Abstract

Abstract

With the iterative update of mobile communication technology, Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) and Flying Ad-hoc NETworks (FANETs) have become significant parts of the communication network, and the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is one of the core research contents of the future development of Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). Security control and user service are the two principal types of message in Ad-hoc networks, where their different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements bring severe challenges to the design of MAC mechanism. In this paper, VANETs and FANETs are mainly taken into consideration. According to their network characteristics and different optimization objectives, the MAC protocols used in them are analyze and summarized, while the future research directions are discussed and prospected.
- Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol,
