Abstract:

In this paper, we describe the results of a channel measurement and modeling campaign for the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel in the 5-GHz band. We describe measurements and results for delay spread, amplitude statistics, and correlations for multiple V2V environments. We also discuss considerations used in developing statistical channel models for these environments and provide some sample results. Several statistical channel models are presented, and using simulation results, we elucidate tradeoffs between model implementation complexity and fidelity. The channel models presented should be useful for system designers in future V2V communication systems.

I. Introduction

The USE OF vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication will be an integral part of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) [1], and work on various aspects of ITSs [2] has substantially been growing. Some obvious benefits of V2V communications are its ability to improve road safety; making commuters aware of current traffic [4], weather [3], and road conditions; easing “bottlenecks” at toll booths, thus saving time and money for commuters and government; and turning long journeys into times for family activities by enabling the flow of multimedia between different traveling cars. The list of possible applications [5] is long. The scope of V2V communications is not limited to a fixed number of a priori specified vehicles and can hence be extrapolated to numerous vehicles via the concept of vehicular mobile ad hoc networks. Vehicular ad hoc networks are important since they remove the dependence on cellular networks for communication between vehicles. Public safety applications may also employ V2V communications [6].

From 1983 to 1985, he was with the Rural Electrification Administration, Washington, DC, where he worked on upgrading specialized rural telecommunication systems. From 1985 to 1986, he was with the UMass LAMMDA Laboratory, where he worked on the full-wave analysis, design, fabrication, and testing of planar microwave transmission lines and antennas. From 1986 to 1989, he was with the Microwave Radio Systems Development Department, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, where he worked on the analytical and empirical characterization of nonlinearities and their effect on quadrature amplitude modulation transmission. In 1990, he joined the Communication Systems Laboratory, University of Virginia, where he focused on the analysis of trellis coding and equalization for time division multiple access mobile radio systems. From 1994 to 1996, he was with Lockheed Martin Tactical Communication Systems, where he was the Lead System Engineer on the development of a wireless local loop synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system. From 1996 to 1998, he was with the MITRE Corporation, where he worked on the analysis and modeling of various digital radio communication systems. From 1998 to 1999, he was with Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications, where he worked on mobile satellite communication system analysis and design. In September 1999, he joined the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Ohio University, Athens. His research interests are communication over fading channels, radio channel modeling, multicarrier transmission, and CDMA.
Prof. Matolak is a member of Eta Kappa Nu and Sigma Xi. He has served on several IEEE conference technical program committees and was also the Chair of the Geo Mobile Radio Standards Group in the Telecommunications Industries Association's Satellite Communications Division.
