This intermittency in 802.11-based vehicular communications is termed as “disruption”. Disruption is the major obstacle in the wide spread use of 802.11-based R2V communications. While disruption cannot be completely eradicated without extra deployment of APs, various attempts have been made to reduce or tolerate it. Some of the common approaches adopted to tolerate disruption are:
