SNRC Industry Seminar Series - "5.9GHz Dedicated Short Range Communications for Vehicle Applications"

Abstract:

5.9 GHz DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) is a short to medium range communications service that enables both public safety and private applications in Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure modes. 5.9GHz DSRC is based on OFDM and provides data rate up to 54Mbps.

On December 17, 2003, the FCC adopted a Report and Order establishing service rules for the DSRC service in the 5.850-5.925 GHz band (5.9 GHz band). The 5.9GHz DSRC is also known as IEEE802.11p or Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE). The IEEE approved the Project Authorization Request for 802.11p on September 23, 2004.

The new standard will support various Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications including collision avoidance, traveler information, toll collection, commercial vehicle operations, transit operations, and traffic management.
