Abstract
The Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology supports the vehicular communications through Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Communication, by operating at 5.9 GHz band (U.S. Standard). The Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) Layer are defined by the IEEE 802.11p, while the IEEE 1609 family of standards define the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE); a suite of communication and security standards in the Vehicular Area Networks (VANETs). There has been a lot of research regarding several challenges in VANETs, from spectrum utilization to multichannel operation and from routing to security issues. The aim of all is to improve the performance of the network and support scalability in VANETs; which is defined as the ability of the network to handle the addition of vehicles (nodes) without suffering noticeable degradation of performance or administrative overhead. In this paper, we aim to highlight multilayer challenges concerning the performance of the VANETs, the already proposed solutions, and the possible future work.
Highlights
Roadside accidents have increased significantly due to high traffic on highways and urban areas.In order to provide a reliable driving experience and avoiding accidents, vehicular communication was introduced to provide safety and to increase the travel experience of the user by providing on demand infotainment services

Summary
In order to provide a reliable driving experience and avoiding accidents, vehicular communication was introduced to provide safety and to increase the travel experience of the user by providing on demand infotainment services. For this purpose, Wi-Fi based standard like DSRC was introduced in order to fulfill the requirements of the users for both safety and non-safety applications. While LTE based vehicular networks are being researched for the future in order to overcome the shortcomings of the DSRC. The Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology is being used for the safety and non-safety applications in vehicular communication.
