Architecture of Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks

Due to the high mobility of vehicles and the dynamic topology changes of Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET), it is difficult to provide satisfied ITS services only through a single wireless network. Consequently, by integrating different wireless access networks such as LTE and DSRC, the HetVNET is expected to be a good platform that can meet various demanding communications requirements of ITS services. In this chapter, we first present a framework of the HetVNET [1]. Several HetVNET candidate communications techniques are then discussed for comparison purposes.
