Abstract

Vehicular communications essentially support automotive applications for safety and infotainment. For this reason, industry leaders envision an enhanced role for vehicular communications in the fifth generation of mobile communications technology. Over the years, the number of vehicle- mounted sensors has increased steadily, which potentially leads to more volume of critical data communications in a short time. Also, emerging applications such as remote/autonomous driving and infotainment such as high-definition movie streaming require data-rates on the order of multiple Gb/s. Such high data rates require a large system bandwidth, but very limited bandwidth is available in the sub-6 GHz cellular bands. This has sparked research interest in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band (10 GHz-300 GHz), where a large bandwidth is available to support the high data rate and low latency communications envisioned for emerging vehicular applications. However, leveraging mmWave communications requires a thorough understanding of the relevant vehicular propagation channels, which are significantly different from those investigated below 6 GHz. Despite their significance, very few investigations of mmWave vehicular channels are reported in the literature. This work highlights the key attributes of mmWave vehicular communication channels and surveys the recent literature on channel characterization efforts in order to provide a gap analysis and propose possible directions for future research.

  • Massive MIMO systems and millimeter-wave spectrum are believed to have an important role in addressing the capacity demands of future communication networks.

    “Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (M-MIMO) systems and millimeter-Wave (mmWave) spectrum exploiting high spatial resolution and multi-gigahertz bandwidth, respectively, are believed to have an important role in addressing the capacity demands of future communication networks [12,22].”

    From Quantum Machine Learning for 6G Communication Networks: State-of-the-Art and Vision for the Future (2019) · cites this paper as [22]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says mmWave offers the large bandwidth needed for high-data-rate vehicular communications, supporting that part of the claim. The paper discusses MIMO channel modeling and large antenna arrays, but the passages found do not say that massive MIMO's spatial resolution helps meet future network capacity demands.

  • In vehicular communication context, the carrier frequency being a linear scaling factor causes very high Doppler shift/spread even in very low mobility conditions.

    “Moreover, in vehicular communication context, the carrier frequency being a linear scaling factor causes very high Doppler shift/spread even in very low mobility conditions (e.g., even vehicle engine vibrations can cause high Doppler shift [22]).”

    From Quantum Machine Learning for 6G Communication Networks: State-of-the-Art and Vision for the Future (2019) · cites this paper as [22]

    The “C. Intra-vehicle channels” section says that vibrations, including engine vibrations, can cause severe Doppler spread at a typical 5 mm wavelength even when communicating nodes are relatively stationary. It does not state that carrier frequency is a linear scaling factor for Doppler shift or spread, so that causal detail is not established by our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
