A spatial QoS requirements specification for V2V applications

Vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication is a key component of tomorrow's cooperative safety applications. However, the wireless link is susceptible to effects such as shadowing which can cause communication failures. Such failures may in turn lead to hazardous traffic situations when safety applications cease to function. By monitoring communication QoS and adapting to changes, effects of link failure may be mitigated, however this requires a specification of the application QoS requirements. In this paper we combine the T-Window reliability QoS metric with a spatial component, allowing us to capture the dependencies between VANET QoS requirements and road geometry. The proposed representation can be used both at design-time, to characterize applications, and at run-time for QoS monitoring and adaptation purposes.
