Analysis of Non-Stationarity for 5.9 GHz Channel in Multiple Vehicle-to-Vehicle Scenarios

Abstract

The vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) radio channel is non-stationary due to the rapid movement of vehicles. However, the stationarity of the V2V channels is an important indicator of the V2V channel characteristics. Therefore, we analyzed the non-stationarity of V2V radio channels using the local region of stationarity (LRS). We selected seven scenarios, including three directions of travel, i.e., in the same, vertical, and opposite directions, and different speeds and environments in a similar driving direction. The power delay profile (PDP) and LRS were estimated from the measured channel impulse responses. The results show that the most important influences on the stationary times are the direction and the speed of the vehicles. The average stationary times for driving in the same direction range from 0.3207 to 1.9419 s, the average stationary times for driving in the vertical direction are 0.0359–0.1348 s, and those for driving in the opposite direction are 0.0041–0.0103 s. These results are meaningful for the analysis of the statistical characteristics of the V2V channel, such as the delay spread and Doppler spread. Small-scale fading based on the stationary times affects the quality of signals transmitted in the V2V channel, including the information transmission rate and the information error code rate.

Throughput Prediction of 5G Network Based on Trace Similarity for Adaptive Video

“…We divided our experiment into several stages, which are outlined as follows: (1) data acquisition from a 5G system; (2) data preprocessing; (3) feature extraction; (4) the grouping of similar features in throughput traces into clusters; (5) training a separate LSTM model for every clustered trace; and (6) the prediction of the next throughput value, including data postprocessing to ascertain the final forecasts. Figure 1 illustrates the workflow of our data processing and forecasting.…”

“…The radio environment is dynamic, and even small changes in distance can significantly alter its properties [5]. Because of this, the throughput of wireless networks can fluctuate rapidly due to various random factors, including environmental conditions.…”

Analysis of spatial scheduling in downlink vehicular communications: Sub-6 GHz vs mmWave

“…It is optimal for stationary channels and, in addition, it is able to consider and exploit the users' channel diversity. However, V2X communications are characterized by non-stationary channels [39,40,41], and the temporal duration of a connection with a gNB can be very short (few seconds) [42]. For this reasons, PF easily loses its ef icacy.…”

An Enhanced Approach to Virtually Increase Quasi-Stationarity Regions Within Geometric Channel Models for Vehicular Communications

“…In this regard, some methods as to how to assess the degree of non-stationarity have been put forward, where most of them revolve around correlation metrics and spectral divergences typically applied to the power-delay-profile (PDP), shadow fading, local scattering function (LSF), or some other time/location evolutionary channel characteristic. Some of these methods are well tailored to multiple-input-multipleoutput (MIMO) systems like the correlation matrix distance (CMD) found in [6]- [8] , and for single-input-single-output (SISO) systems, power correlation methods are a frequent choice [9]- [11]. Another utility for the QSRs comes in the form of deterministic simulation sampling for non-stationary conditions.…”
