Model for Wireless Base Station Goodput Evaluation in Vehicular Communication Systems

摘要

Vehicular communication systems have increased in popularity and importance in recent years. In the 1970s researchers were fascinated by the idea of radio-equipped vehicles that mutually exchange traffic information to improve driving conditions. The Comprehensive Automobile Traffic Control System (CACS) project in Japan was initiated in 1973, and probably it was the first research project worldwide on this topic [1]. Vehicular communication systems are interesting in both academia and industry, driven by reduction of road traffic congestion, reduction of CO_2 emission, prevention of traffic accidents and enhancement of the public and social role of vehicles. Much research remains to be done to bring to the vision of future intelligent vehicular communications applications. Vehicular networks form a novel class of wireless networks are spontaneously formed between moving vehicles equipped with wireless interfaces of similar or different technologies.
