This paper presents a connectivity improvement strategy for sparse free-flow Vehicular Ad hoc Networks(VANETs) subject to channel randomness. We first model the connectivity of VANETs in the form of mean broadcast percolation distance based on the equivalent M/G/∞ queue theory. Thereafter, to addres...
