Simulation performance metrics.

MetricDescription

End-to-end delayThe safety message dissemination single-hop delay
Packet reception ratio (PRR)The percentage of nodes that successfully receive a packet from a tagged node given that all the receivers are within the transmission range of the sender at the moment that the packet is sent out [18]
Packet transmission ratio (PTR)The percentage of nodes that successfully transmit a packet given the prevailing contention for channel access
