Interoperability of IEEE1609 WAVE Devices for Safety Channel Communications Wendong Hu STMicroelectronics, Inc. wendong.hu@st.com February, 2010 A submission to IEEE1609 Working Group
5.9GHz DSRC Spectrum Allocation • Control Channel • Ch 178 • Service Channels • Safety Channels • Ch 172 • Ch 184 See FCC R&O FCC-06-110
FCC R&O 06-110 • Channel 172 is designated for public safety applications involving safety of life and property. • Channel 184 is designated for public safety applications involving safety of life and property. Only those entities meeting the requirements of 90.373(a) are eligible to hold an authorization to operate on this channel.
Typical WAVE Device Types Operating on the Safety Channels • Single-PHY devices • Type A: CCH-SCH-Switching Device • Type B: Safety-Channel-only Device • Dual-PHY devices • Type D: Both radios are Channel-Switching-Capable
Interoperability of Various Single-PHY WAVE Devices on the Safety Channel • Case 1 – All Type A devices (OK) • Case 2 – All Type B devices (OK) • Case 3 – Mixture of Type A and B devices (Problematic)
A Solution to the Interoperability Problem • Type C Single-PHY Device substituting Type A Devices • The synchronization interval is divided into: • Safety Channel Interval • Dedicated for safety channel (e.g. channel 172) operations • Non Safety Channel Interval • Flexibly used for CCH or/and SCH operations • Type C Device can have identical behaviors as Type A Device • Channel switching capability support both safety and non-safety applications
Case 1 – All Type C devices (OK) Case 2 – All Type B devices (OK) Case 3 – Mixture of Type C and B devices (OK) Interoperability using Type C Devices
Interoperability of Dual-PHY WAVE Devices on the Safety Channel
Interoperability of Various WAVE Devices on the Safety Channel
Suggested Modification to the Standard • In IEEE 1609, the “Synchronization Interval” should be modified and divided into “Safety Channel Interval” and “Non Safety Channel Interval”, instead of “ CCH interval” and “SCH interval”.
