How Much of DSRC is Available for Non-Safety Use? Zhe Wang and Mahbub Hassan School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Overview Understanding DSRC multichannel structure Formulation of non-safety share of DSRC Simulation experiments Observations and conclusions The Promise of DSRCCould road-accident be the thing of the past? Co-existence of Safety Non-Safety To be viable, DSRC needs to support non-safety as well E-toll, music download, etc. Non-safety should not interfere with safety IEEE solution: multichannel structure for DSRC Divides entire DSRC spectrum into 7 non-overlapping channels Safety on control channel (CCH), non-safety on service channels (SCH) IEEE 1609.4 Multi-Channel Operation Conventional radios operate with one channel at a time Safety-non-safety coexistence ? switch bw CCH/SCH vehicles must switch to CCH several times a second 1609.4 requires all vehicles to synchronize the switching Concept of Sync Interval (SI) which in turn is divided into CCH interval (CCHI) and SCH interval (SCHI) Result: cyclic transmission Safety tx followed by non-safety tx in a repetitive fashion DSRC Shares in Cyclic Transmission Safety and non-safety share the limited DSRC resource Increasing non-safety share decreases safety (vice-versa) Shares are strictly controlled through CHI/SCHI/SI Non-safety share = SCHI/SI, safety = CHI/SI Note that SCHI+CHI=SI (ignoring GI) 1609.4 has not specified values for these intervals Safety First Performance of safety has to be guaranteed Selection of SI and CHI has performance implications for safety applications How SI relates to safety performance?Concept of updating frequency Vehicles must exchange status f times a second Must switch to CCH f times a second ? Most researchers believe that f =10 ?SI=100ms Setting SI=100ms guarantees that every vehicle will get a chance to broadcast its status every 100ms How CCHI relates to safety performance?Concept of
