Abstract

The automotive industry is undergoing significant development with the evolution of vehicular networks, intelligent transportation systems, and autonomous cars. These technologies are achievable by recent advances in software, hardware, and communication systems, along with various applications and standards. This paper proposes implementing an integrated communication system to enhance the quality of Vehicular communications. The proposed system adopted virtual multiple-input multiple-output (VMIMO) for impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz merged with Hermite orthogonal pulse shaping to enhance vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication links. The paper compares zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection techniques. The performance of both methods is evaluated using bit-error-rate (BER) analysis for both channel models. According to simulation results, the MMSE process achieves better performance than the ZF technique for the vehicular communication system. The simulation results include the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and the line-of-sight (LOS) scenarios for both channels models. Moreover, the simulation considers the effect of path-loss and noise on the transmitted signal
