Results for area 8.2 Transmission characteristics

term
bit error rate (BER)
definition

averaged number of erroneous bits relative to the total number of transmitted bits

standard (extract)
term
bit rate
definition

number of bits per second, independent of the data coding

standard (extract)
term
carrier frequencies
definition

number and values of the downlink carrier frequencies, which are equal to the frequencies of the continuous wave CW, transmitted by the RSU and used by transponder OBUs for uplink communication; each carrier frequency is the centre frequency of a downlink channel

standard (extract)
term
uplink communication
definition

communication from the OBU to the RSU

standard (extract)
term
uplink parameters
definition

parameters apply to transmission of data from OBU to RSU

standard (extract)
term
downlink parameters
definition

downlink parameters apply to transmission of data from RSU to OBU

standard (extract)
term
range of transmission wavelength
definition

the lower and upper optical wavelength describe the optical bandwidth of an IR radiátor; both the lower and upper optical wavelength of an IR radiator are defined by the reduction of the peak intensity by 3dB, taking into account the effects of temperature and component deviations

standard (extract)
term
polarisation
definition

polarisation of the electrical field strength (horizontal, vertical, left or right hand circular)

standard (extract)
term
modulation
definition

keying of the carrier wave by coded data

standard (extract)
term
antenna bore sight direction
definition

direction of maximum antenna gain

standard (extract)
term
fragmentation
definition

function performed by the transfer kernel to map one ASDU on multiple LSDUs

NOTE1 In ISO/IEC 7498-1, fragmentation is called segmentation.

NOTE2 The inverse function is called defragmentation or, in ISO/IEC 7498-1, disassembling.

standard (extract)
term
concatenation
standard (extract)
term
communication initialization
definition

procedure used to establish communication between an RSU and a newly arrived OBU

standard (extract)
term
multiplexing
definition

function within the Transfer Kernel allowing simultaneous support for more that one Application in a single OBU

standard (extract)
term
link identifier
definition

unique address used for addressing the mobile equipment

standard (extract)
term
termination
definition

the procedure used to terminate communication between a RSU and an OBU

standard (extract)
term
transmitter spectrum mask
definition

maximum power (density) emitted by the RSU transmitter as function of the frequency

standard (extract)
term
vehicle service table (VST)
definition

data structure transmitted by the OBU to indicate available services

standard (extract)
