An efficient transceiver for vehicular ad hoc network based on IR-UWB

Abstract

Recently, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) has become an attractive area of research, and developed the application which can improve road safety, traffic efficiency and provides a comfort to both drivers and passengers. In VANET, the vehicles can communicate with each other to warn and inform drivers via wireless communication technology. The vehicles in VANET act as a transmitter and receiver to exchange data which can be attenuated in presence noise and obstacles. With theses constraints, we are proposed to use Impulse Radio Ultra wideband (IR-UWB) technology as a new radio-communication for inter-vehicle communication (IVC) system. In order to obtain a reliable data, we are interested to evaluate the IR-UWB transceiver as an efficient solution for the communication between moving vehicles. In this paper we show the performance of the IR-UWB transceiver suitable for inter-vehicle communication system with analyzing the effect of the multi-user interference (MUI).
