    This work focuses on the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, its current challenges, future perspective and possible improvement.V2V communication is characterized by the dynamic environment, high mobility, nonpredective scenario, propagation effects, and also communicating antenna's positions. This peculiarity of V2V wireless communication makes channel modelling and the vehicular propagation quite challenging. In this work, firstly we studied the present context of V2V communication also known as Vehicular Ad-hoc Netwok (VANET) including ongoing researches and studies particularly related to Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), specifically designed for automotive uses with corresponding set of protocols and standards. Secondly, we focused on communication models and improvement of these models to make them more suitable, reliable and efficient for the V2V environment. As specifies the standard, OFDM is used in V2V communication, Adaptable OFDM transceiver was designed. Some parameters as performance analytics are used to compare the improvement with the actual situation. For the enhancement of physical layer of V2V communication, this work is focused in the study of MIMO channel instead of SISO. In the designed transceiver both SISO and MIMO were implemented and studied successfully

    Intelligent driving is a promising area for increased safety and comfort. Vehicular communication is an essential part to build such systems. This paper describes the modelling and the implementation of the IEEE 802.11p Physical (PHY) Layer to determine its reliability for vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and particularly vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), communications in the automotive field. A Matlab/Simulink simulation is carried out to analyze not only the baseband processing of the transceiver, but also the RF hardware part, the physical channel in different operating conditions and environments, and all the main impairments and sources of interferences/noise. The transceiver model consists of three parts, the transmitter, the receiver and the intermediate channel block. The model can be used to explore the performance (bit-rate, successfully delivered packet-rate, latency,..) of V2X links in different conditions (line-of-sight, non-line-of-sight), and environments (urban, suburban, rural and highway), considering single-hop or multi-hop networking, and allowing also dynamically changing the channel characteristics, or even using different modulation and coding schemes and physical transmission parameters. To assess the proposed V2X simulation tool, the simulation results are compared to the theoretical performance and to experimental results, obtained using the NEC LinkBird-MX C2X device. The proposed simulation tool can be useful to study the impact of vehicles distance, speed and operating scenario on the reliability of the communication system, once fixed the hardware apparatus, or to specify the performance of the hardware components needed to ensure a given V2X communication performance
