Experimental study of 802.11 based networking for vehicular management and safety
D.J. Dailey, K. McFarland, Jake Garrison · 2010
This paper focuses on the experimental aspect of short range communication between a moving vehicle and a stationary receiver. The accumulated measurements of signal to noise ratio fit a single line of site model rather well with the implication that the communications channel will function best as the distance between the radios is reduced. However, measurements of both bandwidth and packet loss suggest that when the vehicle passes nearby the stationary receiver at approximately the planned speeds (10 or 20 MPH) that the communication channel throughput is reduced.
