Abstract
The methods and systems discussed herein describe how a wireless communication device obtains a reserved time-slot list (RTS-list) to avoid 'merging collisions.' In some examples, a first wireless communication device indirectly obtains the RTS-list from a second wireless communication device with which the first wireless communication device may have a potential “merging collision.” In other examples, a first wireless communication device receives an RTS-list from each of a plurality (or all) of the neighboring wireless communication devices in the VANET and refrains from transmitting data in the time-slots identified in the received RTS-lists. The first wireless communication device may also generate and broadcast an RTS-list that contains the reserved time-slots that were identified in the received RTS-lists. In still further examples, abase station transmits an RTS-list to one or more of the wireless communication devices in order to help avoid “merging collisions.”
