Abstract
A method for multi-channel operation in a vehicular network, the vehicular network including a plurality of communicating entities being designated as either a service provider or as a service user, a control channel for exchanging management frames among the communicating entities, and at least two different service channels for application-specific information exchange among the communicating entities, includes performing, by the communication entities, channel load estimation through a combination of physical channel measurements and an analysis of the transmitted service announcement messages (SAM) generated by service providers; and performing, by the communication entities based on the results of the channel load estimation together with existing services on the service channels and user and/or application preference configurations, dynamic service channel switching to either provide or consume a service.
