A Ray-Optical Channel Model for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 97))

Summary

A comprehensive new model of the transmission channel between moving vehicles is presented in this paper. The approach consists of tree major parts: the modelling of the road traffic, the modelling of the environment adjacent to the road and the actual modelling of the wave propagation between the vehicles. A ray-optical approach is used for the wave propagation, which allows for wide-band as well as narrow-band analyses of the channel. Characteristic time series of impulse responses of the inter-vehicle transmission channel can therefore be calculated for system simulations. Simulation results are compared to wide-band channel measurements at 5.2 GHz, yielding a good agreement.
