Abstract
In this paper, we present a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) wireless channel measurement at 5.9 GHz in the tunnel environments. The small scale fading characteristics are analyzed for outside and inside the tunnel, and the conjunction part in between. We evaluate the received signal magnitude inside the tunnel by comparing its distribution with five typical theoretical fading distributions. The best fit among the considered fading distributions is found to be Rician distribution that has the lowest Goodness of Fit (GoF) indicator. The K-factor calculated from measurements data inside the tunnel is lower than the values obtained outside the tunnel. Further, the K-factor is found to be dependent on the transmitter (Tx)-receiver (Rx) distance in the considered scenario.
