Channel modeling for V2V communications (Invited paper)

In this paper we describe results of a channel measurement campaign for modeling the V2V channel. After review of applications, potential frequency bands, and related work, we describe the measurements and results for delay spreads and multipath component fading amplitudes and correlations, made in multiple V2V environments. We also note how the V2V channel can differ appreciably from other common terrestrial (e.g., cellular) channels. We describe considerations used in developing the statistical channel models for these environments, and provide some example measurement and modeling results that should be useful for system designers in future V2V applications.
