Data transmission in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) often suffers from routing interruptions due to the unstable communication links between vehicles. Over the past decades, many traffic-aware routing protocols have been proposed to alleviate routing interruptions by sensing traffic conditions. However, in most traffic-aware routing protocols, vehicles must transmit a large number of control packets to accumulate traffic information, which may degrade network performance due to the resulting intense competition over the wireless medium. Instead of using control packets, we propose to leverage the beacon mechanism that has been widely used in VANETs to realize traffic awareness. Vehicles broadcast beacons to exchange necessary information with their neighbors periodically. We can leverage this information exchange process among vehicles to replace control packets. To realize this idea, first, a mathematical analysis is provided to demonstrate its feasibility. Then, we propose a concrete protocol to address the technical challenges of using beacons. Extensive simulation results show that our protocol performs better than the state-of-the-art counterparts regarding packet delivery ratio, average delivery time, and network overhead.
