Abstract

Connected vehicles are to be a reality in the near future. Vehicles can avoid accidents by communicating with each other. However, there are some problems related to connected vehicles which are not similar to other networks. They are frequent disconnections, highly varying topology, and limited bandwidth. For this reason, medium access protocols used for other networks such as mobile ad hoc networks are not suitable for vehicular communications. Hence, a new set of medium access protocols are developed for vehicular communications. This chapter describes in detail the major advances made in the area of medium access control for vehicular communications.
