Integrity of wireless communication in platoon model

Abstract

The technology made an easy way of communicating by allowing devices to communicate with each other. The group of mobile devices communicating among each other grouped in small or large cluster is a platooning, where a group of autonomous cars following each other at closer distance with the benefits of increasing road capacity, fuel savings, and quick response at any mission as there is no suddenly halt of human manoeuver. In this work, I consider the platooning made of vehicles communicating wirelessly through any communication channel based on the transmission of any vehicle. Thus, every vehicle is equipped by a group of sensors for facilitating this communication. In some cases, error may occur suddenly. In this regard an integrity of communication between vehicles is in question and needs a deep study, the Symbol Error Probability (SEP) between vehicles is analyzed by considering the transmitted power, M-symbols per bits all- in function of the number of vehicles involved in platooning and the transmitted power in function M-symbols per bit, the variation of M-symbols influence the variation of PSK modulation on different Symbols such as M=2, is BPSK until to M=32 for 32 QAM. The variation of platoon size is analyzed based on transmitted power and M-ary modulation is considered and captured through numerical results and interpreted on graph.
