Abstract

Vehicular networks play an important role in both promoting the development of next generation intelligent transportation systems and offering mobile data services to vehicle users. The capacity scaling laws of vehicular networks characterize the trend of network capacity when vehicle population grows in the network, which represent the fundamental property of vehicular networks and could be applied to predict the network performance and thereby provide valuable guidance on network design and deployment. Despite extensive research in the field of vehicular networking, the network capacity is not well understood. In this chapter, we first overview the vehicular network, and then briefly introduce the research of capacity scaling laws for general wireless networks. Finally, we present the existing works in the capacity study of vehicular networks.

To deemphasize the ad hoc nature of vehicular networks, we redefine the term VANETs, which is traditionally the acronym of vehicular ad hoc networks.
