Abstract

The 802.11a standard has been considered and applied to DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) in the 5.9 GHz band. Among the parameters of the DSRC are support for data transfers during high-mobility applications. Given that the 802.11a standard was designed for relatively low speed (3 MPH) wireless LAN applications, it is necessary to analyze the suitability of the standard in outdoor high-speed mobility applications. We present an analysis of the error rate of 802.11a in high-speed mobile applications. It is shown that 802.11a/RA communication exhibits high packet error rates and consequently lower channel capacity. An example is submitted and discussed.
