This paper proposes a new fault-tolerant technique for bitonic sorting networks which can be used for designing ATM switches based on Batcher-Banyan network. The main goal in this paper is to design a cost-effective fault-tolerant bitonic sorting network. In order to recover a fault, additional comparison elements and additional links are used. A Dynamic Redundant Bitonic Sorting (DRBS) network is based on the Dynamic Redundant network and can be constructed with several different variations. The proposed fault-tolerant sorting network offers high fault-tolerance; low time delays; maintenance of cell sequence; simple routing; and regularity and modularity.

Safety-related messages are propagated in form of broadcasting among vehicles in vehicle safety communication. There is the broadcast storm problem in high density vehicle environments. To solve this problem, a distance-based broadcast scheme has been proposed. It causes a serious problem such as retransmission delay in low density vehicle environments since it requires additional defer time to rebroadcast messages. This paper proposes a distance and random-based broadcast scheme. The proposed scheme selects a random time from zero to the defer time that estimated depending on the distance between sending and receiving vehicles. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme requires shorter defer time and less rebroadcasting message than existing schemes.
