In this article we first develop a novel analytical model which combines the vehicular traffic theory and WiFi properties to show the impact of performance anomaly at the intersection. We then propose a signal-to-noise ratio SNR -based admission control scheme that excludes vehicles with bad channel qualities to address the performance anomaly problem. Extensive simulation and analytical results are presented to show the effect of the traffic condition and the topology. From the simulation results it can be found that the SNR-based admission control scheme can improve the overall throughput and starvation issues can be addressed by means of mobility in WiFi-based vehicular networks with multiple intersections.

Introduction Recently significant progress has been made in vehicular networks to support mobile users. Vehicular communications can be classified into vehicle-to-infrastructure V2I and vehicle-to-vehicle V2V communications. In terms of communication technology wireless local area network WLAN or WiFi 1 wireless wide area network WWAN 2 or their combination 3 can be used in vehicular environments. Even though the performance of WWAN has been improved over the past years its data rate is still limited compared with WLAN. Also WWAN typically adopts a meter-rate-dependent monetary cost policy which is a burden to
