Simulation modelling and analysis of a realistic radio channel model for V2V communications

摘要

Realistic radio channel models are crucial for the success of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) system investigations. In this paper, we describe the important parameters for V2V channel modelling and summarize relevant measurement campaigns. Also, we develop and evaluate an ns-3 simulation model of a realistic V2V channel model that is based on measurements in Sweden. The channel model incorporates the effects of obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver. We show that the resulting path loss is very different compared with available models.
