5.9GHz IEEE 802.11p Inter-Vehicle Communication:
Non-Line-Of-Sight Reception under Competition


This site complements the same named paper.
It has been published at VNC 2011 conference in Amsterdam

The complete evaluation. All reception-rate plots and load metrics over time plots. Videos showing vehicle movement and reception in the dynamic scenarios. Investigation about the origin of signals interfering with an ongoing reception. Download the scenario configuration files (SUMO/ns2).




Demo Video - NLOS Reception Rate

A short demo video visualizing the NLOS reception rate for a vehicle passing an intersection. It shows the influence of inter-building distance in the VirtualSource11p 5.9GHz NLOS propagation model: the increased street width in the upper street leads to better NLOS recepetion performance. Produced from simulation in ns-2 with same propagation modeling as described in paper.


This research was executed by Thomas Mangel at BMW Group Research and Technology, in 2011. Thanks for hosting goes to the Decentralized Systems and Network Services Research Group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
