Demonstration of millimeter wave vehicle-to-vehicle communication services in highway environment

Abstract

A millimeter wave (mmWave) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system for relaying between vehicles has been designed, implemented, and validated. Performance of the mmWave V2V system can be represented in terms of data throughput and measured values between two vehicles were larger than 1.4 Gbps at distance of 200 m or closer. Availability of Wi-Fi services in a vehicle under highway environment has been demonstrated successfully. Passengers in the vehicle could experience the use case of tethering via vehicle where they connected smartphones to application servers via the mmWave V2V system to check streaming video contents and measure Wi-Fi speeds directly by using Apps.
