A novel multi-channel scheduling algorithm based on cross layer collaboration for vehicular networks

It is no doubt that the DSRC technology will play an important role in ITS. It equipped with seven channels that are designated for rich applications to improve the driving safety and support non-safety services. And there is a multi-channel coordination issue for the latter. This paper proposed a novel multi-channel scheduling algorithm for DSRC networks .The target of the multi-channel scheduling algorithm is to take full advantage of the DSRC frequency resource. The algorithm is suitable for the DSRC multi-channel architecture, and the performance evaluation shows the algorithm is feasible for DSRC.
