Abstract

Within the FleetNet project an ad hoc radio network for intervehicle communications (IVC) and road telematics is being developed. For the air interface, the framework of the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access time division duplex (UTRA TDD) standard has been selected as the most promising candidate. The requirements and challenges for synchronization in an ad hoc network with rapidly changing topology and high velocities are discussed. Solutions for synchronization in ad hoc networks based on UTRA TDD are proposed and evaluated by means of link-level simulations. The results indicate promising performance with only minor changes to the UTRA TDD standard specifications.
