Abstract: A system and method for optimizing spectrum access in data communications is disclosed. The system comprises a case module, a selection engine, an evaluation module and an update module. The case module determines a present case based at least in part on sensor data and environmental data, determines a matching case for the present case and configures one or more channel profiles for the present case based at least in part on the matching case. The selection engine selects a first channel based on the one or more channel profiles. The first channel is associated with a first channel profile from the one or more channel profiles. The evaluation module evaluates a first channel performance for the first channel and generates a first channel reward for the first channel. The update module updates the first channel profile based at least in part on the first channel reward.

Abstract: A simulator for inter-vehicle radio communication includes terrain and building data and can simulate the effects of buildings in terrain on radio propagation. The simulator also models other vehicles and the shadow effects of their presence. The system comprises a simulation engine, a network simulator, a driving simulator, a database and a user interface module adapted for communication. The simulation engine simulates the propagation of communication signals between vehicles including the effects of shadowing, and also receives data from the network simulator, the driving simulator and database to generate the propagation simulation. The simulation engine outputs the results of the propagation simulation to the user interface module which translates the information into various displays.
