Abstract :

In recent years, Inter-vehicle communication (IVC) has received great attention due to its many advantages such as public safety and reduction of accidents, traffic management, video and audio transmission between vehicles. Also, the 60 GHz frequency band with 7GHz bandwidth is good for video and audio transmission with HD quality and high data rate transmission (Gbps). But design of Communication systems need suitable channel model that is as simple and accurate as possible. In this paper, we propose vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel model in 60 GHz Band. This model is combination of ray-tracing and cluster-based scattering models and its structure based on tapped delay line. In addition to geometry and material of environment, proposed model can also model Doppler spectrum of both mobile and stationary scatterers.
