CHANNEL MODELLING FOR VEHICLE TO VEHICLE COMMUNICATION

PRESENTED BY NITHIN J PATHALIL 08EC140

NEED FOR V2V COMMUNICATION

For making vehicle intelligent. For road safety. For making commuters aware of road conditions and weather conditions. Network sharing of files, music, videos like a wireless LAN and much more.

CONCEPT OF INTER VEHICLE COMMUNICATION

Concept of inter-vehicle communications

THE CONCEPT

Concept of inter-vehicle communications achieved by adaptive mobile ad-hoc networks. Cluster preferably consists of vehicles with the same intention. Participants within a cluster should able to communicate with each other. One of the participants serves as the master or router. Substantial reduction of the transmission of control data is achieved in the system.

DYNAMIC ROAD TRAFFIC MODELLING

Two snapshots of a traffic simulation

Dynamic Modelling
Able

to generate realistic time series of the simulation scenario. Takes into account the individual driving behaviour. Each single vehicle gets a statistically generated set of intrinsic parameters. The vehicle interacts with external influence factors.

MODELLING OF THE VEHICLE'S VICINITY

Includes

the moving vehicles, the lane and the

environment adjacent to the lane.

Stochastic

modelling of the environment consist

of the subsections Modelling of the Road Lane.

Modelling of the Road Surrounding.

MODELLING OF THE WAVE PROPAGATION

Ray-optical

methods are used for the wave propagation modelling. Main problem with ray optics determination of the different propagation paths. For the initial calculations only single and multiple reflections are taken into account.

Ray Optic Modelling

Reflection paths up to the fourth order

PROPERTIES OF V2V CHANNEL BEING MODELLED

It should have a frequency range around 5.9 GHz (Bandwidth of 5 to 10 MHz). Effects of multipath scattering and fading have to be taken into consideration. As the wavelength is lower compared to most communications, the problem of Doppler Shift will have to be considered.

STAGES INVOLVED IN MODELLING

Modelling of Non Stationary CIR, i.e. Channel Impulse Response

This is achieved through Tapped Delay Line

Filter Modelling

Channel Impulse Response V/s Time

Non Stationary CIR

The channel is modelled as a time varying linear filter of impulse response given by

e(a complex function)

z(t) a persistence process used to account for the finite lifetime of the propagation paths.

TAPPED DELAY LINE MODEL FOR A WIRELESS CHANNEL

CONCLUSION
A new IVC channel model is presented

which is based on wave propagation modelling in realistic traffic scenarios. Also the mathematical model of the channel starting from a time varying linear filter all the way to the tap design using Maximum likelihood modelling is presented.
