Poster - RSSI-based antenna evaluation for robust BLE communication in in-car environments.

Achieving reliable wireless communications using COTS devices in vehicles has been an unattainable target so far. One reason is that the high safety requirements of automotive applications cannot be met by the relative unreliability of wireless communication in such complex environments. This poster presents an approach for utilizing RSSI as a first benchmark to evaluate antennas for a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based wireless communication system design to determine underlying link robustness.
