Abstract :
This study presents the importance of propagation models in car-to-car simulations. It shows both their behaviour when using different propagation models and the possibility to auto adapt a propagation model in a simulation depending on the zone (urban, highway...). Also, it shows how diverse models can be reduced to one, optimizing the network performing in the simulation.
