—In this paper, we propose a novel protocol called VC-MAC that utilizes the concept of cooperative communication tailored for vehicular networks, especially for gateway downloadi...
Cooperative relaying methods can improve wireless links, but introduce overhead due to relay selection and resource reservation compared to non-cooperative transmission. In order t...
