Impacts Of Channel Loss And Electromagnetic Interference On Intra-Vehicle Wireless Communications

摘要

To address challenges on enabling reliable wireless communications inside vehicles, we initialize an investigation on the impact of intra-vehicle channel behavior and potential Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) that could hamper the performance required for wireless transmission in this environment. The investigation carried out over a vehicle testbed produces real-world data showing the loss performance and EMI across different compartments of the vehicle. The results reveal how the fading related loss, together with EMI at both peak and average levels contribute to the impairment of the intra-vehicle wireless channel.
