Abstract

This paper presents a detailed measurement study of short range communications between vehicles and between vehicles and roadside stations in a realistic highway scenario. We show the expected wireless communication characteristics in a driving environment and identify factors that significantly affect communication performance. We also illustrate the benefits of multi-hop communication in improving communication performance.
