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.

This paper reports the results of a car-following measurement of the wireless propagation channel at 5.9 GHz on a seriously congested urban road in Wuhan, China. The small-scale amplitude-fading distribution was determined to be a Ricean distribution using the Akaike information criterion. This result shows that this car-following scenario can be regarded as a line-of-sight radio channel. Moreover, the statistical K-factor features follow a Gaussian distribution. According to the power delay profile and average power delay profile, we found that street buildings in this dense urban environment contributed to very strong reflection phenomena. The impact of a powerful reflection is analyzed through path loss, delay, and Doppler spreads in the channel statistical properties. In the frequency domain, we observe a U-shape delay-Doppler spectrum that proved that the dense urban scenario consists of scattering channels. All these results are summarized in tabular form that will be useful in the modeling of vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication systems.

Wireless sensors are envisioned to be useful for plant floor process monitoring with unprecedented flexibility and low costs, where data can be relayed via a wireless network formed among the sensors. Factory environments, however, are known harsh for radio communications. For sensor radios engineered with extremely low power and simple circuitry, the sensor radio channel characteristics must be identified for optimal network design and reliability assessment. In this paper, a preliminary radio channel measurement study was performed based on the wireless sensor pairs in normal communication at the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band to assess the sensor radio channel properties in a university machine workshop. The effect of both stationary and moving (forklift) obstacles on the radio propagation in terms of the received signal power, bit error and packet error rates was studied. The effect of stationary obstacles was further analyzed against a simple path loss model to find the path loss exponent. A spectrum analyzer was also used to capture the noise backgrounds in free space and the machine shop, which shows significantly different radio activities among the investigated scenarios. The proposed channel measurement methodology through directly utilizing the sensor platforms will help future radio channel characterization studies in manufacturing plant floor environments.
