V. Shivaldova:
"Statistical Modeling of Vehicular Link Performance";
Talk: Workshop on Wireless Vehicular Communications, Halmstad, Sweden (invited); 11-20-2013.

This talk is focused on the statistical analysis of a vehicular communication channel. We assume that the channel switches between different states, each having different packet loss probability. The transition between the different states of the channel is governed by a Markov chain, which cannot be directly observed from the performance measurements. However, the received packet flow provides some probabilistic information about the current state of the channel, as well as some information about the parameters of the model. We will discuss the influence of various modeling aspects and analyze how many states are required to pertinently model a real communication channel.
