An Experimental Vegetation Density-Based Propagation Modeling of V2V Channel: A Case Study in Turkey
摘要
In vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks, vegetation has a significant attenuation impact on radio signal propagation; however, existing research either lacks relevance to V2V environments or requires additional experimental and modeling studies to provide extensive insights into propagation patterns for different scenarios. This study focused on a comprehensive investigation of the varying impacts of vegetation density on V2V communication on flat or sloped roads. Therefore, experimental measurements were conducted in different vegetation densities and road types. Path-loss modeling showed that the log-normal model suits vegetation areas, while for no-vegetation areas, it fits flat roads, and the two-ray model is better for sloped roads. Then, the vegetation density-based empirical V2V attenuation model was developed for each of the flat and sloped roads, incorporating both distance and success rate parameters. The results reveal that the proposed model has been quite successful in determining the required fading depths to achieve the desired success rates, with an average R
