Abstract
Conference Title: 2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) Conference Start Date: 2018, Dec. 5 Conference End Date: 2018, Dec. 7 Conference Location: Taipei, Taiwan The 5G vision acknowledges intravehicular communication as a means to enable passenger connectivity on the move. The capacity demand in a public transport vehicle is multi-fold compared to personal cars as there are more people on-board. In order to meet the demand, 5G standardization bodies prescribe moving the spectrum up to the millimetre wave (mmWave) regime. In this paper, we focus on buses as they are the most pervasive form of public transportation, and provide a wideband wireless channel model for 60GHz mmWave propagation inside bus. The model characterizes power delay profile (PDP) of the wireless intravehicular channel and is derived from about a thousand measured datasets within a bus. The proposed analytical model is further translated to a simple simulation algorithm which generates in-vehicle channel PDPs. The simulated PDPs are in good agreement with the measured data.
