Abstract
In this paper we present a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) framework for testing wireless vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication hardware, i.e., modems under realistic channel conditions. The framework includes a wireless channel emulator, which is capable of emulating non-stationary wireless channels in real-time. We validate the HiL framework by comparing the frame error rate (FER) obtained via emulation with data obtained during a V2X measurement campaign using the same IEEE 802.11p based modems. To do this we acquire measured time-variant channel transfer function and FER measurements simultaneously. The results show that our HiL approach is feasible and that we can obtain FER measurements in the laboratory that closely match the measurement results obtained on the road, giving the maximal distance of 0.099 between their cumulative distribution functions.
