Abstract

The next generation wireless communication for Telematics/ITS (Intelligent Traffic Service), supporting the 'vehicle to vehicle (v2v)' and the 'vehicle to infrastructure (v2i)' communication. Since major Telematics/ITS services related to driver's safety, it is essential that the wireless communication guarantees its reliability. However, the performance of the existing IEEE 802.11 WLAN has not been verified in vehicular environments. Especially, Ad-hoc mode for the v2v communication has not even been considered as a mandatory function so far. Therefore, it is required to analyze its performance in vehicular environments and figure out the problems for the future modifications. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the IEEE 802.11 Ad-hoc network for v2v communication under a vehicular environment, focusing on the fairness which very crucial to the safety related services, and the effect of mobility. Some suggestions for future researches are followed.
