All results originate from an 5.9 GHz IEEE 802.11p NLOS reception test at 8 intersections in Munich, performed in Oct/Nov 2010. We tested 2-3 sender distances per side street (30 and 60 meter, sometimes also 100m), plus 1 position in the center. We performed 2 test runs for each transmitter position on the crossing street (one in each direction).
