title = "An efficient SCH utilization scheme for IEEE 1609.4 multi-channel environments in VANETs",
abstract = "The current IEEE 1609.4 standard defines multi-channel operations to alternate control and service channel intervals during a period of 100ms. However, there is no mention of service channel selection for a service provider, which allows hidden service providers to select the same service channel. This limitation can cause the hidden terminal problem during the service channel intervals, leading to significant performance deterioration. Without modifying the existing standards, our proposed scheme enables hidden service providers to avoid selecting the same service channel by delivering their candidate service channel number in the optional field of the basic safety message (BSM). Through extensive simulations, it is verified that the packet reception ratio can be improved by up to 23% in typical broadcast scenarios.",
