Abstract
Radio channel modeling is critical for design, simulate and optimize any wireless system. It is very important to analyse and describe the properties of the communication channel that have an impact on the system performance, in order to properly design all the layers of the communications protocol stack. In Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) the channels have certain characteristics that make it unique: transmitter and receiver are mobile, antennas are placed at low elevations, severe fading, channel statistically nonstationary. Thus, new channel models are needed to characterize this new scenario. In this Master thesis some radio channel models for VANETs are studied. After the research of the most suitable channel model, we will incorporate the results in the networking simulator ns3.
