Path Loss with Doppler Shift Effect and Handover Delay Analysis on Cellular Communication for Connected Car Application in Urban Area

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the study on path loss and delay of cellular communication is conducted by considering doppler shift fading effect, shadowing effect and handover session in urban area. The experiment will consist observation on three different wireless communication module. This three-wireless module will have different carrier frequency and radio interface technologies to determine the effect of doppler shift to communication path loss and handover delay of a moving vehicle. The path loss of a moving vehicle will be determined based on measured received power on communication modules antenna and transmit power from base station. Handover delay that experienced by a moving vehicle will be measured based on data transmission latency during communication session transferring from previous cell network area that pass by the vehicle to a new cell network area. From this experiment, the best selection of wireless communication module by considering doppler shift effect and handover delay in urban area is determined as suited module to be use on connected car system.
