Abstract
Vehicle-to-vehicle transmissions have emerged as a key component of future communication standards, whose design and testing critically depends upon the understanding of propagation mechanisms. An important and specific aspect of vehicular communication channels lies in the fact that these are essentially non-stationary. Hence, this communication addresses two recent contributions in the field of non-stationary vehicular propagation, based on extensive measurements conducted at 5.3 GHz in suburban, urban, and underground parking areas. First, the estimation of quasi-stationarity regions is addressed by means of various metrics. It is found that the size of quasi-stationarity regions ranges from 3 to 80 m and is strongly affected by bandwidth and array configurations. A second contribution consists in proposing a dynamic wideband directional channel model. This model incorporates both angular and delay domain properties as well as the dynamic evolution of multipath components, relying on a birth-survival-death process between successive stationarity regions.
