Abstract

V2V, Vehicle to Vehicle communication has become one of the key features in achieving complete autonomy for self-driving vehicles. We use digital communication as a backbone to deliver a vehicle to vehicle communication. The primary building blocks of a digital communication system are source coding, error correction and detection, and channel coding. Choosing optimal techniques for each block plays a significant role in the performance of the entire communication system. Five Source coding techniques, three Error control, and Channel coding techniques, respectively, have been considered for the implementation. The methods were evaluated based on different comparison parameters for each of the building blocks. Based on the obtained result, the robust techniques were chosen for our application.
