Abstract:
The evolution of current transport technology towards smart, connected and autonomous vehicles requires a communication infrastructure which combines low-latency and high-reliability. Seamless connectivity from the driver’s perspective relies on the vehicle forming a transparent electromagnetic boundary by not contributing to jamming, interference or saturation of the wireless network outside the vehicle, and not obstructing or limiting data access for its user inside the vehicle particularly in dynamic driving scenarios. In early stages of vehicle development, simulation environments are very useful to understand the impact of a wide variety of Radio Frequency (RF) scenarios on a user’s perception of the Quality of Service related to a range of available connectivity applications. This paper presents the first step towards the development of a simulator based research facility designed to accommodate simultaneous emulation and characterisation of over-the-air and in-vehicle communication channels. The case study demonstrates a unique capability to emulate over-theair GPS satellite signals in real-time with the ability to control signal strength and satellite drop-out, integrated with the projected driving environment.
