  • Abstract
    This paper presents a method for the utilization of radio channels with two-ray propagation properties between vehicles in vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The method uses spatial diversity with antennas separated in the vertical direction to counteract low received levels in regions of destructive interference according to a two-ray path loss model. Results are exemplified with measurements and further analysed with simulations.
