Cross-Layer Solutions for Enhancing Multimedia Communication QoS over Vehicular Ad hoc Networks

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANET) are a new emergent technology based on wireless ad hoc networks. They are characterized by their high speed nodes, which affect on network topology. This can affect network services, especially those having big packet size and need hi gh bandwidth, such as Multimedia services. Many solutions have been proposed in the literature in order to se rve a better multimedia communication over VANET. In this paper, we will focus on cross-layer solutions becau se of their high performance in term of Quality of Service (QoS). We present a survey of existing cross-layer solutions, which try to enhance multimedia services over VANETs. Works will be classified depending on the nature of information e xchanged and their belonging to OSI Layers.
