Multi-originator data dissemination in VANETs

In the framework of the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks we propose HBEB (Hybrid Based Election Backbone), a distributed algorithm designed to form multiple backbones of vehicles in charge of propagating data in the VANETs in a fast and efficient way. Differently from other clustering approaches we leverage the ETSI Geonetworking recent standard to form and disseminate data in the backbones. We show that the formation of these backbones is quite easy to be implemented while their use enhances the dissemination performance in an urban scenario.
