Abstract
Various means of modern transports have already taken the initiative to incorporate computing and communication technology. This cross field area is coined as intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Transport systems of the future require fast and precise monitoring to ensure safety of such systems is guaranteed. Thus, the communication aspect demands seamless and minimal error whilst delivering vital data. However, the dynamic surroundings always post a challenge to wireless communications, taking account into a myriad of interference such as multipath fading, shadowing, dispersing and path loss. Furthermore, there is also case of mobility. In this paper, the performance of wireless communications with adaptive modulation and coding in vehicular scenarios were compared against rigid transmission techniques. Simulations were conducted over different mobility channel models against Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) to provide thorough analysis. Performance measure of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Packet Error Rate (PER) were used to provide understanding of the overall picture.
