Nov 2015 doc.: IEEE 19-15/0084r0 Intra-Vehicle Wireless Channel Discussion The RX power of an intra-vehicle WLAN system is strong relative to indoor scenarios, that is the system is not Rx power limited The variance of the path loss shadowing in the 5GHz band is higher in large vehicles than the 2.4GHz band variance Intra-vehicle delay spread in nomadic confined area scenarios is shorter than current WLAN indoor channel models, hence supported by current standards Submission Slide 22 Igal Kotzer, General Motors
Nov 2015 doc.: IEEE 19-15/0084r0 Intra-Vehicle Wireless Channel Discussion (2) The intra-vehicle channel delay spread is very short, thus it is possible to shorten the CP and gain efficiency It is theoretically possible to achieve full 2x2 MIMO, however due to large changes in the streams power it is hard to implement practically. Addressing this issue, especially in a non Rx power limited environment can increase performance. Submission Slide 23 Igal Kotzer, General Motors
