Preliminary study of DSRC using MIMO technique and software defined radio for ITS

The development of DSRC (Dedicate Short Range Communication) for ITS (Intelligence Transportation System) has been recently concerned for high speed data transmission. However, the existing DSRC technique provides a low speed data transmission. The searching for new techniques to support transmission requirement is still on focus. This paper introduces to apply MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technique and SDR technology to study the performance of 5.9GHz DSRC based on IEEE802.11p (WAVE-DSRC) standard. The experiment results show that both BER and throughput performances are improved by using the proposed system.
