# A survey on channel modeling for vehicular communications
Trucks have attenuation which can be greater than 20dB - larger than personal vehicles
Path loss exponent is 1.6-2.9 on highways
### DSRC
1 ctrl channel
6 service channels
with 10MHz BW and 5 MHz guard band.
### General V2X specs
Distance usually 10-500m
Main idea of [channel model](../../../../Concepts/General/channel%20model.md) is usability of the model and amount of geographic information available
#objsidenote may need to look at geographic information available for BWSC route
## Chapter 2
Other vehicles might need to be a relay agent between two vehicles.
Wifi standard 802.11p used for V2X - 5.9GHz.
This can be used in an adverse environment.
[Road Side units (RSU)](../../../../Concepts/General/Road%20Side%20units%20(RSU).md)
## Chapter 3
Path loss exponent is 1.6-2.9 on highways (references [11] and [12]).
Mean delay spread is 140-400ns
Used part of San Diego state uni to use as the environment.
##### 3.1.1.1 Link Types
Atennas on top for V2V.
##### 3.1.1.2 Vehicle Types
Trucks have attenuation which can be greater than 20dB - larger than personal vehicles
#question What is the attenuation of a personal vehicle?
#answer check: Geometry-based vehicle to vehicle channel
modeling for large-scale simulation and Impact
of a truck as an obstacle on vehicle-to-vehicle communications in rural and highway
scenarios
##### 3.1.1.3 Objects
Mobile objects are priority on highway.
Non-line of sight channels show larger root mean square delay spreads than line of sight (LOS).
### 3.2 Classification of Channel models
#### 3.2.1 Propagation Mechanisms
1. Varying path loss
2. high doppler shift
3. Frequency selective fading (caused by static/mobile objects)
Use [Piecemeal modeling](../../../../Concepts/General/Piecemeal%20modeling.md)
#### 3.2.2 Large scale propagation
[Log-distance path loss model](../../../../Concepts/General/Log-distance%20path%20loss%20model.md)
Other options exist, including a [two-way ground reflection model](../../../../Concepts/General/two-way%20ground%20reflection%20model.md)
#### 3.2.3 Small-scale fading
