Vehicle-to-Vehicle Radio Channel Characteristics for a Long-Distance Urban Congestion Scenario at 5.9 GHz

A V2V radio channel measurement campaign with a maximum distance of 10 km was carried out during the congestion period in Wuhan city, China. In this paper, a short campaign description with the relevant measurement parameters is given. The received signal level is obtained from the measurement data and large variation is found. The mean excess delay and the RMS delay spread extracted from the averaged power-delay profiles, are found to be within 2 micro s and 1.5 micro s, respectively. The best-fit small-scale amplitude distribution is found to be Rayleigh distribution with the occurrence rate of 55.9%, while the TWDP and Rician distribution are estimated as the main best-fit distributions when the TX-RX distances are within 300m.
