The project evaluates medium access control (MAC) protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) to enhance reliability and reduce delays in delivering safety-related messages while meeting quality of service (QoS) for non-safety messages. It discusses the architecture of VANETs, the IEEE WAVE MAC protocol, and simulations conducted to compare multi-channel and single-channel performance under varying traffic densities and message types. The results indicate that single-channel performance is generally superior in low-density scenarios, while both protocols have different efficiencies under high-density conditions.
