IEEE 802.11p
IEEE 802.11p is an approved amendment to the
Description
802.11p is the basis for dedicated short-range communications (DSRC), a U.S. Department of Transportation project based on the Communications Access for Land Mobiles (CALM) architecture of the International Organization for Standardization for vehicle-based communication networks, particularly for applications such as toll collection, vehicle safety services, and commerce transactions via cars. The ultimate vision was a nationwide network that enables communications between vehicles and roadside access points or other vehicles. This work built on its predecessor ASTM E2213-03 from ASTM International.[3]
In Europe, 802.11p is used as a basis for the ITS-G5 standard, supporting the GeoNetworking protocol for vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communication.[4] ITS G5 and GeoNetworking is being standardised by the
Context
Because the communication link between the vehicles and the roadside infrastructure might exist for only a short time interval, the IEEE 802.11p amendment defines a method to exchange data through that link without the need to establish a
Because such stations are neither associated nor authenticated, the authentication and data confidentiality mechanisms provided by the IEEE 802.11 standard (and its amendments) cannot be used. These kinds of functionality must then be provided by higher network layers.
Timing advertisement
This amendment adds a new management frame for timing advertisement, which allows IEEE 802.11p enabled stations to synchronize themselves with a common time reference. The only time reference defined in the IEEE 802.11p amendment is
Receiver performance
Some optional enhanced
Frequency band
IEEE 802.11p standard typically uses channels of 10 MHz bandwidth in the 5.9 GHz band (5.850–5.925 GHz). This is half the bandwidth as used in 802.11a, or double the transmission time per data symbol. This allows the receiver to better cope with the characteristics of the radio channel in vehicular communications environments, especially echoes of signals reflected by moving objects.[6]
History
The 802.11p Task Group was formed in November 2004. Lee Armstrong was chair and Wayne Fisher technical editor. Drafts were developed from 2005 through 2009. By April 2010 draft 11 was approved by 99% affirmative votes and no comments.[7] The approved amendment was published July 15, 2010; its title was "Amendment 6: Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments".[8]
In August 2008, the European Commission allocated part of the 5.9 GHz band for priority transport safety applications[9] and inter-vehicle, infrastructure communications.[10] The intention is that compatibility with the USA will be ensured even if the allocation is not exactly the same; frequencies will be sufficiently close to enable the use of the same antenna and radio transmitter/receiver.
Simulations published in 2010 predict delays of at the most tens of milliseconds for high-priority traffic.[6]
In November 2020, the
Implementations
In the Portuguese city of Porto, it is used as a mesh to provide vehicle data between public vehicles and wifi access for its passengers [13]
In Europe, it is foreseen to implement a set of use cases was outlined in the European Commission document "5G Global Developments".[14]
