Infrastructure-Assisted Communication for CAR-to-X Communication

Vehicular communication is considered an important technology in Intelligent Transport Systems because it allows vehicles to exchange information with each other to improve road safety, traffic efficiency, and travel comfort. Several research projects have investigated the feasibility of vehicular communication using a centralized or distributed approach. The distributed approach employs short- range wireless communication such as IEEE 802.11p, positioning technology (GPS) and position-based ad hoc routing. The centralized approach relies on the wireless access network infrastructure of mobile network operators. This paper presents a survey for both approaches and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches.
