Abstract

In order to enhance and meet the demands of vehicular communication several authors have proposed the possibility of convergence between two different technologies. In context to this, authors of this paper proposed a novel combined hybrid infrastructure for efficient vehicular communication. The novelty of this approach is the vehicular standard, i.e. dedicated short range communication (DSRC) can be converged with the existing wireless mobile communication network, i.e. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) technology. Authors critically explored the two different systems in terms of their physical layer, frame structure and packet format. As these technologies are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers therefore we do not intend to change the standards, instead we are attempting to change only a few possible parameters which can be configured to create a bridge between the physical layers of the mentioned technologies. By using this bridge we are able to establish the image transmission between WiMAX and DSRC system. The MATLAB simulation result shows that the hybrid system can be implemented to establish communication in vehicular network.
