Impact Analysis of Interference Sources on Data Communication System for CBTC Application
Shao Yin Wang, Yi Yu, Guo Xin Zheng, Qing Ding · Advanced engineering forum · 2012
We study the anti-interference performance of the 802.11 system when it works as Data Communication System (DCS) in Communication Based Train Control (CBTC). We first conduct extensive experiments on a 802.11b network to assess the ability on a lab test bed, then the outdoor experiments are also conducted. In the presence of jammer, we find that in each case of interference model, there exists a C/I threshold which determine the DCS-Access Point (DCS-AP) and DCS-Station Adapter (DCS-STA) communication performance. In the outdoor environment, different interference sources are adopted to investigate the data throughput value and other parameters of the DCS system under the critical state.
