9.1 Introduction

The term “vehicular communication” was first coined in 1999 by Klaus Eitzenberger to attain safety, traffic control, dynamic navigation aids, and the mobile office. This invention was related to the centralized approach where computers were performing network applications, transmission, reception, recording, or processing data between vehicles, according to Sun et al. [1]. Later on, the concept of distributed message communication came into existence. According to Briesemeister and Hommel [2], radio communications effectively enable the distributed message dissemination strategy in vehicles. However, Xu et al. [3] studied the feasibility for vehicle safety messages in dedicated short range communication (DSRC) and analyzed the memory‐less channel modeling. IEEE 802.11p with DSRC followed a WAVE architecture for communication between roadside unit (RSU) and on‐board unit (OBU). The WAVE (wireless access in vehicle environment) architecture uses 27 Mbps of data rate with a 5.9 GHz frequency range. The IEEE 802.11p standard plays a vital role in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs).

Considering the safety applications, ...
