This paper explores recent improvements in 802.11p multi-channel protocol in vehicular ad-hoc networks. We provide definitions for a vehicular network and explore the operation of 802.11 within a vehicular network. We also study on areas of improvements of this protocol and briefly discuss on advantages and disadvantages of each solution.Various solutions that various researchers have done to improve the 802.11p multi-channel protocol as it applies to vehicular networks are explored in this paper.
