In the context of a short-range communication system for advanced transport telematics (ATT) applications, this paper presents an analytical method to derive outage probability in the presence of Rice fading, noise, interference, and antenna diversity with selection combining; the approach is exploited to evaluate the performance of beacon-to-vehicle communications in urban environments. ATT applications are becoming more and more relevant for the purpose of designing a road traffic management system, either in urban or highway environments. The interest of researchers in this field mainly indicated two different frequency ranges for system operability, i.e., the 5.8and 60-64-GHz bands. The advantage of using millimeter waves is discussed with reference to efficient spatial filtering effects, having chosen a suitable model for channel characterization at 60 GHz. The validity of the analytical method is checked by …
