Performance evaluation of VANET docking guidance for AUV using DSRC

Abstract

The issue of docking for remote controlled Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for safety in avoiding a collision which causes damage consuming some researchers in determining the most appropriate way. In this paper, vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication for precise positioning and docking guidance systems for AUVs is considered. A Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET) communication systems using 802.11p standard protocol or called Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) is employed in this docking system. The results of this study in order to obtain a value of BER and PER performance in the V2I protocol implementation under LOS condition with Road Side Unit (RSU) antenna of 5 meters high, and On Board Unit (OBU) antenna of 1.5 meters high, we get the target BER cumulative allowable interference is 8.2 % of the received power, and PER is 7.2 % of the received power.
