contents The data collected by autonomous vehicle (AV) sensors such as LiDAR and cameras is crucial for creating high-definition (HD) maps to provide higher accuracy and enable a higher level of automation. Nevertheless, offloading this large volume of raw data to edge servers leads to increased latency due to network congestion in highly dense environments such as Vehicular Adhoc networks (VANET). To address this challenge, researchers have focused on the dynamic allocation of minimum contention window (CWmin) value. While this approach could be sufficient for fairness, it might not be adequate for prioritizing different services, as it also involves other parameters such as maximum contention window (CWmax) and infer-frame space number (IFSn). In response to this, we extend the scope of previous solutions to include the control of not only CWmin but also the adjustment of two other parameters in the standard IEEE802.11: CWmax and IFSn, alongside waiting transmission time. To achieve this, we introduced a methodology involving a cross-layer solution between the application and MAC layers. Additionally, we utilised multi-agent techniques, emphasising a hierarchical structure and independent learning (IL) to improve latency to efficiently handle map updates while interacting with multiple services. This approach demonstrated an improvement in latency against the standard IEEE802.11p EDCA by $31\%$, $49\%$, $87.3\%$, and $64\%$ for Voice, Video, HD Map, and Best-effort, respectively.
