Abstract

An ad hoc network consisting of vehicles has emerged as an interesting but challenging domain where a lot of new application may find their place. Though research in this field is on since last two decades, large-scale practical implementation still require some time. In this paper, a survey of current challenges and potential applications, incorporating medium access control schemes, routing approaches, hardware and spectrum issues, and security and privacy issues for VANETs, is presented.
