Validation of a Non-Line-of-Sight Path-Loss Model for V2V Communications at Street Intersections

• In this paper a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) path-loss and fading model developed for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication at 5:9 GHz is validated with independent and realistic measurement data. The reference NLOS model is claimed to be flexible and of low complexity, and incorporates specific geometric aspects in a closed-form expression.We validated the accuracy of the model with the help of realistic channel measurements performed in selected street intersections in the city of Lund and Malm¨o, Sweden. The model fits well, with a few exceptions, to most of the measurements taken at different intersections which have variable geometry and scattering environment. It is found that the model can be made more general if an intersection dependent parameter, that depends on the property and number of available scatterers in that particular intersection, is included in the model.
