Performance analysis of vehicle-to-vehicle tunnel measurements at 5.9 GHz

In this contribution, we discuss and analyze results from real-world performance measurements for IEEE 802.11p along motorway A22 near Vienna, Austria. More specifically, we evaluate the frame success ratio and goodput of the IEEE 802.11p physical layer for a vehicle-to-vehicle scenario in a tunnel. We report and discuss the observed frame success ratios and goodputs for radio channels between the transmit and the receive antenna with and without a line-of-sight component, and investigate the impact of the propagation environment and the traffic situation inside the tunnel.
