Antennas and Propagation Technologies of V2V Communications for Platooning

As a use case that takes advantage of the high reliability and low delay characteristics of 5G mobile communications (5G), its utilization for platooning (V2V direct communication) is being studied. Accordingly, we need to clarify propagation characteristics and study antenna configurations. This paper shows that the propagation loss characteristics in V2V application differ from those of conventional mobile communication. An antenna configuration suitable for V2V propagation loss characteristics is studied.
