Abstract

Wireless and mobile communications are the current trends of technologies, which are rapidly expanding. Considering the robustness as well as minimizing the cost of the WiMAX base station, incorporating WiMAX with other existing technologies such as DSRC, which provides efficiency when it comes to vehicular communication as these are mobile, fading as well as data loss should not be compromised as well as competing in coverage and data rate in a vehicular network. Multistandard convergence and efficient bandwidth usage are the major business trends in the era of wireless communication. WiMAX–DSRC convergence is an ideal technology that provides the best of both worlds: the low cost features of DSRC and the new features in WiMAX. In order to create an environment of heterogeneous networks, the authors investigated the differences between the two technologies (WiMAX and DSRC). Both technologies have orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission in the physical layer with different standards. The authors thoroughly investigated and successfully established OFDM transmission between DSRC and WiMAX systems. Therefore by modifying the configurable parameters, in this paper, considering DSRC-OFDM and WiMAX-OFDM, data transmission is simulated in MATLAB®.
