Abstract
Shadowing from vehicles can degrade the performance

of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems significantly.

It is thus important to characterize and model the

influence of common shadowing objects like cars properly. For

multilink systems it is essential to model the joint effects on the

different links. However, the multilink shadowing effects in V2V

channels are not yet well understood. In this paper we present

a measurement based analysis of multilink shadowing effects in

V2V communication systems with cars as blocking objects. In

particular we analyze and characterize the joint large scale fading

process for multilink communication at 5.9... (More)
Shadowing from vehicles can degrade the performance

of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems significantly.

It is thus important to characterize and model the

influence of common shadowing objects like cars properly. For

multilink systems it is essential to model the joint effects on the

different links. However, the multilink shadowing effects in V2V

channels are not yet well understood. In this paper we present

a measurement based analysis of multilink shadowing effects in

V2V communication systems with cars as blocking objects. In

particular we analyze and characterize the joint large scale fading

process for multilink communication at 5.9 GHz between four

cars in a highway scenario. From our analysis it is found that

the coherence time of the large scale fading process for different

links can vary from a few seconds to minutes. The results show

that it is essential to consider the correlation of the large scale

fading processes as the correlation coefficients can have both large

negative and large positive values. There is also a clear indication

that multihop techniques provide an efficient way to overcome

the issue with shadowed cars in V2V systems. (Less)
