Requirements and Complexity Analysis of Cross-Layer Design Optimization for Adaptive Inter-vehicle DSRC

Accurate implementation of communications protocol stacks is unavoidable, however the traditional protocol stack designed for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) does not efficiently support safety applications. DSRC protocol stack must satisfy some stringent performance requirements by safety applications in challenging scenarios such as heavy road traffic. Several communications solutions, and industry standards including the recently published SAE-J2945.1 standard, are proposed for vehicular safety systems, but by what means such systems can address the stringent requirements of safety applications and the scalability issue in their actual deployment is still an open question. With the current spectrum allocations for vehicular DSRC and the data traffic generated by cooperative applications, the radio channels could be easily saturated in the absence of effective control algorithms, resulting in unstable inter-vehicle communications and eventually failure of the system. The results of several simulation studies are presented in this paper to evaluate the DSRC channel and understand the parameters affecting its state.
