This study introduces a Distributed Medium Channel Allocation (DMCA) strategy for Internet of Vehicles communication, improving channel utilization and reducing collisions in diverse environments. The new method enhances vehicle network efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Vehicular Communication Networks
- Wireless Communication Systems
- Network Protocols
Background:
- Vehicle communication faces challenges like collisions due to high traffic volume and inefficient channel allocation in varying environments.
- Existing models like Enhanced Non-Cooperative Cognitive division Multiple Access (ENCCMA) offer solutions but incur Medium Access Control (MAC) overhead and lack environmental adaptability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel Distributed Medium Channel Allocation (DMCA) strategy for multi-channel vehicular networks.
- To address the limitations of existing methods by reducing MAC overhead and improving performance across different environmental conditions.
Main Methods:
- Developed a Distributed Medium Channel Allocation (DMCA) strategy by segmenting control time slots into appointment and safety periods.
- Utilized the SIMITS simulator to evaluate performance metrics including throughput, collision rates, and successful packet transmission.
Main Results:
- The proposed DMCA strategy significantly enhanced channel utilization in vehicular networks.
- Demonstrated a notable reduction in communication overhead and collision occurrences compared to existing methods.
- Validated improved performance across various simulated environmental conditions.
Conclusions:
- The Distributed Medium Channel Allocation (DMCA) strategy offers a more efficient and robust solution for vehicular communication.
- This approach effectively balances channel usage and minimizes overhead, paving the way for improved safety and reliability in connected vehicle systems.

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
