In this paper, we proposed an frequency offset estimation scheme which can be used for packet based OFDM communication systems such as IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11p physical layer. Proposed estimation scheme can adjust the gain allocation ratio between long training symbol and short training symbol while maintaining average power of overall training sequence so that we can obtain the reference parameters for MSE performance improvement. The preamble structure considered in this paper is based on the preamble specified in IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11p standardization group. From the simulation results, it is shown that power ratio between long training symbol and short training symbol must vanes for achieving lower frequency offset estimation error as channel SNR condition is changed. Also it is known oat proposed scheme can achieve better performance than conventional one.

Vehicular communication is one of main convergence technologies which combines information and communication technology (ICT) with vehicle and road industries. In general, vehicular communication adopts IEEE 802.11p standard which is commonly referred as wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE). In this paper, we investigate a multi-hop communication scheme for IEEE 802.11p based communication systems which support both vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. First, we briefly overview the performance of IEEE 802.11p based communication systems. Then, a multi-hop communication scheme is introduced for both broadcast and unicast. The performance of proposed scheme is presented via experimental measurements.

In this paper, we propose a modeling of the broadcasting in the IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol for the VANET(Vehicular Ad hoc Networks). Due to the fact that the beacon message which is needed for the safety services is shared via broadcasting, the analytical modeling of the broadcasting is crucial for the optimum design of the services. Two characteristics specific to the IEEE 802.11p are reflected in the modeling; the time limited CCH interval caused by the channel switching between the CCH and SCH, and no retransmission of the broadcasted messages. In the proposal, we assumed no restriction on the moment of generation of the beacon messages. We allow the messages to be generated and broadcasted within the whole CCH interval. Simulation results prove the accuracy of the proposed modeling. Noticeable improvements are also observed in terms of the performance indices such as the successful delivery ratio, transmission delay, and the variation of the delay.

As the interest in VANET is increased, a study on the beacon message transmission between vehicles is actively being made. IEEE 802.11p/1609.4 standard is based on a multichannel system consisting of multiple service channels (SCH) and a control channel (CCH). Multiple SCHs are defined for nonsafety data transfer, while the CCH is used to broadcast safety messages called beacons and control messages (i.e., service advertisement messages). However, most messages broadcast in the only one CCH belong to safety application that must be contested in dense vehicular network. This paper suggests safety message transfer algorithm in dense vehicular congestion. The proposed algorithm is that the priority of safety messages is decided by decision tree and messages are stored in proper queues according to their priorities. Then, safety messages with higher priorities are sent in turn by CCH in the assigned time. The proposed algorithm decreases the beacon transmission delay and increase on the probability of a successful beacon reception in an IEEE 802.11p/1609.4-based network.

Ns-2 is a proven simulator which is widely utilized to evaluate the performance of wired and wireless network. Ns-2.33 version introduced the extended version including the modules which the core functions of existing 802.11 PHY and MAC layer are implemented. However, if the error rate, one of most important parameters to evaluate a performance of wireless network, is applied to the extended version, the simulation is ceased with several fatal errors. Furthermore, a packet error is detected and discarded on MAC layer in the traditional protocol architecture, but there is the problem which can't identify information about a packet with error by processing packet error on PHY layer in this version. In this paper, we modify the extended version to resolve the above mentioned problems. And also we perform ns-2 simulation using the modified version on the IEEE 802.11p based vehicular ad-hoc networks, and then analyze effects of error rate.

The IEEE 802.11p-based wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) [1] communication is a method used exclusively for wireless communication on the road. This technique enables information sharing not only among moving vehicles but also between vehicles and infrastructure [2]. As part of WAVE communication, data is transmitted to and from vehicles in motion; in this case, it is difficult to determine the channel accurately in an outdoor environment owing to the Doppler shift [3]. This paper proposes a new channel estimation scheme for enhancing the reception performance of the IEEE 802.11p-based WAVE system. The proposed technique obtains the initial channel value by estimating the least square in the time domain by inserting a pilot signal for channel estimation into the IEEE 802.11p virtual subcarrier. Subsequently, a least mean square algorithm is applied to the initial channel value to update the estimated channel value. The simulation results obtained using the proposed channel estimation technique confirm its remarkable efficiency.

In this paper, we designed a diversity modem hardware architecture for IEEE802.11p WAVE and tested the modem on the road with car attached shark antenna. One of the dual channel modem and the diversity single modem with maximum ratio combining algorithm can be selected on the designed architecture. The designed modem have been implemented on the Xillinx Kintex7 FPGA. We tested the modem performance on the smart highway experience road. As experimental results, we can verify the performance of the diversity modem on real road and the enlarged communication range by more than 30%.

The roadside unit (RSU) collects vehicle information from vehicles in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). The vehicle density on the road within the communication range of a RSU is a time varying parameter. The higher the vehicle density, the more vehicle information can be collected. Therefore, the probability of packet collision will be raised. In this paper, an adaptive transmission scheme is proposed to improve the probability of packet reception rate by changing the data rate and transmission period according to the vehicle density. The performance of IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol that is a standard for vehicular communications is evaulated in terms of the vehicle density with the ns-2,33 simulator.

This paper has reviewed the performances of various AGCs which can be adopted in IEEE802.11p modems. IEEE802.11p, a high speed mobile communication standard for vehicles, requires high performance signal detector since the channel impulse responses are varied rapidly in time. In order to select the optimal signal detector, we simulated the performances of three detection methods. One is using RSSI signal, the other is using RSSI signal and I/Q signal, and the third is using I/Q signal through the Monte Carlo simulation. We evaluated the performances of the algorithms using our own system based on MAX 2829 transceiver(MAXIM $Integrated^{TM}$) in a real vehicular environment. As a result, the experiment using Fully I/Q signal derives the most excellent performance with the lowest minimum receiver sensitivity, packet error rate (PER) and false alarm rate (FAR).

In this paper, we propose an advanced Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) channel estimation method for IEEE 802.11p/Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) systems. To improve the performance of MMSE method, we apply the Weighted Sum using Update Matrix (WSUM) scheme to the step of calculating the instantaneously estimated channel and then, a time domain selectively averaging method is applied after the WSUM scheme. Based on that, the accuracy of instantaneously estimated channel increases and then, the accuracy of auto covariance matrix also increases. Consequently, we can achieve the performance gain over the conventional MMSE method. Through simulations based on the IEEE 802.11p standard, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme can outperform the existing channel estimation schemes.
