Abstract
This paper reports on measurement results for the use of
IEEE 802.11 networks in drive-thru
scenarios: we have measured transmission
characteristics for sending and receiving high data
volumes from vehicles moving at different speeds that pass
one or more IEEE 802.11 access points on the roadside. We
discuss possibilities and limitations for the use of
scattered WLAN cells by devices in fast moving vehicles
and provide an analysis of the performance that can be
expected for the communication in such scenarios. Based
on these observations, we discuss implications for
applications and higher-layer protocols.
