Measurement based V2V path loss analysis in urban NLOS scenarios

The importance of an accurate path loss model of vehicular environments is critical for the vehicular communication system design. However, estimating the path loss in vehicular environments is difficult due to high dynamics and low antenna heights. In this paper, we propose a line-of-sight (LOS) path loss model in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) scenarios and provide deep analysis of shadow fading in urban non-LOS (NLOS) scenarios by the deductive method with the proposed LOS model. The results can be utilized as reference material for further analysis of V2V path loss measurements.
