  2. Abstract This presentation provides some background on the reason why time distribution is useful to WAVE Justin McNew, Kapsch TrafficCom

  3. Original reasons for including timing information • WAVE environment utilizes a multi-channel operation scheme that includes channel switching for the most basic devices • Devices may switch to one of six service channels (North American frequency allocation) to exchange data with a service provider (channel intervals must be synchronized) • Guard interval is 2 ms (implies at least microsecond granularity is required) • Devices without a time reference can utilize the timing advertisement to know when to switch to another channel (to switch synchronously) • Timing advertisement approach is most efficient for WAVE because it can be combined with a service advertisement (instead of multiple frames) Justin McNew, Kapsch TrafficCom

  4. Additional Background • The Timestamp has always been part of 802.11p’s advertisement frame • WAVE Action Frame, Quick Beacon, and now the Timing Advertisement • The Timestamp provides the most accurate means of conveying time because it is accurate to a few microseconds • WAVE originally relied on a higher layer function to provide the TSF Timer Offset Estimate (TTOE) • TTOE is the difference between UTC and the Timestamp • It is included in the same frame that can be used to advertise some specific features from the service provider (using the VSIE with a IEEE 1609 specific OUI) • Timing is useful for a number of other IEEE 1609 applications and functions such as message lifetimes and higher layer security features • Mechanism cannot rely on periodic beacons due to scalability limitations in a highly mobile environment Justin McNew, Kapsch TrafficCom
