Inter/Intra-Vehicle Wireless Communication

This paper surveys the current state-of-the-art in wireless

communication technology within vehicles, as well as between vehicles.
Different concepts associated with radio frequency bands and wave
propagation simulations as they apply to inter vehicle communication are
analyzed. The Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocols used in intervehicle communication are addressed, as are routing protocols. Security
issues associated with inter-vehicle communication are reviewed. The
intra-vehicle uses of wireless communication,and vehicle-to-roadside
communication, are also researched. Lastly, a real-life implementation of
vehicle-to-infrastructure

and

vehicle-to-vehicle

technology,

and

the

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standards that

support it, are analyzed.
