Abstract

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications have seen growing attention in the last few years. In this work, we address the use of the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard technology applied to V2V. We employ empirical models for the V2V channel, and show results from comprehensive computer simulations, based upon both the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) standards for LTE. We provide results for 10 MHz and 20 MHz channels, in terms of BER, BLER, spectral efficiency and throughput, using multiple MIMO modes. Results show the attractive feasibility of the LTE technology in V2V communication systems.
