N2 - Alert messaging protocols based on vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are speculated as promising on-board applications for improving road safety. This work presents a novel alert broadcasting protocol based on estimated link qualities. Link quality estimations are based on the proposed BiDirectional Stable Communication (BDSC) protocol which aims at achieving high reachability of alert messages. The new protocol makes better selection of relay nodes during multi-hop broadcasts, resulting in reachability improvement of alert messages over a platoon of vehicles. Simulation experiments reveal that in dense traffic scenarios, reachability of the proposed BDSC protocol outperforms the conventional furthest distance based relay selection protocols by more than 20%.
