Performance Analysis of a MAC Protocol Consisting of EDCA on the CCH and a Reservation on the SCHs for the IEEE 802.11p/1609.4 WAVE.

We propose an analytical model for the medium access control (MAC) protocol that consists of an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) on the control channel (CCH) and a reservation method on the service channels (SCHs) for the IEEE 802.11p/1609.4 wireless access in vehicular environments of intelligent transportation systems. Specifically, a safety packet of a high priority and a request for ...
