For example, sensor-equipped cars that communicate via wireless links (and thus create ad-hoc networks) can be used to reduce traffic accidents and facilitate traffic flow. Mobile-to-mobile communication systems also find applications in intelligent transportation systems, relay-based cellular networks, and future combat systems. The design of highly reliable mobile-to-mobile wireless communication systems requires a detailed understanding of propagation among vehicles. The awarded paper presents the first three-dimensional wideband channel model for mobile-to-mobile communications and presents experimental validation of this model.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis paper is a result of Dr. Zaji\u0107\u0026#39;s Ph.D. thesis work while she was a member of Wireless Systems Laboratory, which is led by Dr. St\u0026uuml;ber, and the research was funded by the Army Research Laboratory Collaborative Technology Alliance for Communications and Networking. Dr. Zaji\u0107 is a new assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, while Dr. St\u0026uuml;ber has been on the ECE faculty since 1986, where he is the Joseph M.
