Path Loss Characterization for Vehicular Communications at 700 MHz and 5.9 GHz Under LOS and NLOS Conditions

In this letter, we present a path loss characterization of the vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) propagation channel. We have assumed a path loss model suitable for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) simulators. We have investigated the value of the model parameters, categorizing in line-of-sight (LOS) a...

Description
Summary:In this letter, we present a path loss characterization of the vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) propagation channel. We have assumed a path loss model suitable for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) simulators. We have investigated the value of the model parameters, categorizing in line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) paths. The model parameters have been derived from extensive narrowband channel measurements at 700 MHz and 5.9 GHz. The measurements have been collected in typical expected V2V communications scenarios, i.e., urban, suburban, rural, and highway, for different road traffic densities, speeds, and driven conditions. The results reported here can be used to simulate and design the future vehicular networks.
