Lin Cheng, Benjamin E. Henty, Fan Bai, and Daniel D. Stancil. Doppler Spread and Coherence Time of Rural and Highway Vehicle-to-Vehicle Channels at 5.9 GHz. In Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM), pp. 1–6, November 2008.
An experimental study of the Doppler coherence time properties of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) wireless channels at 5.9 GHz in both rural and highway environments is presented. Simultaneous RF and mobility measurements were conducted in environments near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The average Doppler spread was observed to depend linearly on effective speed, defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of the ground speeds of the two vehicles. Sample spectrum is analyzed and comparisons with the double-ring models are presented. The coherence time was observed to vary inversely with effective speed, as expected. In addition, the coherence time was observed to decrease with vehicle separation out to about 100 m, followed by a relative peak at about 200 m. A possible interpretation of this peak in terms of a two-ray propagation model is presented. The observed Doppler spread should not be a problem for proposed V2V OFDM signal transmission formats, but the channel coherence time is much shorter than a typical packet suggesting that present equalization schemes may not be adequate.
