Introduction  In Intervehicular Communication (IVC) systems, broadcast is a frequently used method. Possible applications relying on broadcast include  sharing emergency  traffic  weather  road data among vehicles  delivering advertisements  announcements

Introduction  These applications generate packets of various lengths at different rates.  accident warnings are short packets that are generated infrequently  warning packets reporting slippery road conditions are generally short  advertisement packets can be broadcast in very long packets that carry pictures, directions, or even short videos

Goal  Design a special MAC layer for  efficient and reliable multihop message dissemination in VANETs  address the broadcast storm, hidden node, and reliability problems of multihop broadcast in vehicular networks.

Conclusion  Two position-based multihop broadcast protocols for IVC networks have been proposed  The UMB protocol employs repeaters installed at the intersections.  AMB is an extension of the UMB protocol with a fully ad hoc intersection broadcast mechanism.  Design a special MAC layer for  efficient and reliable multihop message dissemination in VANETs  address the broadcast storm, hidden node, and reliability problems of multihop broadcast in vehicular networks.
