Directional Analysis of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Propagation in Different Traffic Environments

• This paper presents a double directional analysis of vehicle-to-vehicle channel measurements conducted in two different traffic environments. Using a high-resolution algorithm, we derive channel parameters like angle-of- arrival, angle-of-departure, propagation delay and Doppler’s spread and identify underlying propagation mechanisms by combining these estimates with maps of the measurement sites. The results show that single-bounce interaction with static objects is the dominating effect in the absence of line-of-sight, and that the contribution from other vehicles is small. We also find that in the absence of line-of-sight the direction spread at both sides of link is large which indicates possible diversity gain using multi-antenna arrangements.
