Análisis y estimación de canal para comunicaciones vehiculares con el estándar 802.11P mediante simulación en Matlab

Abstract

This project presents the analysis and simulation of the standard for communications in vehicular environments IEEE 802.11p defined in the communication system WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments). In this project, time-varying channels, defined for the standard, are considered and the LS (Least Square) algorithm is implemented as estimation channel technique. Due to the importance in practical implementations, an HPA block is implemented in the simulation. The results of the simulation are shown in PER (Packet Error Rate) vs. SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) graphs. Chapter 1 presents the theoretical support of the project. It includes the specifications of the 802.11p standard, the effects of time-varying channels in the communication systems and the LS technique. Chapter 2 presents the description of the MATLAB-scripts required to simulate the 802.11p standard, the time-varying channels, the channel estimation and the HPA. Chapter 3 shows the simulation results, for the different techniques and different simulation scenarios, through different graphs and analysis. Finally, chapter 4 presents the conclusions and recommendations of from this work.
