DSRC Market Challenges
Spectrum Sharing an Impediment to Effective DSRC Implementation
Though DSRC spectrum (5.8GHz and 5.9GHz bands) was set aside for use in vehicle and transportation systems, government is trying to open more spectrum for wireless communication ecosystem for which DSRC is not an exception. Wireless technology companies have been exploring various frameworks to enable ITS and general-purpose communications to share 5.9GHz band. The major concern for 5.9Ghz spectrum is its allocation to Wi-Fi on sharing basis, which may cause unnecessary interference in safety communications. Qualcomm made a proposal for distributing up the spectrum for safety and non-safety applications, instead of sharing entire bands for Wi-Fi. According to re-channelization plan, safety-of-life applications would be utilizing top 30Mhz of 5.9GHz band and non-safety-of-life applications would be provided with lower 45MHz of the band. The automakers have currently supported such distribution but as demand for Wi-Fi connected devices increase manifold, violation of such distribution looks possible in next few years.
