Is IEEE 802.11p V2X Obsolete Before<br />

it is Even Deployed?<br />

Johannes Hiltscher, Robin Streiter and Gerd Wanielik<br />

Abstract Years after publication of the IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609 standards<br />

for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs), first production vehicles equipped<br />

with conforming communication hardware are about to become available. The<br />

standard’s suitability for the hard real-time automotive environment has been<br />

debated intensively in recent years. Most publications use synthetic message sizes,<br />

while the comprehensive ITS-G5 standard allows for a performance evaluation of<br />

IEEE 802.11p in real scenarios. Realistic performance and scalability assessments<br />

of current automotive communication hardware can be derived from such an<br />

evaluation. Based on these we examine the suitability of the available standards for<br />

demanding hard real-time control tasks as cooperative adaptive cruise control<br />

(CACC).<br />

1 Introduction<br />

Vehicular communication is seen as one of the greatest advancements in the<br />

automotive domain, giving rise to technologies like autonomous driving and<br />

advanced driver assistance systems. Standardization efforts were completed several<br />

years ago, leading to the standards IEEE 802.11p covering the physical and IEEE<br />

1609 covering the medium access (MAC) and networking layers (refer to [16] for<br />
