Abstract

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.
