Influence of propagation channel modeling on V2X physical layer performance

The computer performance evaluation of the Vehicle to Vehicle and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2X) communication system is an important preliminary step before its integration into vehicles and thus a possible large-scale deployment. As for most wireless systems, the propagation channel modeling plays an essential role for a proper evaluation. In this paper, we present simulation results of the V2X receiver while employing some of the channel models available in the literature. After a brief comparison, we will highlight the different propagation channel parameters that influence the most the performance of the system´s physical layer.
