THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND RADIO FREQUENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR INTELLIGENT VEHICLE HIGHWAY SYSTEMS (IVHS)

There is little question that Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) will use radio-frequency (RF) communications. The RF spectrum however, is a finite natural source, and it has become very congested over the years. A new system like IVHS must compete for spectrum with existing users and other new technologies. The acquisition of frequencies for new systems is a very protracted process, even within the confines of a single country. In order for frequencies to be available when needed for field tests and operational systems, the process of acquiring them must begin immediately. In answer to these issues, this paper discusses a possible communication system architecture and describes the steps that must be taken to acquire the frequenceis to support it.
