85731 - VEHICULAR COMMMUNICATIONS M

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course will provide fundamentals of intra-vehicle wireless and wired communication systems, and of wireless transmission and network/protocol architectures for the connectivity between the vehicle and the cloud. Understanding of the architecture of satellite positioning systems and the main design principles and performance trade-off.

Contenuti

The course introduces the student to the world of connected and automated vehicles, providing the necessary fundamentals of communication systems and networks to understand and handle vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communication scenarios.

Course outline:

• Introduction to vehicular communication
• Connected and automated vehicles
• Applications and requirements
• Wireless enabling technologies for V2X communications
• The protocol pillar
• The physical layer: channel models, single carrier (L-ASK, M-QAM, L-PSK) and multi carrier (OFDM) modulations, bit error rate and channel capacity, multiple antennas, equalization.
• The MAC layer: deterministic and random access to the channel (FDMA, TDMA, CDMA, OFDMA, CSMA, ALOHA).
• V2X communications: cellular systems vs WiFi-based systems.
• Other complementary technologies. VLC and mmWaves
• Focus on LTE-V2X
• Focus on IEEE 802.11p

 

Potential seminars (to be confirmed):

• FEV
• CNIT
• FIAT
