Channel Access Modelling for EV Charging/Discharging Service through Vehicular ad hoc Networks (VANETs) Communications

In this chapter, the scheduling problem for electric vehicles (EVs) charging/discharging in electric vehicle supply equipment is introduced. We discuss the technical environment of the charging/discharging problem. We introduce a survey of communication technologies used for the smart grid. By the end we present a specific case study of the channel access modelling for the EV charging service based on IEEE802.11p/DSRC protocol
