Please join us for the following talk on Friday, January 26 at 11:15am in ITE 336.
Title: Vehicle-to-Vehicle Networking from a Physical Layer Perspective
Speaker:
Dr. Lin Cheng, Karl W. Hallden Professor and Chair, Department of Engineering, Trinity College, Hartford, CT
Abstract:
Future vehicles are likely to rely on the Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Ad Hoc Network concept to increase safety and comfort on road. Wireless communication acts as a new "sensor" which allows the drivers to look further away in space and further ahead in time. The growth in potential applications imposes a pressing need for physical layer studies to preserve reliable operation in dynamic on-road environments. This seminar will discuss V2V communications under general on-road driving conditions across different environments. Aiming at investigating how readily the scaled versions of the IEEE 802.11a waveform can be applied to vehicular networks, the behavior of the V2V channel will be investigated from multiple dimensions. I will also discuss related programs from this research on robotics, smart cities, and computer engineering in general at Trinity College.
