Abstract:
Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANET) are a new emergent technology based on wireless ad hoc networks. They are characterized by their high speed nodes, which affect on network topology. This can affect network services, especially those having big packet size and need high bandwidth, such as Multimedia services. Many solutions have been proposed in the literature in order to serve a better multimedia communication over VANET. In this paper, we will focus on cross-layer solutions because of their high performance in term of Quality of Service (QoS). We present a survey of existing cross-layer solutions, which try to enhance multimedia services over VANETs. Works will be classified depending on the nature of information exchanged and their belonging to OSI Layers.
