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol.When exchanging messages between vehicles, there are network issues that must be addressed, including the hidden terminal problem, high density, high node mobility, and data rate limitations.A cluster-based MAC scheme is needed in VANETs to overcome the lack of specialized hardware for infrastructure and the mobility to support network stability and channel utilization.
-In the US, VANETs use 75 MHz of spectrum in the 5.850 to 5.925 GHz band specially allocated by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication (V2I) using Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology [19].
Since safety applications of vehicular communicationhave stringent reliability and delay requirements, giving eachvehicle the time to send safety messages without interferingwith other vehicles is required. Also, safety messages arebased on broadcast transmission, so, using the IEEE 802.11RTS/CTS mechanism for collision avoidance is not feasiblein VANETs.Safety messages need to be sent every 100 msec.In high density, CCH interval will be higher than the SCH interval. So, non-safety mesg will be almost stopped.Traffic density: Low = 40Medium = 80High = 160
It divides the signal into different time frames.Each frame is divided into several time slots, where each node is assigned to a time slot to transmit.The length of the time slot may vary, based on the needs of the node assigned to it.The main advantage of TDMA is reducing interference between nodes.
