Abstract

The use of IEEE 802.11p for supporting intelligent transportation systems (ITS) allows a wide spectrum of applications providing vehicle occupants useful information related to public safety and road efficiency. The Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) standard is specifically tailored for delivering safety and multimedia messages in a highly dynamic vehicular communication environment. Such dynamic characteristics along with the delay-critical nature of safety services turn the medium access control protocol (MAC) timings very important. Therefore, it becomes of great interest to analyze a major performance metric, the end-to-end delay.
