Abstract
Vehicular networks play a critical role in both developing the intelligent transportation system and providing data services to vehicular users (VUs) by incorporating wireless communication and informatics technologies into the transportation system. However, due to the dramatic growth of mobile data traffic and the limited bandwidth of dedicated vehicular communication band, vehicular networks are facing spectrum scarcity problem in which spectrum resource is not sufficient to satisfy the data requirements, and thus the performance is compromised. In this chapter, we first overview the vehicular networks, and then describe the spectrum scarcity problem in vehicular networks, including the causes, and the impacts of the problem on the performance of vehicular networks. At last, the aim of the monograph is provided.
