Growing intelligent transportation systems demand a vehicular communication technology that can satisfy high requirements in terms of data rates, latency, reliability and number of connected devices. To evaluate the performance of such communication technology, real-world measurements are required for various channel conditions. Since vehicular measurement campaigns are expensive and time-consuming, a high-mobility environment poses enormous challenges for performance measurements. Using the existing technique of time-stretching the transmit signals, such experiments can be emulated through measurements at a single lower velocity by inducing effects caused by higher velocities. The existing time-stretching technique poses the problem of different channel estimation quality between the time-stretched and the original system. To ensure that the technique gives accurate results in practical …
