Microwave Radio Coverage for Vehicle-to-Vehicle and In-Vehicle Communication 2001

Abstract:  this paper analyzes the microwave radio coverage of these systems applied to in-vehicle communication and then to vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In the first section, we describe simulation and experimental results of in-car radio coverage using the Bluetooth radio frequency (RF) channel. The simulation, as well as broadband experimental measurements explore different transmitter-receiver locations inside a car. In the second part, vehicle-to-vehicle communication is analyzed. The concept of the electronic preview mirror [Hedd 2000] is used to experiment a Bluetooth link in a vehicle-to-vehicle communication scenario. This scenario is compared to the one using an AICC extended sensor. Because of the broad scope of this paper, only significant results can be presented among all the available ones
