LTE V2V communications operate in the #47 E-UTRA band in the frequency band 5855 MHz–5925 MHz TDD with widebands of 10 or 20 MHz. 3GPP TS 36.104, 3GPP TR 36.785, 3GPP TS 36.211 chapter 9
Yes, LTE V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) communications typically operate in the 5.9 GHz frequency band.
The 5.9 GHz band, specifically the 5.85-5.925 GHz range, has been allocated for Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technologies, which include LTE V2V.
The use of the 5.9 GHz band for V2V communications provides several advantages:
Sufficient bandwidth: The 5.9 GHz band offers a wider bandwidth compared to lower frequency bands, allowing for higher data rates and more efficient data transfer between vehicles.
Propagation characteristics: The 5.9 GHz frequency range provides a good balance between range and obstacle penetration, enabling reliable communication between nearby vehicles.
Standardization: The use of the 5.9 GHz band for V2V communications has been widely adopted and standardized by various regulatory bodies and automotive industry organizations, ensuring compatibility and interoperability.
So, in summary, yes, LTE V2V communications primarily operate in the 5.9 GHz frequency band, which is well-suited for enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
