Propagation models for simulation scenario of ITS V2V communications

Unified computer simulation scenario of ITS vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication has been proposed. In the scenario, several aspects of V2V communications, such as physical layer systems, communication protocols, road traffic models, environment models and so on are defined. In this paper we present propagation models adopted in the scenario. We first introduce a propagation loss estimation model that has been adopted as the basic model and also present two specific models. We show the calculated results by using the ray tracing method for the two models.
