Throughput and Delay Limits of 802.11p and its Influence on Highway Capacity

Based on Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), a stable, reliable and low delay wireless network access environment is an inevitable element of vehicle safety applications. The IEEE 802.11p is a specially designed protocol for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication. It provides 10 MHz channel bandwidth and up to 27-Mbps data transmission rate. This paper analyzes the theoretical throughput and delay limit of the 802.11p protocol. Considering Packet Loss Rate (PLR) and delay of VANETs, the authors analyzed the theoretical highway capacity upper limit of 802.11p for V2V communication. The results show that 802.11p communication technology can increase highway capacity. If all of the vehicles are equipped with 802.11p communication technology, the increase in highway capacity is about 491 percent.
