Abstract

In the Quito historical center, due to its narrow streets, vehicular congestion is very frequent. Intelligent vehicles can be used, which have fully automatic driving, but need to interact with each other. The manner in which smart vehicles interact is through vehicle networks, which require the installation of an infrastructure called RSU (Road Side Unit) that uses the IEEE 802.11p standard and the RSU allows sending vehicle information to more distant places. However, installing RSUs requires an economic investment, so, as an alternative, it can be combined with an already deployed infrastructure such as the LTE (Long Term Evolution) cellular network, forming a heterogeneous network (HetNet). This paper seeks to analyze the behavior of the platooning HetNet through the analysis of physical and technical parameters of two network scenarios within of the Quito historical center.
