Surprisingly, it is found that DCC has little impact, and, in certain scenarios, it may even lead to performance degradation with respect to the case where the legacy IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol is implemented.
Abstract
Vehicular ad hoc networks are expected to suffer from channel congestion, due to the high number of vehicles moving on the roads, the limited available bandwidth and the many applications that they will support. In order to mitigate such problem, ETSI has recently specified the Decentralized Congestion Control (DCC) mechanisms for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) operating in the 5 GHz range. Although they are already part of the standard, very few results exist on the DCC performance. In this work, we aim at filling this gap by investigating the impact on the system performance of the single DCC mechanisms, as well as their joint effect when they are all implemented at the DCC access layer. Surprisingly, we find that DCC has little impact, and, in certain scenarios, it may even lead to performance degradation with respect to the case where the legacy IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol is implemented.

Congestion control for vehicular safety: synchronous and asynchronous MAC algorithms

TL;DR: A standard compliant TDM overlay on top of the MAC layer that can significantly improve the packet reception performance and combined with a distributed resource selection protocol can discover even more neighboring devices than the improved asynchronous approach, making DSRC safety applications more reliable.

Dice the TX power — Improving Awareness Quality in VANETs by random transmit power selection

TL;DR: This paper proposes to leverage recurring interferences by randomly selecting each TX power following a given probability distribution, and the probability distribution provides control to the applications regarding the required Awareness Quality, in particular by providing a higher Awareness Quality at close range.

Urban VANETs and hidden terminals: Evaluation through a realistic urban grid propagation model

TL;DR: A new urban model (called Reliable Urban Grid - RUG) is proposed as an extension of an already validated propagation model of urban corners to more complex grid topologies, showing the higher impact of collisions by hidden terminals on standard contention-based medium access control protocols when compared to slotted solutions.

TL;DR: The results of extensive tests that compare four on-board equipment (OBE) devices sending safety messages show that some devices consistently perform moderately better than others, and some configurations appear well suited for supporting collision avoidance safety applications, while others do not.
