Mobile Throughput of 802.11b from Moving Vehicle to Roadside Access Point

This paper documents some tests of 802.11b wireless communication technology for vehicle to roadside communication. Data has been collected for a single vehicle communicating with a dedicated roadside antenna. The work is part of a larger effort to benchmark possible throughput of off-the-shelf wireless technologies. The results show that high-speed communication is possible over distances of up to 1 kilometer.
