Abstract :
VANETs (Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks) usually utilize the double-ring model in estimating the channel effects. Our proposal exploits the double-ring model in presence of line of sight (LOS) components to observe the complex envelope of the received Frequency of Variation in Channel (FVC) effect. The effect is observed in presence of a Rician faded channel. Constant variation in FVC is a requisite condition for every vehicle communicating with another vehicle as variation in FVC is not only an unwanted effect but also responsible to generate a time-variant condition. This paper suggests several factors that are responsible for achieving a constant level of FVC by taking different possibilities of vehicle velocities relative to another vehicle during inter-vehicular communication. As a result, new techniques can be thought of to compensate the effect of FVC for inter-vehicular communication.
