DSRC Measurement and MAC Protocols

Participants: Feng Lyu, Hongzi Zhu

IEEE 802.11p based Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) has been considered as a promising wireless technology for enhancing transportation safety and traffic efficiency. However, with limited literature available, there is lack of understanding about how IEEE 802.11p performs for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications in urban environments. In this project, we will fist conduct intensive statistical analysis on V2V communication performance, based on a large volume of real-world measurement trace collected in Shanghai city. Based on the found insights, trace-driven approaches would be proposed to enhance DSRC performance for safety applications.

Efficient and scalable media access control (MAC) protocol is crucial to guarantee the reliable broadcast of safety messages in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). However, with limited spectrum resource, harsh wireless channel and variable vehicle density, MAC design will face severe challenges to achieve scalability, efficiency and minimum delay. In this project, we would devise MAC protocols to well support broadcast under dynamic VANETs.

We have collected large-volume 802.11p-based V2V communication traces by commodity DSRC radios under three different urban scenarios. In addition, we have labeled LoS and NLoS conditions by watching the recorded videos.
